They are sending texts like this :
The scammers claim that your EBT food benefits card (SNAP) is locked and you must call the number provided to get help.
However, according to warnings from the government, these crooks will ask you for your card and PIN number and then use that information to steal benefits.
These crooks are counting on you to panic and provide your information before you have time to think.
