Scam Alert: Fake texts from Oklahoma DMV

Screenshots showing examples of a fake Oklahoma DMV text message scam.

The Tulsa Police Department has received many reports about a text message scam targeting citizens.


The message claims to be from the "Oklahoma Department of Vehicles (DMV)" and threatens to suspend your driver's license over unpaid tickets.


FYI, it actually says DMV after Oklahoma Department of Vehicles. Not a typo.

THIS IS A SCAM. The "Oklahoma Department of Vehicles" is not a real agency.


Please keep in mind:

  • Legitimate agencies like Oklahoma DPS will never send text messages demanding payment or threatening license suspension

  • DO NOT click any links or provide personal or financial information

  • Report scam messages to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov

  • If you’re unsure about your license or ticket status, visit oklahoma.gov/dps

  • Please stay vigilant and always verify before taking action.
