ALMA, Ark. — The Alma Police Department is warning residents about a phone scam going around.
According to a Facebook post from the department, officers have received reports of a text scam in their community.
The scam text claims that the victim's Arkansas unemployment insurance claim is currently on hold for verification purposes. It then sends a link to click on to "reactivate your account."
