Pfizer scam (Scam sms)
Received a text sms from this number 0488 826 170, ‘Pfizer vaccine has arrived. Book your first jab while stocks last. (URL with https://bit.ly/....) Click here to confirm your eligibility.
(https://bit.ly/...)’

informing of Pfizer vaccine availability. Clicking link will probable load a page requesting name, D.O.B. medicare number all of which can be used in identity theft.

Caller: Delete the text.

I got a message telling me I had a medical appointment but I have not made an appointment. I hope everyone reading this does NOT click on the link and instead just calls their doctors office if needed. It is unprofessional to not identify yourself and I would not trust it. Scams are on the rise. It’s unacceptable to send a mystery text with link.

I just had a call from this number saying I have been investigated for baking fraud. Ask me to press # 1 for more details. Otherwise you will be arrested. It is SCAM. Just block the number.

Caller: Hot Docs

It is a legitimate SMS module appointment confirmation service from "Hot Docs" booking

This number advising of an appt I did not make. I rang the practice and they said there was an appt but could not explain why it was there. It was made 2 days before the reminder. I have not replied an will be deleting the number.

Caller: We will never know...

... because "Optus advises this number has been disconnected".
I concur with Scam - someone has hacked the booking service number, my doctor did use that service for appointments online but no longer. Clearly a scam.

Text confirming a doctor's appointment I didn't make. Scam.

This is legit. It was from a medical service to confirm or cancel my appointment.

Caller: SMS from 0488 826 170

This is a scam. A reminder for a dentist appointment I never made with a dentist I don’t know. The SMS offers a link so they can grab all your info.

I keep getting messages from this number. Rang the centre as I do not ever go there and they do not have the dentist mentioned. Ignore and don’t open the link.

Hot Doc appt reminder for Drs.

May well be Hotdoc re doctors appointment but it gave me a time that i had not booked an appointment for. So how can this be legit. I am deleting it.

Caller: 0488 826 170

All legitimate. There was a message asking me to confirm a recent medical appointment that I had made.

Caller: My Medical Practice

a txt introducing me to a new GP at my medical centre. No request to open a link.

It might be a legit booking reminder app as others keep saying... but in my case someone has booked me in for a Weight Loss Clinic. The thing is, I've never googled for weight loss in the past decade as I am in peak condition doing basic gymnastics, acrobats, HIIT, and athletics as my regular exercise.

So I'm definitely thinking something's suspect about all this.

Caller: 0488 826 170

If this is a legit booking confirmation service, it needs to be more specific and write my name and who the appointment is with. It looks exactly like a scam so I will not click on the link provided.

Caller: Dr appointment confirmation service

The HotDoc website is an online medical appointment advice and confirmation service.
Fully legit.
Can't understand why people are saying this is a scam.

No they are not part of a scam. It's my Dr appointment reminder service. I am not sure how many practices use this number, it leaves a txt message only. Strangely, the number shows up in call history for that appointment day but as text on the previous day. That's probably just a bug of my phones OS.

all gud.Done

Not scam
