Scam
SCAM: Reposting from Anonymous "Scam Alert 🚨 Info below was copied from an ChatGPT that broke down why this is fake — sharing for awareness: Yeah — this is a scam. 100%. 🚩 Good instinct checking before clicking anything. Here’s why it’s fake: Major red flags 1. DMV does NOT text like this. Hawaii DMV (or courts) send notices by mail, not random SMS threats. 2. Sketchy link: vehicle.govbkg.bond ❌ That is not a real Hawaii government domain. Official Hawaii sites end in .gov (like hawaii.gov), not weird mashups. 3. Urgency + threats combo: “Pay by Feb 3 or license suspended + 35% fee + legal action” — classic scare tactic. 4. Random phone number: +1 (219) is Indiana, not Hawaii. 5. Vague language: No ticket number, no vehicle info, no name — real violations always reference specifics. What to do right now • ❌ Do NOT click the link • ❌ Do NOT reply • 📱 Tap “Report Junk” (you already see that option — good) • 🗑️ Delete the message If you want peace of mind • You can check legit traffic stuff only via: • Hawaii Judiciary / traffic courts • Official DMV site: https://portal.ehawaii.gov • Or log into any actual court citation portal you’ve used before (not via links in texts) You’re good. Your license isn’t about to get nuked 😌 If you want, send me screenshots of any other weird texts — these scams are popping off hard right now."
