Text message scams

Text message scams may say you need to do something like:

• renew your driver licence, vehicle licence (rego) or vehicle registration
• renew within the next 24 hours
• pay your overdue tolls or other bills
• take action on a safety camera offence, speeding ticket or traffic ticket.
