The U.S. Army, in Central Oregon and all across the United States advised Americans that the military is not drafting individuals by any means, including through text messages.

Texts have circulated this week alerting U.S. citizens that they have been selected for a military draft, according to a statement from U.S. Army Recruiting Command on Tuesday.

Calling them “fake,” the Army said they want to make sure “Americans understand these texts are false and were not initiated by this command or the U.S. Army.”
