The Tennessee Department of Revenue has issued a cautionary alert to the public regarding a fraudulent text message scheme that is making the rounds. Individuals who receive these messages may find them seemingly legitimate, as they purport to be from the department and discuss potential refunds. However, recipients are strongly advised against clicking on any links contained within these texts. Such links lead to a counterfeit website designed to harvest personal payment information. The scam claims that by providing the requested details, victims will receive their refunds directly deposited into their bank accounts. Authorities are stressing the importance of recognizing this as a scam and recommend that anyone who receives such a message should promptly delete it and report it as spam to help protect others from falling victim to this deception.
