In some instances, the scammers may identify themselves as law enforcement and make
similar demands. The scammers may be “spoofing” DRE telephone numbers to make the calls seem legitimate.
Do not wire them any money! DRE Staff will never contact you or demand payment without a formal action being filed against you and first sending you a formal document via certified mail. DRE will also never ask you to wire them money.
