Massachusetts warns about new text message scam

Authorities in Hampden County, Massachusetts, have issued a warning about a new text message scam. Scammers are sending messages claiming the recipient is under investigation and demanding a callback to avoid "legal action." These messages may include fake case numbers and links that can install malware. The Sheriff’s Office advises that legitimate law enforcement will never demand money or conduct official business through calls, texts, or emails. Recipients are urged to delete these messages and report them. The warning highlights the need for caution, especially among older or less tech-savvy individuals who may feel threatened by such communications.
