🚨 URGENT WARNING: FBI Urges 150 Million iPhone Users To Delete This Dangerous Text Message Right Away

Imagine getting a random text on your iPhone saying you owe money for a toll you don’t even remember taking.

It looks official — like it’s from your local DMV. It even threatens jail time or suspension of your driver’s license if you don’t pay right away.

Sounds scary, right?

That’s exactly what scammers want you to feel. And now, the FBI is sounding the alarm. They want every iPhone (and Android) user in America — especially the 150 million iPhone owners — to know the truth:

Delete these texts IMMEDIATELY. Do not click. Do not reply.

🔥 What’s Going On?

A dangerous new scam is spreading like wildfire across the U.S.

Fake text messages claiming to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or similar agencies are blowing up people's phones.

These messages often say you haven’t paid a toll or fine — and if you don’t handle it right now, your license could be suspended or you could even face jail.

Let’s be super clear:

It’s all fake.

No real DMV or government agency is sending those messages.

"These scam texts lead to phishing websites designed to steal people's credit card information and make unauthorized charges." Guardio said, according to Forbes.

🧠 How The Scam Works

These scammers are smart.

They know how to make their texts look official and urgent, using real-looking logos, names of state departments, and threatening language like:

“Pay your overdue toll or your license will be suspended.”

“You have unpaid fines. Jail time may follow if not resolved.”

They even include a link that looks harmless, but one tap and you could be in serious trouble.

According to the FBI, clicking that link can install malware on your phone. Malware is a type of software that secretly steals your personal info — things like:

• Your credit card numbers
• Passwords to your accounts
• Access to your payment apps (Venmo, Apple Pay, etc.)

Sometimes, you don’t even realize it’s happening. It runs quietly in the background while the scammers steal your data.

🚫 What NOT To Do

If you get one of these sketchy texts:

• Do NOT click the link.
• Do NOT reply.
• Do NOT open any attachments.
• Do NOT try to “verify” anything.
• Just delete the message. Immediately.

Even if you’re curious or unsure, do not risk it. These messages are designed to trick you. Clicking the link or responding in any way could give hackers access to your phone.

👮‍♂️ What Officials Are Saying

The warning isn’t just coming from the FBI.

Multiple police departments across the country are urging people to stay alert. And now, FBI Special Agent David Palmer has made it crystal clear:

“These messages can install malware and steal your data without you knowing. If it has a suspicious link — just delete it.”

And Mark J. F. Schroeder, DMV Commissioner, said this:

“The DMV will never text you asking for personal info like credit card numbers or Social Security numbers. Ever.”

🗺️ Where It’s Happening

This isn’t just in one or two cities — these scam texts are nationwide.

They’ve been reported in:

• New York
• California
• Florida
• Texas
• Tennessee
• Illinois
• Georgia
• Washington D.C.

And the list keeps growing.

💥 What To Do If You Already Clicked

If you’ve already clicked the link or entered personal information, here’s what you need to do right now:

1. Change your passwords immediately — especially for banking and email.
2. Contact your bank or credit card company to monitor for fraudulent activity.
3. Install trusted antivirus software on your phone.
4. Report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.

Don’t panic — but do act quickly. The sooner you take action, the safer your information will be.

✅ How To Stay Safe

Scams like these are becoming more and more common. Here’s how to protect yourself moving forward:

• Never trust a random text with a link, even if it looks legit.
• Don’t share personal information over text or email.
• Enable two-factor authentication on your important accounts.
• Keep your phone software updated to block malware.

⚠️ Bottom Line

If you get a text saying you owe a toll, fine, or anything urgent — and it includes a suspicious link — DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.

This is one of the fastest-growing scams in America right now. The FBI, state officials, and cybersecurity experts are all urging people to stay alert.

Tell your friends. Warn your family. Share this information.

You could save someone from having their identity stolen.
