SCAMS: Beware 'legal' traps

When renewing an auto or RV registration online, be sure to type in the entire “www.itd.idaho.gov/dmv” URL. The usual shortcut methods will get you to a site that collects personal information, then charges $20 for a useless document. If you read all the text on the attractively designed page, it explains what they sell, so it’s probably legal. Save time and money by entering the full itd.idaho.gov/dmv address.
