The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles says many customers are receiving scam emails from a group claiming to be from the “Department of Transportation,” asking them to click on a link to pay a fine for a driving violation.
The DMV says the emails use the address “notice@penalty-gov-us.”.
Commissioner Wayne Goodwin says the DMV or NCDOT will never email customers about driving records, driving history, or notices to pay fines, and all such notifications would be on official letterhead or forms sent through regular mail.
