THATCHER — Residents in Graham, Greenlee and Cochise counties are being warned of a new scam coming via text message.
The text contains an image of a “collection notice” from the state of Arizona, stating it is an “official legal enforcement order.”
The supposed violation is a failure to pay a toll, despite Arizona having no toll roads, bridges or tunnels.
The recipient is directed to scan a QR code to “remit Jull (sp) payment and confern (sp) compliance immediately.”
“If you receive a notice like this, know it is a scam,” Greenlee County Sheriff Eric Ellison said in a posting to social media.
“Don’t become a victim to this scam,” Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said.
