UNDATED -- A scam that's targeting you through your cell phone! We've seen the spam text messages for some time, but the Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on them.
We're talking about the ones that send you a text message saying you won a gift card to Walmart or Best Buy.
The FTC has charged 29 individuals and companies from around the U.S. with sending more than 180 million unwanted text messages..
"They're annoying. They're like a tease," said Jordan Beverly, a Miamisburg resident.
We found these aren't the only spam messages out there either. The Ohio Attorney General's Office says you need to watch out for messages asking you to confirm your bank account, ones that say you have been selected for a work opportunity or that you owe money and you must pay immediately.
