🚨 SCAM ALERT – TEXT MESSAGE NOTICE 🚨

We’ve received more reports of a fraudulent text message claiming to be a “Final Notice – Court Enforcement Action” for unpaid traffic violations. Some messages may include an attached letter or a link/QR code.

As a reminder, this is a scam.

⚠️ Red flags:
• Mentions Iowa but references an out-of-state court
• Urgent threats of fines, license suspension, or court action
• Requests for payment through a link or QR code
• Messages like this will NOT be sent via text message

❗ You will never receive official court or government notices like this by text message
❗ Do NOT click links or scan QR codes
❗ Do NOT send money or provide personal information

Legitimate court or government agencies will contact you through official, verifiable channels such as mail—not unsolicited texts demanding payment.

If you receive this message:
• Delete it
• Do not respond
• Report it as spam on your phone

If you’re unsure about a notice, contact your local law enforcement agency directly using a trusted phone number.

Please share to help protect others in our community.
