MONTGOMERY – ALDOR is seeing reports of fraudulent text messages disguised as coming from our agency. These texts, which are popping up in other states as well, claim your refund request is approved, and they attempt to collect your personal and financial information.

DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS IN THESE TEXTS AND DO NOT REPLY. DELETE THESE TEXTS IMMEDIATELY.

Remember — ALDOR does not send text messages asking for personal information.

Protect your information. NEVER give personal details and financial information away if you don’t know for sure who you are giving it to.
