ADOT Text Scam - Fake MVD SMS to Update AZ Drivers License
ADOT Text Scam - Fake MVD SMS to Update AZ Drivers License

Arizonans have reported receiving a scam text about their driver's license needing to be updated, but the text did not come from the Arizona Department of Transportation(ADOT), Motor Vehicle Services, or Motor Vehicle Department(MVD). The scam text is a phony attempt to get people to hand over their personal identifying information. Do not open this text or any web address associated with it. This is a scam and you should never click on unsolicited or suspicious links in texts or emails.

The only ADOT website customers should conduct personal business on is AZMVDNow.gov or ServiceArizona.com.

ADOT is working with the Arizona Department of Administration and law enforcement in an effort to protect their customers. And, remember, the text message claiming to be ADOT isn't real and you never click on suspicious links in texts or emails.
