The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) has issued a warning about a new text message scam that is affecting people across the country. The scam involves fraudulent messages that appear to come from state revenue or treasury agencies and attempt to solicit banking information from recipients.

According to IDOR, these messages are not legitimate and individuals should not respond or provide any personal financial details. The department advises taxpayers to remain vigilant and report suspicious communications.

More information can be found in the full press release from the Illinois Department of Revenue.
