Indiana State Police at the Jasper Post are warning residents about a new scam involving fake traffic violation notices being sent via text message.
Officials say the messages may appear to be from a court and include a QR code claiming to allow payment of fines or tolls.
However, authorities stress the notices are fraudulent and should be ignored.
Residents are urged not to scan any QR codes or provide personal information.
Anyone who receives the message should delete it immediately.
