sent me a text (addressing me by name) to call Constable Jane Newbery at Northcote Police. I'm sure this is a hoax.

a google search brings this number up as drivesafe nt a driver education program - no idea why i got an sms from them and it made no sense anyway

Claims to be Mater Lotteries. I was suspicious of the fact that it came from a mobile, but the number they said to ring is confirmed as Mater Lottery.
