843 - Text scams are rising

Have you received a suspicious text message recently claiming to be from a well-known company, such as USPS?

You're not alone.

Text scams are on the rise, and scammers are becoming more sophisticated in their tactics. It's important to stay vigilant and protect yourself from falling victim to these scams.

One common tactic is to send a text message that appears to be from a legitimate company, asking you to click on a link or provide personal information.

However, clicking on these links can lead to malware being installed on your device or your personal information being stolen.

To protect yourself, and those you love, be wary of any text messages that ask for personal information or include suspicious links. Educate your parent, grandparents and others who may not be as savvy as you.

If you're unsure whether a message is legitimate, contact the company directly through their official website or customer service number.
