The Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) is warning residents about fraudulent text messages claiming to collect unpaid tolls.

In a news release sent out on Monday, ALDOR warns of the suspicious text messages. The scam texts contain links beginning with “https://mydmv.alabama...” and may vary slightly depending on the message. ALDOR advises recipients not to click these links.

The official link to ALDOR’s MyDMV service is https://mydmv.revenue.alabama.gov/TAP/_/, and it is important to note that ALDOR does not collect tolls. Additionally, the department does not communicate with taxpayers via text messages.

If you receive a text claiming to be from ALDOR, do not respond to the message or click on any included links. The department urges you to delete the message immediately.

In cases where individuals accidentally click on the fraudulent link, they may be directed to a website that mimics ALDOR’s legitimate MyDMV site. Despite its appearance, this fraudulent site is designed to deceive users. While many of the buttons and links on the site may appear legitimate, those marked as “pay” will not connect you to ALDOR’s real payment system. Instead, they lead to fake payment options where cybercriminals can steal personal and financial information.
