The Real ID deadline is here to fly domestically, but scammers are taking advantage of the rush to the DMV.

Effective last week, domestic flyers must have a Real ID or a passport to fly domestically, leading to a surge at the DMV. Don O'Brien, a Better Business Bureau scam investigator, says scammers are waiting to take advantage of the rush.

The B-B-B urges those seeking a Real ID to obtain one only at a DMV. Never provide financial information, a social security number, or an address to an unknown site on the web.
