The message come from the CFA, oops.

Emergency warnings. DO NOT BLOCK

Caller: Australian Government

This number is used by the government to spread awareness of dangerous situations and missing persons. I lived right in the middle of the south coast 2020 bushfires and I received numerous messages from this number telling me to evacuate asap. They also use this number to send out alerts for missing persons who are close to you. It’s NOT a scam

This is (probably) an official message from emergency services. Wouldn't hurt to check the official Australian police social media if you are sent a message. Spoofing might still be possible so to be on the safe side avoid clicking on links from 0444 444 444 unless you are sure they are 111% safe.

Caller: Time Wasters

If they need help there should be a reward. We already payed them to do their job through the tax office. Number blocked - end of discussion.

Caller: Goverment

This is not a scam it’s the New South Wales police emergency alert msg system about serious events etc

Caller: NSW POLICE

Have you seen this person Located at : Blah Blah Blah visit the post on X, FB

Number located in Penrith and claimed to be from Gold Coast emergency services and claimed that there were severe thunderstorms in my area and to click links for more info. It's sunny here and nothing on the rain radar. Obvious scammer.

Say it's Gold Coast City Council something about an emergency that is now completed?

I got this pathetic text message to show up in Sydney NSW to look for a missing person. So what, I actually live in Newcastle NSW so what would be the point of going all that waste of money, time and effort for me that doesn't drive a car and don't have a licence to go with. And second of all I don't care to go outside my town for some idiot that is supposed to be a grown up, and can look after themselves. So cops seriously GET a LIFE. My elderly 98 year old father unable to walk got a threatening bunch of texts to go outside of our town last year and it turned out that this idiot mother didn't think to call a neighbour 2 doors down, where her pathetic son was. Shame on her and the COPS here. My nursing home went into a lockdown for 3 weeks because of this idiot mother. They even threatened the dementia patients as well, shame on you COPS. I hope you can live with yourselves. I know I couldn't if I did something like that to dementia and Alzheimer's people and in the nursing home their is 80 in total. COPS live with your guilty conscience.

Caller: Cops

It looked legit and the missing bloke was driving a car with local plates only an hour or two from where I live…BUT the point is the link was for twitter and they are riddled with scams like all the socials so not going there hey?
The cops want to reach far and wide so doing their best to get the message out so do it without my help unless I see it on the local news. More scams than ever after the plandemic!

Caller: Idiots

Block this number. It's a scam.

All your comments above are right but you don't need to even click on the link if you are not sure if its a scam. Just read the message. It could be your friend or child one day that goes missing.
