Title VI

Title VI, one section among eleven other titles contained within the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is a federal law providing that:

"No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

42 U.S.C. 2000d Subsequent federal legislation has led to further protections under Title VI based upon age, gender, and disability, whether mental or physical.

Beware of Scams: Fraudulent Messages Targeting Vermont Drivers

Beware of Scams: Fraudulent Messages Targeting Vermont Drivers

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is warning residents about an increase in scam messages falsely claiming that drivers are at risk of license suspension if they do not pay outstanding tolls. These deceptive messages, often sent via text, email, or phone calls, attempt to pressure individuals into making payments to fraudulent sources.

How the Scam Works

Scammers send messages posing as the DMV or other official agencies, stating that the recipient must pay overdue toll fees immediately to avoid license suspension. They may provide a fraudulent link or phone number to collect payments or personal information.

What You Should Do

  • Do not click links or provide personal information if you receive an unexpected message about toll payments.

  • Verify directly with the DMV by contacting the Information Unit at DMV.InformationUnit@vermont.gov

  • Ignore and report suspicious messages to local authorities or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) atwww.ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

How to Stay Safe

  • The Vermont DMV does not send unsolicited messages demanding immediate payment.

  • Official DMV notices come via mail or direct communication from verified sources.

  • If you are unsure about a toll payment status, check directly with your toll service provider before taking any action.

The Vermont DMV urges all residents to stay vigilant and help spread awareness of this scam. Protect yourself and others by recognizing fraudulent messages and reporting them to the appropriate authorities.
