The messages, sent anonymously, were reported in several states, including New York, Alabama, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia. They generally used a similar tone but varied in wording.
Some instructed the recipient to show up at an address at a particular time “with your belongings,” while others didn’t include a location. Some of them mentioned the incoming presidential administration.
