People in Scotland are being warned not to ignore a text from the Metropolitan Police, as they send out 70,000 messages UK-wide to help crack down on fraud.
Typically, a text from an official source like the police rings warning bells in many people's heads, as it is normally a scam. However, the Mirror reports that people are being warned not to ignore the messages from the Metropolitan Police.
The police force is sending out text messages over the next 48 hours to 70,000 people who may have been targeted. This news comes after the British police were involved in a huge operation to crack down on "number-spoofing".
