Beware of fake text messages posing as state agencies aiming to get your information

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Scam texts pretending to be from state agencies trying to get your social security number and driver's license information continue to target consumers.

One man who has a Florida driver's license said he got one of these texts asking for his Illinois driver's license info.

Most of the texts or emails are made to look like they coming from the Secretary of State's Office or the Illinois Department of Transportation. Some of the links even lead to fake websites, posing as state agencies.

Remember, none of those real agencies send text messages or emails requesting information.
