The Carlisle Police Department is warning residents about a recent surge in fake text messages purporting to be from PennDOT. These messages claim the recipient has an unresolved traffic issue, but they are entirely bogus and did not come from PennDOT. It's important to note that PennDOT would never reach out to individuals via text message. If you receive such a message, it's best to delete it immediately and alert your family and friends about this scam.
