Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s office is warning the public about new email and text scams.
The scams are targeting Illinoisans…and include unsolicited text and email messages claiming to be from the Secretary of State. Spokesperson Beth Kaufman says they are bogus.
“If you get a text message from our office do not click on it, open it and just delete it. The Secretary of State’s office never requests personal identification from people.”
The scam messages mention pending DMV fees or ask to update your information. Kaufman says they are working with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office on the matter.
