NCDMV Warns of Fraudulent Text Scams
The N. C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) is alerting the public about a surge in fraudulent text message scams targeting residents.

• Verify any NCDMV-related inquiries through official channels.

• Report suspicious texts to your mobile carrier or the Federal Trade Commission at: ftc.gov/complaint.
