INDIANA — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is issuing an urgent warning to residents regarding a new wave of highly sophisticated text message scams. The fraudulent messages are designed to closely mimic the BMV’s mobile website and even improperly cite Indiana Code.
The BMV urges the public to ignore these messages, avoid clicking on any links, and delete them immediately.
In the latest iteration of this scam, cybercriminals have become more adept at targeting Hoosiers by replacing generic terms like “DMV” (Department of Motor Vehicles) with the correct state agency name, “BMV.”
Furthermore, the following links lead to fake websites that mimic the official Indiana BMV site’s color schemes and layouts, making them difficult to distinguish from legitimate communications.
