The Oneida County Sheriff's Office is not selling T-shirts:

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office wants the public to know that his office is not selling T-shirts. Any text messages regarding the sale of T-shirts from his office is a scam and deputies want to know about them.

According to Oneida County Sheriff Rob Maciol, the text messages are coming from several different numbers, all claiming to be from the agency selling T-shirts.

Maciol warns residents should not clink on the link in the text.
