We are receiving many calls from individuals who received a text from the "State of Colorado - In the District of Colorado - For Denver County - Traffic Division" informing the recipient that they have been found delinquent and in default for some undefined traffic violation. The notice includes a QR code that encourages the recipient to scan to pay. THIS IS A SCAM. If you have received any such notice, disregard it, delete it, block the number, and DO NOT SCAN THE QR Code. The United States District Court for the District of Colorado will never send a text seeking an individual to pay any sum of money.
