Scam Alert

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Our community has reported receiving this “Notice of Default” regarding traffic and toll violations. While it looks official at first glance, it is 100% fake. Can you spot the red flags?

The Seals: Look closely at both the seals at the top and bottom. The wording on the seals is illegible and or misspelled.

The QR Code: Real New York courts or the DMV will not send you a high-pressure letter demanding you “Scan a QR code” to pay immediately to avoid arrest or suspension.

The Urgency: Scammers use “Final Warnings” and tight deadlines (like the March 25th date shown) to make you act before you think.

The Bottom Line: If you receive this, DO NOT scan the QR code. Scanning it likely leads to a fraudulent payment site designed to steal your credit card info.

What to do:

Delete/Ignore: If it’s a text or email, block the sender.

Verify: If you’re worried about actual tickets, check the official NYS DMV website.

Share: Tell your neighbors, especially those who might be more vulnerable to “legal” looking scams.
