Residents are urged to stay alert for a text message scam currently circulating that falsely claims to involve parking violations connected to the State Court of Fulton County.

The fraudulent message instructs recipients to click a link that appears to be associated with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to submit payment. Officials confirm that this link is not legitimate and is part of an active scam. The State Court of Fulton County did not send these messages, and DDS has verified that the payment link is fraudulent.
What You Should Do
Do not click the link.Do not provide personal or financial information.Delete the message immediately if you receive it.
