HOAX

There is a current email hoax being shared over email. The email advises the following misinformation:

This is for Australian phone numbers REMEMBER: Mobile Phone Numbers Go Public next month.REMINDER all mobile phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

Below is a link where you can enter your phone numbers online to put an end to telemarketing calls https://www.donotcall.gov.au/.

The Qld Police Service Telephone Coordination Unit has received queries regarding the content of this email. This has been confirmed as a hoax through Telstra.

The ‘Do Not Call Register’ email address is genuine, the part about mobile numbers going public is incorrect.
