WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – At first, getting a text message from the Kentucky Driver Licensing Regional Office may seem legit. However, local law enforcement is warning scammers are behind some of these messages.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office says the fraudulent text messages claim a victim owes money for traffic violations. They may even threaten suspension of a victim’s license.
However, authorities say this is a scam.
The messages are not from an official government agency.
How to spot the scam 
Here are some red flags to watch for, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office:
Authorities say not to click any links or respond to a message, to delete the text and, if you’re concerned about your license status, to contact the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet directly with official channels.
If you receive a message like this or have questions, the community can contact the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.
