Check out this absolute garbage sent to our phone. 🚩
Apparently, the "Missouri DOR" is texting people from a Philippines area code (+63) now? Give me a break. These scammers are out here trying to ruin people's day with fake threats about license suspensions and "speeding citations."
This grates us because we’re honest with you about your brakes, your engines, and your oil changes. Being honest also means calling out this kind of bottom-feeding behavior when we see it.
People please:
The DOR isn't sliding into your DMs to ask for money.
That .shop link is about as legitimate as muffler bearings, even though they tried to hide it after ".gov(nkf)"
If you actually had a ticket, you’d either get an introduction to one of Missouri's finest, or get a nice, annoying letter in your physical mailbox, not a text from a bot.
Don't click the link. Don't give them a dime. Just hit delete and get back to enjoying your week.
If you’re actually worried about your car or your record, just come by Cintech Automotive Repair and talk to us. We’ll keep your car running right and make sure you aren't getting played.
Stay safe and stay smart, St. Charles. ✌️
