It has come to our attention that some libraries partnering with Driving-Tests.org have received misleading emails from individuals falsely implying affiliation with our organization. These emails typically request librarians to update or change the existing links to Driving-Tests.org on their library websites, redirecting visitors to unauthorized websites.

How to recognize these emails:

  • They claim or imply association with Driving-Tests.org without clearly identifying themselves, and are often signed by someone named Mary Patterson.

  • They ask you to replace your existing library-specific Driving-Tests.org link with another URL (often mentioning "dmv-permit-test.com" or similar domains).

  • They use vague or misleading language, like "Thanks for sharing Driving-Tests.org," suggesting a false affiliation.

How to respond if you receive such an email:

  • Do not change your existing links to Driving-Tests.org without verifying the request directly with us.

  • Report suspicious emails to us by forwarding them to [email protected].

Important Reminder:

  • Our official website is Driving-Tests.org.

  • We will always clearly identify ourselves, communicating from official Driving-Tests.org email addresses.

If you're unsure about any communication related to your library's Driving-Tests.org program, please reach out directly to us at [email protected].

Thank you for your vigilance and continued partnership!
