02/14/21 Driver's License Verification Scam

By Bruce Dayno, Chief of Police

A few residents have reported receiving emails or texts from the Illinois Secretary of State or the DMV (Illinois does not have a DMV) requesting they go to a link to update driver’s license information.  These messages are from scammers attempting to get social security and other personal information for identity theft use.

If you have received one of these messages you do not need to make a police report if you did not respond. If you responded with personal information, please call Riverwoods Police Dispatch at 847-945-1820 to file an identity theft report.
