🚨 SCAM ALERT – From Your Sheriff’s Office 🚨
We are seeing an increase in scam messages circulating in our community, including ones claiming to be from the Virginia DMV.
⚠️ Please be aware:
The DMV will NEVER send text messages about fines, license suspensions, or request personal or financial information via text.
If you receive a message like this:
❌ Do NOT respond
❌ Do NOT click any links
🗑️ Delete it immediately
📲 Report it as spam on your phone
If you are unsure whether a message is legitimate, contact the DMV directly using official channels.
