The U.S. Army is warning about fake text messages informing people they've been drafted into military service.
One of the texts reads, "Hello, we are contacting you in regards to the United States official draft" and tells the recipient they've been marked eligible to serve and must report to the nearest military branch.
One message threatens a fine or jail time of a minimum of six years for failure to respond.
The U.S. Army Recruiting Command said they have received multiple calls and emails about the fake text messages.
"U.S. Army Recruiting Command wants to ensure Americans understand these texts are false and were not initiated by this command or the U.S. Army," they said in a statement.
It's not clear how many people received the messages. The two examples provided by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command appeared to be addressed to people in New Jersey and Florida.
