(SPRINGFIELD) The Illinois Sheriff’s Association, along with most all area Sheriff’s Departments, are warning regional residents to beware of a bogus text message from the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Authorities say the texts are a scam, mostly claiming the residents have unpaid traffic tickets and therefore threatens to suspend the person’s driver’s license and/or vehicle registration unless it is paid immediately. Those receiving such a text should ignore and delete them. Go to the Secretary of State’s website, www.ilsos.gov for more information.
