Ticket text scam

By John Maczko Nov 14, 2025 | 6:34 AM

Scammers are ramping up their efforts in a text message designed to scare you into opening your wallet.  The Better Business Bureau says there’s been a recent uptick in texts showing up on phones regarding an unpaid ticket.  The message claims to be from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and alerts drivers about a final notice.  It says there’s an unresolved traffic violation associated with your account and according to their records it hasn’t been paid.
