Be alert for fake emails that look like they come from your local police or State Dept of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claiming you have a traffic violation. There is a scam that falsely states you have outstanding violations you need to either pay for or refute, and if you don't your license will be revoked. Remember that citations are never emailed with links in them, or sent out with an email attachment.
You can never be to cautious with people trying to scam and/or steal your information!
