The phish narrative arrives as an urgent government-impersonating notice: \"You have an unpaid traffic citation. Pay within 72 hours at the link below to avoid license suspension,\" or \"Your vehicle was cited for a moving violation. Scan the QR code to pay the fine before your court appearance.\" Real DMV and toll-authority notices originate from .gov domains and are sent as physical mail or to an email address the driver registered — unsolicited email fine notices with urgent QR codes are not a legitimate government notification pattern. The signal fires when: (1) body references a traffic violation / citation / DMV / toll authority AND (2) a pay-now / scan-QR / payment CTA is present AND (3) urgency framing (72-hour window, license suspension, court appearance) is present AND (4) sender is NOT from a .gov domain.
