Police Warn Residents About Scam Texts Claiming to Be From Bangor Borough Authority

The Bangor Borough Police Department says residents are receiving text messages that claim to be from the Bangor Borough Authority about past-due account balances. Officials say the messages are a scam and urge recipients to disregard and delete them; the Bangor Borough Authority does communicate with customers via text. Residents are reminded that legitimate organizations will not ask for sensitive information by text message.
