Local law enforcement agencies are warning citizens about a new scam that appears to be coming from the Iowa Department of Transportation Text. The text messages falsely state that you owe a traffic fine and threaten you with penalties unless you click a suspicious payment link. Do not click on the link. The Iowa DOT will never solicit citizens to pay a toll fee or traffic violation through a text message. And if you will note, the phone number where the text message originates from, is outside of the United States.
