Do Not Click Links, Do Not Respond, Delete the Message
MONTGOMERY – The Alabama Department of Revenue has received reports of fraudulent text messages looking to collect unpaid tolls. These messages may ask users to click a link that begins as “https://mydmv.alabama…”, although there may be several different variations of this link depending on the text message received. DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK.
ALDOR does not collect tolls, and the actual link to ALDOR’s MyDMV service is https://mydmv.revenue.alabama.gov/TAP/_/. ALDOR does not contact taxpayers through text messages, so if you receive any sort of message that looks like this one, do not click any included links, do not respond to the message, and delete the message immediately.
If you do happen to click the link, you may be taken to a site that looks very much like ALDOR’s legitimate MyDMV site. If you navigate through the fraudulent site, you may even notice that many of the buttons and links will take you to legitimate pages.
HOWEVER, buttons marked as “pay” buttons WILL NOT take you to ALDOR’s legitimate pay functions, but rather to the wrongdoers’ fake pay options, where they will gather your personal and financial information to steal your money or commit other illegal and harmful acts.
Remember – ALDOR does NOT collect tolls.
Protect your information. NEVER give personal details and financial information away if you don’t know for sure who you are giving it to.
