ARDOT is the latest agency to provide a scam warning. According to a news release, Arkansans should be cautious of fraudulent texts asking for personal information or payment information. ARDOT has received reports of fraudulent text messages posing as the “Arkansas Vehicle Administration” to collect payments for traffic violations. These scam messages include fake links that appear to come from ARDOT, and some even use real ticket numbers.
These fraudulent messages come on the heels of a previous texting scam relating to toll roads.
You can report a scam at the Arkansas Attorney General’s website.
