Residents have reported receiving telephone calls that their driving privileges are in jeopardy and that fees must be paid in order to keep their driving privileges. The caller asks for personal information and then directs money to be sent to a California address. Some calls appear to be spoofing the phone number for the NDDOT.<\/p>\n<p>The NDDOT does NOT make this type of phone call about driving privileges. This is a scam, designed to trick the recipient into giving out information to a scam artist. The NDDOT urges North Dakotans to hang up on this type of phone calls. Residents who have questions about their driver\u2019s license or these calls should contact the NDDOT at (701) 328-2601 or email their questions to the NDDOT email address: <a href=\"mailto:dot@nd.gov\">dot@nd.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p>General information about common consumer scams is available on the Attorney General\u2019s website, at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ag.nd.gov\/CPAT\/CommonScams.htm\">http:\/\/www.ag.nd.gov\/CPAT\/CommonScams.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jul 11, 2013\u00a0 &#8212;\u00a0 The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is alerting North Dakota residents about fraudulent telephone calls claiming to be from representatives of the driver\u2019s license division.
