Scam Notice from the Police Department
It has come to our attention that some residents are receiving text messages from a number claiming to be the Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The text message tells you that you have an outstanding traffic ticket and lists potential penalties if you do not pay the ticket. These text messages are not legitimate; you should block the phone number and delete the message. Pennsylvania government entities will not reach out to you via text message.
