Arkansas State Police is warning people to be aware of a text message scam regarding the status of your Concealed Handgun Carry License. (Channel 8, Jonesboro)
ASP said in a news release this week that someone has been sending out text messages indicating that the recipient’s concealed carry license is expiring, with a link provided to renew it.
ASP says that these texts did not come from them and warns citizens not to click on the link.
All concealed carry renewals must go through the Arkansas State Police website.
Anyone receiving this type of bogus text is asked to call their local State Police HQ.
Locally, call 870-633-1454 for Troop-D HQ in Forrest City.
