Scam texts claim people have been drafted

Posted
The United States Army Recruiting Command is warning Americans about a new scam appearing in text messages across the country. These messages state a military draft is occurring and the recipient must report for duty or face legal and financial consequences.
 
The texts may or may not include a number to call, but usually include the address to a nearby recruiting station.
 
According to the Hendry County Sheriff's Office,  there are no reports about what happens when you contact the number, but it’s advised you avoid it. Most likely, it’ll be someone out to extort money from you.
