HONOLULU – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Customer Services is alerting the public of the return of a scam attempt delivered via text message.
For the second time this month, a text message claiming “Important Notice from Hawaii MVD” states that a traffic ticket must be processed by a certain date and demands payment that requires a response to the text message.
The department’s Division of Motor Vehicles does not issue unsolicited text messages or requests for payments and personal information.
Residents are encouraged to block the sender immediately and delete the message without responding to it. The City also reminds everyone to remain vigilant against potential scams that may use similar tactics.
