STATEWIDE SCAM IS STILL CONTINUING

The imaginary basketball arena is modelled and rendered.

(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.
