*Department of Revenue warns of text message scam impacting Minnesotans*

"Scam texts claim to be from the department and ask recipients to click a suspicious link"

The Minnesota Department of Revenue is warning Minnesotans of scam text messages claiming to be from the department and asking recipients to click a suspicious hyperlink to update their banking information and claim a refund. These scam texts are coming from a source outside of the department. Minnesota Department of Revenue systems and taxpayer data are not at risk.

Minnesotans receiving these scam texts should:


* Refrain from clicking the hyperlink in the text
* Report the text as junk/spam on their phone and delete it
* Contact their banking institution if they clicked the link and input their information

The Minnesota Department of Revenue will never send you unsolicited communications asking you to update your personal or financial information.

Below is the content of the scam text messages to be aware of:
