Scam Alert: Fake Traffic Ticket Texts

Have you ever received a text saying you have a traffic ticket with a deadline to pay?
Some messages may look like they’re from a court and urge you to click a link right away but these can be scams.

⚠️ Watch for:

  • Urgent deadlines
  • Suspicious links
  • Messages asking for immediate payment

If something feels off, it’s always best to verify directly through official sources, not the link in the message.

Stay Safe During Roadside Emergencies

Watch Out for Roadside Assistance Scams

When your car breaks down, help should make things easier—not worse. Unfortunately, scammers sometimes target stranded drivers. Here’s how to stay protected:

  • Call Trusted Sources Only: Use the number from your insurance, car manual, or official roadside assistance card.
  • Confirm It’s the Service You Called: Scammers may show up pretending to be the company you contacted—always double-check before accepting help.
  • Go Through Your Insurance When Possible: If your policy includes roadside assistance, reach out directly for verified help.
  • Watch for Red Flags: Be cautious of anyone asking for upfront cash payments or offering unclear pricing.

Stay alert and don’t let scammers turn a stressful situation into something worse.
