Official alert messages from police designed to help find people

What a geo-targeting message looks like

Police want to remind all people who live, work and visit the Central Coast to be aware that if they receive a text from +61 444 444 444 it is an important notification from NSW Police and not a scam.

NSW Police Force uses geo-targeting to help locate vulnerable missing persons, sending emergency alerts to mobiles in the area where the person went missing.

If you receive a text message from +61 444 444 444, it is an official alert to seek your assistance – not a scam.

You can check that it’s real because the message will always come from the same mobile number and the message will always include a link to an image of the missing person.

If you have any information on a missing person, contact Triple Zero (000) or Crime Stoppers NSW on 1800 333 000 or online at https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au
