California drivers warned by Rob Bonta about scam court notices
Heads up, California drivers: there's a new scam going around.
People are getting messages that look like official court notices about unpaid traffic or toll violations, pressuring you to pay up fast or face penalties.
Attorney General Rob Bonta is reminding everyone that real courts won't ask for payments by text, by phone, or by email.
If you get one of these messages, double-check using the official court website or phone number.
Delete suspicious messages, report to authorities
If you spot a message with sketchy links or QR codes about fines, just delete it. Don't click anything.
These scams are getting more convincing and can steal your information if you're not careful.
If you've already been tricked, report it to the FBI or your state attorney general and lock down your accounts right away.
As Bonta puts it, scammers keep changing their tricks, so staying alert is key.
