Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Do not call or text 1-701-409-0527. This is because the number is being used by cybercriminals in an attempt to steal their potential victims’ personal, account and financial information. The cyber criminals do this by sending out phishing Facebook, e-mail, or text messages like the ones below to potential victims, claiming they have won some so-called lottery. The phishing message then asks the potential victims to call or text the same number immediately.
Here is a message that we have received from one our users:
