Caller: City of Yarra Text message

So why in the name of the Good Lord would the City of Yarra think it was a good idea to use this number to send a text requesting I send further personal information back, regarding my parking permit - via text. It IS legit,(I checked their website) its just really poorly conceived and the number has a terrible reputation as this page show. Never send personal info to an unsolicited number is a golden rule for all of us.

Caller: joblife

Recieved a text to contact them. Claimed to be from joblife Australia. Bloody scammers. They knew my first name. Called the number back and its not connected.

sms with my name from local council saying parking permit are going on-line and require email .Check with the council by phone ,they telling me it's a scam .
Be careful people / THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

I've received two texts from this number, over a year apart. One was from an electricity company advising a meter reader would be around shortly. The second one was reminding me a car service was due. It had my name, car rego and details of the company I purchased the vehicle from, and was correct in the timing of the service. Must be a third party messaging service.

Message claiming my 4Cyte Pathology invoice requires payment when I have not visited the site in over a year.

This number sent a message saying its from 4Cyte Pathology saying there is an outstanding invoice.However I do not have any pending payments. There is a link which I find it very suspicious.

Caller: Covid Test Result

SMS purportedly from DHM Path with my Covid test results. All my previous Covid tests have come through on a single but different number to this.

Caller: Clinpath Covid SMS results

Results sent to me via Clinpath

I received a text from this number claiming to be from Melb Pathology and it provided a random strangers COVID test result...and included a fake DHHS link which of course I have not clicked on. The text looks exactly like the one you receive from a pathology centre. BEWARE!

SMS received re: overdue invoice for pathology. Don't have an overdue invoice. Tried real hard to get more information from me. Hung up when I wouldn't co operate. SCAM

Addressed to wrong name about investment 'opportunity' SCAM!!! Delete without opening

They know my name, they even called before they texted the message below which is scary. They also know i had an issue with my covid certificate before that so even it has been solved they use it as a point of trust to exploit my information. I was a bit naive to give away my IHI number but when they text me this I completely know they are scammers with a suspicious link included.
