CARSON CITY – The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is warning motorists about a speeding ticket scam that has surfaced in the Silver State.
Hackers are sending out emails, purportedly from the DMV, about alleged traffic violations that can only be paid online with a credit card.
The emails demand payment of a fine within 72 hours and contain links for “EasyPay” or to contest the citation.
The Nevada DMV does not issue traffic citations or collect fines, according to Director Julie Butler.
