FFG PD Warns of Text Message Scam

By Peg Broadcasting News Jan 19, 2024 | 11:01 AM

The Fairfield Glade Police Department is warning everyone to be very cautious BEFORE they open ANY text messages.  One such scam is a text that claims to be from the United States Postal Service that says your package has arrived at the warehouse and cannot be delivered.  The fake text asks the victim to confirm their address with further instructions. This Is A Scam! And there are hundreds of other such text scams. If you get a text from anyone you do not know, even if it appears to be from a local number, Do Not Open.  If you get a text instructing you to confirm, open a browser or anything of the kind, the Fairfield Glade Police Department says you should delete it and block the sender. Do not share any personal information with them or reply. And PLEASE do not follow the link!!
