KTYC warns of text scam

WQXE News 0 Comments

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is warning residents to be wary of an ongoing scam attempt. 

The KYTC says fraudulent text messages from scammers impersonating state agencies have been sent out with suspicious links meant to resemble Kentucky government agency websites.

The KYTC says: “The scam messages warn customers of unpaid traffic tickets and say that a ‘DMV violation’ will be reported and ‘driving privileges’ will be suspended if payment is not sent immediately.”

The KYTC does not collect traffic ticket fees and does not notify customers of traffic violations. If you receive one of these texts, do not click the link.

The KYTC says if you have provided any personal information, you should contact your bank immediately. Scams may be reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. Scams may also be reported to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office at ag.ky.gov, and you can forward scam texts to 7726 to alert your mobile provider.

A Nelson County paramedic has died from injuries he sustained in a crash in Barren County.

Kentucky State Police Post Three says 41-year-old Wesley England of Hardyville died Monday at TriStar Skyline Medical Center.

According to KSP Post Three, at just after noon on May 23 troopers responded to an injury collision on the 500 block of Broadway Street in Cave City. The preliminary investigation indicates that England was operating a truck and was stopped at a traffic light at Broadway Street and U.S. 31W. England’s vehicle then collided with the rear end of a vehicle that was also stopped at the light, pushing it through the intersection. England’s truck continued to accelerate and then collided with an unoccupied vehicle and a light pole.

England was airlifted from the scene to the medical center, where he died 10 days later. The operator of the initial vehicle England’s collided with, Frances Laird of Cave City, was transported to Caverna Medical Center for treatment of injuries.

Nelson County EMS said in a Facebook post: “Wesley wore many hats throughout his remarkable career—serving as a dedicated critical care paramedic, firefighter, and police officer. His unwavering commitment to the emergency services touched countless lives across our communities and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We extend our deepest gratitude for Wesley’s years of service and sacrifice.”

The KSP’s investigation is ongoing.
