Scam Alert

The Reno Police Department is warning of a new text scam going around.

The scam text purports to be from the Nevada DMV or a local law enforcement agency and tells people they need to pay a delinquent toll fee, according to a post on Facebook by the RPD.

The text also threatens the assessment of a late fee if people do not click on the link to pay.

Reno Police advise people never to click any links or respond to phone calls regarding payment or fines.

If you have concerns, please look up the phone number for the agency directly and contact them.
