Giles Officials Warn of Motor Vehicle Scams

Officials in Giles and other surrounding counties are urging residents to stay alert for scam calls or text messages.  Several are currently circulating, including claims that you have a parking violation, and that you have a toll road violation.  Many are contacted via text message and will receive some sort of official-looking document.  These are attempts to trick people into sending money they do not owe.  Should you be contacted in a similar manner, contact your local law enforcement agency to report the matter and verify whether or not it might be valid.
