A text claiming to be from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, citing a ticket I didn’t get and penalties under a non-existent law. The kicker is that it is from an overseas cell phone number. I live in Virginia and worked in management for a state agency, and *I* don’t have a work-issued cell, but if I did, I promise it’d be some janky lowest bidder Straight Talk TracFone bullshit with an Ashland prefix.

I just got an urgent message from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles! How urgent? So urgent that whoever sent it clearly did so while on an overseas mission! I guess I’d better hurry up and send them the money…

I laugh when I get these obviously fake text messages. Guys, I know Apple isn’t sending me messages from a random outlook account.

If you're going to DM me out of the blue at least get the joke. Guessing their "script" doesn't prepare them. #nicetryscammer
