Ooo, a (bad) scam!

I got a text from `wa . govfog . dev/mydmv` letting me know I owed $6.99 for "unsettled tolls".

That's odd...I don't have a car registered in my name 🤷🏼‍♀️

"""
WASHINGTON DOL COMPLIANCE NOTICE: Outstanding traffic citation requires payment by 04/01/26. Penalties include permanent record, registration termination, 30-day suspension & 35% surcharge. Pay now: [fake portal link]
"""

None of the buttons on the site work, and the mobile formatting is bad, but I bet the payment button works.

It would be a shame if their web host and payment processor banned them and they got busted for impersonating a government agency.

Per official documents reviewed by Forbes, the Trump Organization filed an application w/the #DoL to recruit 36 foreign agricultural workers - now at a lower cost due to a recent regulatory change implemented by his administration - for its #Virginia vineyard.

Hm.

They seem to have mistranslated the original German.

My daughter, an intern at Disney, visited the Glendale campus. She sent me this pic of what was saved from when they remodeled. She says it's an artifact 🤣... Great memories! #disney #dol #disneyonline #disneyinteractive #gamedev ❤️

This is the full text of the report exposing how ICE is using license plate data to detain people. Please blow it up:

And a little spoiler, YES even Washington state agencies and institutions are helping ICE detain ppl here, which is against our state laws.

So, apparently the Washington Department of Licensing has decided to stop sending vehicle tab renewal notices via US Mail, opting drivers into "paperless" renewal notification without direct notification or consent.

They don't have an email address for me, so you can imagine how well the "paperless" thing has worked out.

To their credit, they did post a notice a few layers deep in their website, since they know everyone checks the DOL website for any policy changes at least once a week, right?
