CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles has received multiple reports of scammers contacting residents by text, claiming that the agency is awarding consumers with cash prizes for being safe drivers, officials said.
In another reported scam, a consumer received a text message from someone that falsely represented they worked for the DMV and needed the consumer to text them back in order to update the consumer’s driving status.
The DMV does not send unsolicited texts to consumers, and it does not award cash prizes, the attorney general’s office said in a statement Monday.
The office advises people not to respond to the messages. Consumers with questions about texts that appear to be from the DMV can call (603) 271-4000.
