There is a new text message scam going around. First, thank you to everyone who has contacted their local court to ask about this! We would much rather you call us and ask than get scammed. Second, please let your friends and family know that this is fake.
Image of a very long SMS on a phone screen: Driver’s License Suspension Pending
[Alaska Court] Enforcement: Pursuant to Alaska Statute (AS) 28.15.181(g), if you fail to pay the outstanding fine for ticket AKTP240845312001 (violation date: February 15, 2026) that has been long overdue by Thursday, April 2, 2026, additional court and collection costs of $70 will be immediately incurred. This may result in a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hold being placed on your driver’s license and vehicle registration. The case will be referred to a collection agency and reported to a credit bureau.
FAILURE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER BY 11:59 PM TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN AUTOMATIC ENFORCEMENT MEASURES BEGINNING TOMORROW. We will not issue any further warnings.
Please visit the Alaska Court System or Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Online Services website before April 2, 2026 to settle your outstanding fine and avoid enforcement:
