Description

Family member received a letter, then a text from "CA DMV" (full name), with No Description of Where or How Much the 'toll' was, and when that family member looked at where they were 'WHEN supposedly' (no location; no year, etc.) the 'violation occurred,' (NO Date, No time, No Year, No Location & they frequently fly to that State), they were AT HOME in ANOTHER STATE. The next 'text' came from a 'collection agency', "unifin". As such,when I attempted to look at the 'website', my Computer Labeled it a "SCAM" (& that family member had also heard about such a 'SCAM', so threw away the letter & did not respond to the 'scam'), I will not 'proceed' to the website. When in CA the family members Lease Cars, never their personal vehicle, always making sure such 'fees' will be paid by the Leasing Company. Please confirm this is most likely a SCAM, or what the family member can do when back in that State to alleviate worries about such Threats as spoken about in the State of CA: ie. credit rating. There is nothing about how much the 'debt' is, either, so the threats appear as harrassment. Thank you for your help.
