The state of Kentucky is currently warning its citizens of scam text messages targeting victims of the recent flooding. The texts are said to come from someone impersonating the State Transportation Cabinet.

 

The messages sent to the victims are links, asking for them to submit their personal information in relation to obtaining a new license or registration.

 

While the Transportation Cabinet does occasionally text people about licensing, they will never ask you for any personal information.

 

If you or someone you know has been targeted by a scam message, you are urged to visit the Kentucky Attorney General’s website at ag.ky.gov for guidance about potential identity theft.
