Mass. DA warns of text-message scam

WORCESTER (AP) -- Authorities in Massachusetts are warning consumers to use caution if they get a text message that seems too good to be true.


But the text is from scammers seeking credit card information. The district attorney says text recipients are directed to a website that looks connected to the electronics retailer, but isn't. The website asks consumers to provide their credit card info to collect the prize. Authorities say the scam is widespread and recently made its way to Worcester County.

State police detectives are investigating, and authorities advise people who get such a text to report the scam to their cellphone carrier.
