The Greene County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public about a reoccurring phone scam.

Sheriff Jack Williams tells Raccoon Valley Radio residents have received a text message that wants an individual to purchase a t-shirt for a specifically named local fire department within Greene County. There’s a link in the text message wanting you to click on it to purchase the t-shirt. 

Williams says this is a scam and that no local fire department is connected to it. He suggests if you receive this kind of text message, to not click the link because if you do the scammers can access your personal information that might be on your phone. He advises to instead just delete the text entirely.
