A Recent Text Scam Scheme in Indianapolis

The City of Indianapolis has been hit hard by a recent text scam scheme that wants recipients to believe the texts originate from government agencies. These scam texts generally address money owed by those who receive them. The texts generally have official-looking documents attached, and authorities report that scammers have become a lot more sophisticated when it comes to fraudulent documents.

The bottom line is that, as a consumer, you should never click on an unsolicited link that purports to come from the government. Any text sent by the government that addresses fines, fees, legal charges, or tickets is a scam. If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of information you receive in a text from an official source, you should head directly to their official website, rather than engaging with the text.

A Text Doesn’t Have to Be a Scam to Be Illegal

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) sets the parameters that determine when spam texts cross the line from being a bother to being against the law. The basics include the following:

  • Companies must obtain written consent from the consumer prior to sending spam texts.
  • Companies cannot send spam texts outside the allotted hours from 8 AM to 9 PM.
  • For a call to be considered illegal spam, it must have been sent via autodial or have been automated.
  • Companies cannot send spam texts in which they do not identify themselves.

These represent the federal guidelines, and the State of Indiana implements additional protections for consumers.

Filing a successful spam text claim involves challenging legal intricacies. If, however, you have opted out of spam texts from a sender or never gave your consent to receive them in the first place, you may have a strong legal claim. Consulting with a trusted consumer rights lawyer early on can help you recover on your statutory damages, which are calculated per offending text.
