The Lee County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents about a scam text message falsely claiming to be a “Final Notice — Court Enforcement Action” for unpaid traffic violations.
Officials say the message is designed to look legitimate and create a sense of urgency, pressuring recipients to act quickly. The sheriff’s office stresses that law enforcement and courts do not send violation notices or request payments through text messages.
Residents are urged not to click on any links, scan QR codes, or share personal or financial information if they receive one of these messages. Instead, anyone with concerns about a citation should contact their local court or law enforcement agency directly using verified contact information.
