Oklahoma DPS Scam Text Message - Beware

Key Warning Signs

• Threats of Suspension: Messages often state your license will be suspended or a warrant will be issued unless you click a link.
• Impersonation: Texts claim to come from OK DPS, the "Department of Vehicles," or the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
• No Official Fines via SMS: State and local agencies do not text you about traffic violations or collect fine payments over the phone. All legitimate fine collections go through a county court clerk's office.

What to Do If You Get a Message

• Do NOT click any links in the text message.
• Do NOT provide any personal or financial information.
• Delete and report the message. You can forward scam texts to 7726 (SPAM) to alert your mobile carrier.

• Visit the official Oklahoma DPS Website for verified agency contact information.
