Quick Tip: Fake AAA text scams

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Here's a quick text scam tip

There is a new warning about text messages that look like they're coming from AAA, but they're not.

It claims your "emergency roadside kit" is waiting and urges you to click a link to confirm.

Cybersecurity company "Guardio" says these messages have doubled in recent months.

The link can take you to a fake website built to steal your information or install malware.

AAA says it does not send unsolicited texts asking you to click links or provide sensitive information.

If you get a message like this, don't click. Go directly to AAA's official website or app instead.

Never click on unexpected links.
