🚫 Don’t Fall for This Text Message Scam! 🚫

If you have received a text or email similar to the pictured one in this photo (below) over the past few days, please ignore it and delete it from your phone. This is just another scam, asking you for money for a fraudulent charge or violation. 👎

You don't need to report it to law enforcement unless you have paid or believe they have your contact information. If you receive a text and you’re still not sure if it's fraudulent, please get in touch with your local law enforcement agency for further clarification, if needed. 🚔

Again, Law Enforcement agencies and other governmental entities, will not solicit payment via text messages, emails, or links. 🤚

Always reach out to the source, or organization when you receive a concerning text. Contact the company directly for clarification. This can help to alleviate you from being victimized.
