Received a text message from this unknown number. After I read the message it was an emergency alert of a missing man. The location mentioned in the text message is within my residential area. With the information provided to me made me aware of the man's description and if sighted I could inform the appropriate authorities.

Caller: 0444 444 444

They do contact you often. They keep sending the same message every 10 minutes for last 45 minutes. Bit much I think.
Same yesterday.

Dont recognize the number. Have received similar message twice now. I ignored & promptly deleted it!

Scammers for sure

LOL. LOSER

unsolicited SMS wanting you to click on a link = definition of a scam

Caller: scam

0444 444 444? scam

Caller: 0444 444 444

sending alerts two days in a row to a Tasmanian in Tasmania about a missing person in NSW is a bit ridiculous, Not sure how many messages all up I've had from this number but NONE of them have been relevant to my location, they have ALL been about something happening in another state. The first one was a real worry, it was about an evacuation order due to fire, yet at the time there were no fires burning out of control in Tasmania..
Sending pointless emergency messages to those that do not need them is a great way to teach people to ignore such messages, has no-one heard the story about the boy that cried wolf?

Scam or virus

Spam Covid vaccination messages

Exact same experience as the person that posted May 18, 2021:

"Received an SMS purporting to be about police supposedly looking for someone and a dodgy link"... It directed me to what looked like an early 2000's scam style website.

Perhaps you should shut you Marxist hole, lest someone shut it for you.

Caller: Emergency Alert

It’s legitimate. Missing children, weather and fire alerts…

Caller: Msg... Missing person

I don't like this one little bit .
For all you stupid SHEEP, out there?
.... Roscoe..... Cupola questions.
Do you trust your governments?
Do you think, just one day, someone, ... Oops,.... Just dropped a pathogen?
People are individuals,...
You?... Just want everyone to think like you?.... Coz your awesome?
YOUR A d*ck. With no clue, your blind.
Just do what your told. Without question?.... Just accept, what they give you?.... Shame on you.... And wake up to what is happening in the world .
Tiz you who is asleep. A sheep. A slave.

It’s a scam! They imitate news and send it to you with a link. When you check the news it’s there and police will tell which or what numbers to contact and definitely not this number!

Caller: 0444 444 444

1 - Receive unsolicited text about a missing person in my area from this number.
2 - go to local police website
3 - search for recent updates
4 - find exact match for text message
5 - understand that this is, in fact, the emergency broadcast number as others have said
6 - comprehend how many idiots there are thinking it HAS to be a scam.....

Seriously, if you get a number, look at your local police web page for further details. You could save somebody's life.

Caller: Queensland Health - Government

The real enlightenment that COVID has truly shown to me (70 yr old) is just how many self-centred retarded MORONS live on the same planet that I do.
