US Army Warns of
Fraudulent Military Draft.
The warning has been issued following
a wave of fake text messages telling
Americans they have been drafted.
The texts instruct recipients to report
to the nearest Army recruiting branch
"for immediate departure to Iran.”.
Some have reported being contacted
multiple times and being told they
will "be fined and sent to jail for
minimum 6 years if no reply.".
The hoax comes as tensions rise between the
U.S. and Tehran as a result of the airstrike that
killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
Army security officials are
investigating the source,
though no leads have
been discovered
