Attention: Phone Scam

Reposted from Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office FB

The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office would like to warn residents of a new text message scam that is being reported by members of the community. There are text messages being received by the community members warning of a final notice for an outstanding traffic ticket. The text message warns of your driving privileges and vehicle registration being suspended. These are generalized messages being sent at random attempting to coax individuals to enter payment information into a fraudulent website. Cattaraugus County Department of Motor Vehicles has confirmed fraudulent activity. Please do not respond or enter any personal information if you receive this message.
