Law enforcement in Hampden County, Massachusetts, has issued warnings about a scam text targeting iPhone users. The message claims an 'investigation is being finalized' against the recipient, urging immediate contact to avoid 'further legal action.' It includes a fake case number and a link that may install malware, putting personal information at risk. Sheriff Nick Cocchi emphasized that scammers aim to incite panic. Users are advised to ignore such messages and report them, as legitimate agencies will never demand money or resolution through texts or calls.
"These scammers want to scare people into acting before thinking," Sheriff Nick Cocchi said in a statement.
"Law enforcement will never call, text or email to demand money, resolve a warrant, or conduct official business. If you receive a message like this, do not engage - delete it and report it," Cocchi said.
