Scam Text Alert! This one's going around again...

Scam texts are becoming more convincing than ever, but don’t be fooled. If you receive a suspicious message with a link, don’t click it. Scammers often pose as official agencies like the DMV or law enforcement to trick you into giving up personal information.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

Never click on unknown links in texts or emails.

Verify through official sources like your local DMV office or government website. (they end in Dot Gov)

Check with trusted agencies like the Cortez Police Department and follow legitimate Facebook pages.

If something feels off, it probably is. A few extra minutes of checking can save you hours of frustration and potential identity theft.
