Receive a disturbing text about something going down either today or Saturday in the Seaport district of South Boston? Boston Police says it’s a hoax.

“We have no credible threat in the Snowport,” Sgt. Det. John Boyle, Boston Police’s chief spokesman, told the Herald Friday.

From what the Herald can gather, some people online shared a text message about a possible mass casualty event in the Snowport.

Some people who saw screenshots took to social media, namely on Reddit, to ask about the credibility of such a threat. The posters were not warmly received by responders who saw straight through the hoax.

The hoax threat appears like it may be related to an an advertised protest called “Shutdown Snowport for Palestine,” according to a flyer posted by Party for Socialism and Liberation Boston, which is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today in the area.

A notice emailed by corporate security for a bank located within a mile of the planned demonstration said that the size of the protest was unknown and recommended that people avoid the immediate area due to possible disruptions caused by the event.

“Snowport” is a name the Seaport takes on around the holidays — “Snowport: Seaport’s all dressed in its wintry best,” the neighborhood’s chamber of commerce-type website croons on a webpage devoted to advertising the district’s festive offerings.
