Scammers Use QR Codes in Fake Traffic Violation Texts for Phishing

Scammers are distributing fake "Notice of Default" traffic violation text messages impersonating state courts across the U.S. The messages pressure recipients to scan a QR code, which redirects to a phishing site demanding a $6.99 payment. The phishing site is designed to steal personal and financial information. The campaign targets individuals by exploiting urgency and official-seeming notifications. No specific dates, technical indicators, or CVE IDs were mentioned in the reported details.
