🚨 **SCAM ALERT: THIS TEXT IS A TRICK!** 📱🚨

Have you ever received a text saying there was a huge charge on your account and you needed to call immediately? **DON’T PANIC — and don’t call the number in the message!**

Cybercriminals are using a scam known as **smishing (text message phishing)** to trick people into giving up their personal and financial information.

📲 One recent scam claims to be from Apple Pay account services and says an **$8,250 charge** was made to your account. The message threatens that another charge will happen within minutes unless you call the provided number.

⚠️ **That urgency is part of the scam!** If you call, the scammer may pretend to be Apple Support and ask for your credit card number, email address, or other personal information.

🛡️ **Protect yourself:**
• Never call a phone number provided in a suspicious text.
• Don't click links in unexpected messages.
• Check your account by opening your bank or Apple app directly.
• Never provide banking or personal information to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
• Take a moment to STOP, THINK, and VERIFY before acting.

Remember: **Scammers want you to react quickly. Taking a few extra minutes to verify could save you thousands of dollars.**

👉 **When in doubt, don’t click, don’t call, and don’t share your information.**

🇺🇸 Never Forget — September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We honor the nearly 3,000 innocent people who never made it home, and we remember the brave first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten.

As members of law enforcement, we are reminded of the selflessness and commitment shown by our brothers and sisters who answered the call that day.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Always Remembered. Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸
