Fake Amber Alerts being texted

By

SURREY (NEW1130) – A round of fake Amber Alert text messages is going around. The fake alert asks the public to help find a Surrey boy taken by a man in a grey car with Washington State plates.

RCMP Corporal Annie Linteau says police here do not send out Amber Alerts via text message. “Any Amber Alert that you receive via your telephone may in fact not be a valid one. We ask everybody to please not forward any Amber Alert via text messages.”

She says local media will be notified of the alert first.
