The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles is warning about bogus Web sites that try to get credit card numbers from people seeking to register their vehicles or renew their drivers’ licenses.

The department says that if computer users use the search engine Google and type in "Vermont registration renewals" the bogus Web site can be the first link that appears.

DMV Commissioner Rob Ide says the bogus Web sites look authentic and will take the user through a series of screens that appear legitimate.

Officials did not say if any people lost money via the bogus Web site.

Officials says Internet users should make sure they are using the legitimate DMV Web site at www.dmv.state.vt.us.
