Fraud Alert: Scam Text Messages Claiming DMV Penalties -

We have been made aware of fraudulent text messages being sent to individuals claiming to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the court system. These messages often state that the recipient owes penalties or fees related to traffic violations or DMV infractions and may include a link or phone number to resolve the matter. 

Take these steps to reduce the chances of falling victim to a text message scam:

  • Never respond to unsolicited or suspicious texts — If you receive a message asking for personal or financial information, do not reply.
  • Verify the source — If you are unsure, always contact the DMV through official channels.
  • Call the DMV if you have concerns — The DMV customer service team is available to help you at 800-777-0133.

Global Assets Liens & Foreclosures LLC vs River City Phoenix et al

Case Number

24CV06159

Case Type

Civil Law & Motion

Hearing Date / Time

Fri, 02/28/2025 - 10:00

Nature of Proceedings

8 Right to Attach

Tentative Ruling

Plaintiff Global Assets Liens & Foreclosures, LLC, has filed an application for right to attach order against eight of the defendants in this action, setting the hearing on each of the applications for February 28, 2025. On February 5, 2025, defendant MWG Holdings Group, Inc. filed a motion to transfer venue of the action to Sacramento County, on the basis that plaintiff’s complaint has admitted that the principal place of business for each defendant is in Sacramento, California. The hearing on that motion has been set for April 25, 2025.

The filing of a motion to transfer venue ordinarily suspends the jurisdiction of the court and stays any other motion or proceeding in the court in which it is filed, while the motion for transfer of venue is pending.

As a result, the Court will continue the hearings on the applications for right to attach orders to April 25, 2025. Should the motion for transfer of venue be granted, the applications will properly be determined by the Sacramento Superior Court following the transfer of the action. In the event that the motion for transfer of venue is denied, the Court will, at that time, reset the hearings on the applications for right to attach orders to a future date which will permit defendants an adequate opportunity to oppose the applications.
