Facebook Text Is Likely A Scam

(KAIR)--If you receive a suspicious text message claiming to originate from Facebook, don't click on the link that comes with it.

Several Atchison area residents, in Facebook posts, have shared screenshots of the dubious text, which claims their Facebook account will be shut down unless they agree to what the text calls new terms and conditions. The message includes a link intended for the recipient to click.

Although Facebook hasn't directly commented on the specific text, the company says such messages should be considered a scam and reported.

It's likely the text is being sent in an attempt to hack personal accounts or to gain some other personal information.
