BALDWIN COUNTY, Ga. — Multiple Georgia Sheriff's Offices are warning residents about a text message scam making the rounds.

In posts on Facebook, the sheriff's offices for Baldwin County and Washington County said they have received numerous calls about the scam, which offers up a link that looks as though it is from Georgia DDS.

However, both sets of authorities assured residents that the link is not legitimate.

In particular, the Washington County Sheriff's Office warned that it's generally good practice not to open any link sent from a number you do not recognize.
