Alabama Department of Revenue Scams

The Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) is warning of multiple active scams, including text messages (SMS) and phishing emails claiming approved tax refunds or outstanding traffic fines. These scams attempt to steal personal and financial information through fake links. ALDOR does not send text messages asking for personal information.

Details the Scams

  • Text Message (SMS) Scam: Messages claim a "refund request has been approved" or ask for payments for traffic violations/toll charges, often directing to a malicious URL. These sometimes falsely reference a "Regional Bank Partnership".
  • DocuSign Email Scam: A fraudulent email uses the official Docusign platform to appear legitimate, asking to review an "Alabama Department of Revenue" document. They often originate from non-ALDOR domains.
  • Phone Scams: Criminals call posing as ALDOR, promising money back or offering rebates for economic hardship related to inflation.
  • What to Do: Do not click links, do not reply, and delete the messages immediately.
  • Verify Information: Check your actual refund status only on the official Alabama Department of Revenue website.
  • Report Scams: Suspicious activity can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission or ALDOR directly.
