Officials are warning the public about a new scam message that falsely claims to suspend licenses or send individuals to debt collectors. The message is a scam and should be deleted immediately, authorities said.

Recipients are urged not to click any links or send payments in response to the message. Experts say scammers often use such tactics to steal personal information or money.

Authorities advise verifying any suspicious messages with official sources and reporting scams to local law enforcement or consumer protection agencies.
