Three Northeast Ohio fire departments report their residents are receiving bogus text message offers for fake discounts on fire department tee-shirts.
AVON LAKE, Ohio — Three Northeast Ohio fire departments report their residents are receiving bogus text message offers for fake discounts on fire department t-shirts. Fire officials told News 5 that the text offers contain a link that illegally attempts to take the money and the personal account information of unsuspecting consumers.
“To obtain data from personal devices, or somebody would go as far as putting their financial information in there,” Betsa added."If something were to happen to one of our residents that would make me even more angry.” “I think they started with 50 or 100 t-shirts, I can’t remember which, sold out in a day, day-and-a-half, so we ordered another 100 of these," Scarbrough said."On Nov. 15th we saw this on Facebook, somebody put out there Elyria Township is selling tee-shirts, so we immediately put something out on Facebook saying this is a scam, don’t do that, we’re not selling tee-shirts. It angers me, it desperately angers me.
