During COVID there were so many scams around, warnings of being in contact etc, via text, you can click on this or that for details, lots of them were scams, seems this warning is leaving people open to scams also once the scammers get on to it. I don’t click on anything via the phone, But this warning says ‘. If you don’t click on this you will not be able to use for phone’. That will set in panic to some people, the fear of not being able to use their phone if they don’t click on it. Scammers field day by the looks of it.
Where did that original photoshot come from, anyone know?
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Couldn't care less if the someone in China or Russia takes an interest in my grocery deliveries, I've got nothing to hide (I think).
Any paranoia is down to lack of trust in the powers that be, whoever they are. When the secret files are opened in a 100 years or less, the next generation will know if we've been duped or not, as we're now hearing the relative truth when historical files are opened. Just like the war years generation were kept from knowing what Edward and Mrs Simpson were getting up to at that time.
Can't blame anyone for being nervous of our governments, whatever side they are.
I don't have any objection to the government sending out alerts. I do object to them taking control of my phone, and stopping it working unless i do as they say.

I took up the challenge @lyn and have just spent a fruitless 20 minutes doing a text search and a reverse image search. The only overlap I could find was a Facebook posting on site dedicated to the Morrison family.
It certainly looks like the detail posted is false and the misinformation is disturbing for some. Perhaps @rowlandscastle444 who posted the original can enlighten us to the source.

There is more but I just took a screenshot of a few bits that seem relevant to this thread.

I'll just switch my phone off at 2.30 on Sunday.
