‼ A TEXTING SCAM is firing up again! Remember – the Iowa DOT does not send out fee collection reminders via text, and will never text customers asking for private or financial information. If you receive a message:

* DO NOT click on any links or provide personal or credit card information.
* Report and delete unwanted text messages. Use your phone’s “report junk” option to report unwanted texts to your messaging app or forward them to 7726 (SPAM).
