Kentucky State Police Post 15 is warning area residents about an ongoing text message scam.
State Police say these scams involve a text message claiming to be from state police regarding unpaid traffic citations. These messages threaten that the person receiving the message will be arrested if they don’t click a link to resolve the issue.
State Police say anyone receiving these messages should immediately delete them and avoid clicking any link contained within the message.
These type of scams have also been reported with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and other government and law enforcement agencies.
