Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The fake KYDOT (Kentucky Department of Transportation) text message below, which claims recipients should update their contact information due to a complaint, is a scam. Recipients are asked not to click the link in the text because it goes to a fake or phishing KYDOT website that steals personal and financial information. KYTC does not send out text messages requesting personal or financial information.
