HOUMA, La. (KLFY)- Don’t fall for that text alert.
At least one bogus text message has circulated among Louisiana residents “confirming” a coronavirus case in Terrebonne Parish.
According to Terrebonne General Medical Center’s marketing department, this text didn’t come from the medical facility. Terrebonne General Medical Center has released the following statement:
“Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) has been made aware of a SPAM text message circulating in our community regarding a confirmed case of the Coronavirus at TGMC and a link for more information. The SPAM link leads to an inappropriate adult website – PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK! Also, please be advised that there are NO CONFIRMED Coronavirus cases at TGMC or in the State of Louisiana.”
