The Malverne Fire Department has alerted area residents of a text message scam.
According to the department, the message was sent out to Nassau County residents posing as the local fire department.
The
fire department says it is not involved in any such fund drive other
than annual mailing and will not text or call to solicit money.
They
are asking residents to please refrain from answering any texts or
calls, and for any escalated issues involving money to call police.
