🚨 PSA: The Louisiana DMV doesn’t exist. We have the OMV here — and they’re not sending out threatening texts demanding payment.

If you get a message like this, don’t click the link. Don’t pay. Don’t panic. Just delete it.

📢 Stay alert and spread the word to friends and family — especially those who may be more vulnerable to scams. Let’s keep Louisiana informed and protected. 💪

Please follow these tips to avoid being a victim of scams:

· DO NOT click on links in an unsolicited message from an unverified source
· DO NOT respond or send your personal information via text
· Delete all suspicious texts and emails and report them to reportfraud.ftc.gov
· Exercise caution with all communications you receive from anonymous sources
· Confirm the message was generated from a legitimate source
· Keep an eye out for signs of scams (rewards, vague URLs, incorrect grammar)
