(Beaver Falls, Pa.) Several area fire companies are warning residents on their social media pages about a text message scam.
A post on the city of Beaver Falls Fire Department’s Facebook page says If you receive a text message asking to purchase our t-shirts, this is a scam. Our fire department is not selling our t-shirts via text message. Please do not click on the link in the message.
Similar posts appear on the Chippewa, Rochester, and Center Twp. Fire Department Facebook Pages.
Area residents have reported receiving the text messages advertising fire department T-shirts for sale.
The departments are once again advising you not to click on the link or give any personal information and delete the message. It is a scam.
