Butler police warn about new text scam

BUTLER (KDKA) — The Butler County Sheriff's Office is warning about a new text scam.

It involves receiving a weird text from someone claiming to be with the postal service or FedEx.

Investigators tell Butler Radio that scammers are sending text messages, claiming they have a package that can't be delivered until they update their personal information.

The text has a link to a website that looks like the Postal Service's website.

But investigators say it is bogus.

And once you click that link, scammers are able to steal your data.
