EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) — The East Lansing Police Department is issuing a warning regarding certain text message scams circulating recently.
The first one – claims you missed jury duty. You get a text saying you need to click a link or make payments to avoid serious penalties.
Another phony text – you owe money for a toll road. Scammers ask you to click a link and pay up.
The police advise against clicking on dubious links. Instead, verify genuine contact numbers independently and refrain from making payments over the phone unless you have prior familiarity with the individual or company.
