BBB Says Beware Of Election Day Scam Texts

It's horrible that there even needs to be a warning, but scammers gonna scam... and they'll use every opportunity out there.

With Election Day coming up on Tuesday, the Better Business Bureau is warning people about potential scams. Scammers are sending out fake political texts, emails, and calls to trick people into giving out personal info. Since many of us have been inundated with actual texts, these scammy ones could blend right in. Always remember, that if someone asks you for personal information: do not give it!

The BBB says never share personal details with unsolicited messages and to be cautious of links. Also, watch out for scams like “text your vote” or “register by phone.” It’s all about staying alert and protecting our info. Careful out there folks... and don't forget to vote.
