The City of Hartford Fire Department reported on Sunday, April 17, that multiple members of the fire department and followers of the page have received a text about the sale of t-shirts for Hartford Fire or other fire departments.
Authorities provided a photo of one of the text messages.
"If you receive a message do not click or attempt to purchase anything, the link is likely a scam," the department said.
The Lebanon Volunteer Fire Department in New London County also reported that scammers have used its name in the texting scam.
"We have been made aware of a scam alert regarding the Lebanon Volunteer Fire Department," officials said. "The LVFD would never solicit T-Shirts in this way and please consider any and all messages similar to this as a scam! We will update if we have more information. Thank you."
