Caller: Possible scammer SMS received:
Monash University invites you to take part in an important research study about COVID-19, work and health. The Social Research Centre will call you soon to see if you would like to take part. Reply '1' if you are 18+, '2' if you are under 18 or '3' to opt out
Doesn't add up that the phone number claims to represent the "Australian policing agencies" and "Monash University" all in a matter of days with the same message. Don't reply to them otherwise it will confirm that your number is active and will call you or spam regardless of you replying with "3".
Thanks David and Fred
