Don’t fall for it

I got a text message the other day saying that I had an outstanding traffic ticket.  The text came from New Jersey but was allegedly from the Wisconsin Department of Vehicles. Huh?

I had apparently violated something in the North Wisconsin Car State Administrative Code. Double huh? 

There was more, but it was very obvious it was a scam. 

Not everyone sees it that way. I know of one person who was in a hurry, wasn’t thinking, and got scammed.  

That’s what these scummy scammers are counting on. People being rushed, not wanting to get into any more trouble, and in the end, scammed.  

We see stories like this in the news all the time where people get ripped off because of some scammer. It’s frustrating to see it happen over and over.  

If you know someone who might be vulnerable, have a conversation with them on what to beware of.  

With all the technology available these days, scammers are getting more creative in their ways to separate money from you or someone you know.
