It appears to be that time of year again for scams such as phony emails, phony text, and phone calls all trying to get money out of you for unpaid fees, late payments or saying they have a warrant for your arrest if payment is not made. Please be cautious when opening emails and giving any personal information out.
Below is an example of a fake text!!!
