Texting Scam Florida Residents Should Be Aware Of

Author Babs

Polk County Sheriff’s office tells us that there is a texting scam going across the United States.  This Texting Scam Florida Residents need to know about is already affecting our neighbors in the Tampa Bay Area. There have already been several incidents in the Polk County area.

Several people have reported receiving a text that advertises T-shirts for sale by the Polk County sheriffs office! The text provides a link where you can make the purchase, but DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!

The text is not coming from the Sheriffs office. The scam text also includes Lakeland and Auburndale Police departments as well. Sheriff Grady Judd released a statement saying “Always be cautious of text messages with links, even if it appears to be from someone you know. Call the sender and make sure they sent it to you.”

Let your fellow Floridians know of this Texting Scam Florida Residents Should Be Aware Of!

It’s probably only a matter of time before this scam hits us down in Southwest Florida.  Don’t fall for it!

DQ Announces 6 New Blizzard Flavors In Florida

The temperature here in Southwest Florida may not feel like fall, but DQ’s recent announcement might make a difference.  DQ has announced 6 new Blizzard Flavors in Florida for the fall menu.

Since we don’t get the chilly weather this time of year, and it’s still BRUTALLY hot outside, it’s the perfect time to give one of these new flavors a try.  And to cool off.

If you’re not familiar with a Dairy Queen Blizzard, here’s what it is, according to Wikipedia:

A popular Dairy Queen item is the Blizzard, which is soft-serve mechanically blended with mix-in ingredients such as sundae toppings and/or pieces of cookies, brownies, or candy. It has been a staple on the menu since its introduction in 1985, a year in which Dairy Queen sold more than 100 million Blizzards.

My kids love a Blizzard.  They also love the “flip” they do before serving it to you.  If you don’t know about the “flip”, it’s when the cup is flipped over before serving to prove it’s thickness.  If anything spills out, the Blizzard is free.

So, without further ado, check out the list of Dairy Queen’s 6 new Blizzard flavors in Florida for Fall.  Thanks to the folks at Eat This Not That for the info.
