A Washington County scam uses fake texts with mistaken names to trick people into sharing info or money.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office warned on January 13, 2026, about a new text message scam where fraudsters send unsolicited messages pretending to be confused or mistaken, using wrong names or asking if the recipient is still available to meet.
These messages aim to build false trust before requesting personal information, money, or cryptocurrency investments, and may push conversations to untraceable platforms.
Authorities advise ignoring, blocking, and reporting such messages, avoiding any response—even to deny being the intended recipient—and not clicking on links.
They urge residents to share the warning to help prevent fraud.
