The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (MDPS) is warning residents about a fraudulent text message currently circulating that falsely claims to be from the Driver Service Bureau (DSB).
According to MDPS, the message is part of a scam and is not connected in any way to the department or the Driver Service Bureau. Officials emphasized that neither MDPS nor DSB will ever send text messages requesting payment or personal information.
Authorities are urging recipients of the suspicious message not to click on any links included in the text. Instead, the public is advised to delete the message immediately and report it as spam through their mobile carrier.
MDPS is encouraging residents to remain vigilant, especially when receiving unsolicited messages that request sensitive information or prompt urgent action.
