The Nebraska Department of Revenue has been notified about scam text messages being sent asking individuals to click a link to receive their refund. DOR officials say while the cited Nebraska Revised Statute adds validity to the message, the embedded link will direct the taxpayer to a bogus site to enter their personal and banking information.
This scam has been reported in other parts of the country. The DOR stresses they will never send a text to ask for personal tax return information. If you receive a text message of this kind, do not reply and delete it.
