phishing

The Wyoming Department of Transportation has been alerted to a potential phishing scam involving driver’s licenses.

Scammers are trying to take advantage of the data breach with various email phishing scams, claiming to be from Equifax and asking people to provide personal information.

If you get a text message asking you to validate your driver license with the Wyoming Department of Transportation, don't fall for it.

Taxpayers are encouraged not to engage potential scammers online or on the phone.

IRS spokeswoman Karen Connelly said identity theft may not have the drama of robbery, but the financial pain can be greater.
