We have received reports of scam text messages to be from the DOC Victim Services Unit. The message may seem legitimate, with identifying information such as locations, names, and crimes.
The text directs recipients to access a case file and submit a statement by clicking a link – and that failure to respond may result in changes to victim protection terms, supervised release boundaries, or community restrictions. If you receive one of these scam messages, do not respond, click on the link, or provide any information.
If you have questions or concerns about the legitimacy of a text message received from DOC, please contact DOC Victim Services at 800-322-2201 or docvictimservices@doc1.wa.gov.
