Facebook post warns of scam claiming license suspension
A Facebook post is warning users about a recurring scam that falsely threatens license suspension or debt collection and urges recipients to delete the messages.
The post, shared on a social media page, said: “Guess what? Another scam! No, we’re not suspending your license or sending you to a debt collector. Delete the message. Don’t click any links or sending any payments!”
Scams that impersonate government agencies or debt collectors are common and aim to steal money or personal information. They often use urgent language or threats to prompt recipients to click links, provide sensitive data or make payments.
Security experts advise people who receive unsolicited messages to avoid clicking links, never send payments or personal information in response, and verify any official-looking claim by contacting the agency directly using publicly listed phone numbers or websites. Consumers can also report suspicious messages to local law enforcement or consumer protection agencies.
Details about the origin of the post or the scale of the scam were not available. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
