Fraudulent “DMV” sites on the rise PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation is warning residents to be wary of sites that claim to offer Department of Motor Vehicle services. The only authorized Web site for DMV services is www.ServiceArizona.com.

These fraudulent Web sites illegally obtain customers’ payment and personal information and provide no DMV services.

They also are warning people of phone solicitations – ADOT and the DMV will never call trying to sell a product. Thirdparty businesses that offer motor vehicle division support do exist, but they do not operate online.
