MoDOT issues alert about scam texts

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Missouri Department of Transportation issued an alert about scam texts circulating in the state regarding owed tolls or traffic violations.
In a Facebook post, MoDOT said it will never solicit anyone to pay a toll or traffic violation fee, not to click any links and to delete and report the texts.

Texts can be reported by forwarding the message to 7726 (SPAM) from your mobile device. If that's not possible, you can also report it at http://ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
