Inform the DMV about this so they know there is a scam using them.

I once got a call from some scammer who was demanding that I call back to a different number with payment for some 'judgement' against me. The phone number on my screen was on digit off from the county court's. At the time I happened to be right outside the county building and offered to go in and handle it but the guy was emphatic that I not do that.

So I told him that I knew it was a scam and he could go fuck himself and ended the call. Then I got out of my car and went in to the county court clerk's office and showed them the number, told them what happened and they were pissed. I don't know what they did about it but they were thankful I informed them of the scam.

Should probably let them know.
