The Patterson Police Department is alerting residents about an increase in phishing text messages. These texts may appear to come from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) and often demand personal information or payments through external links. The police emphasize that the Louisiana OMV will not contact individuals via text for such purposes. Residents are advised to protect themselves by not clicking on any links or providing personal data. Additionally, they should use the ‘Report Junk’ or ‘Report Spam’ feature on their phones and delete any suspicious messages immediately.
