CBC Radio Interview: False Amber Alert
I was interviewed by CBC Radio today regarding a false Amber Alert message that was being forwarded via SMS throughout Saskatchewan, especially in the Estevan area.
From the Leader Post:
REGINA — Saskatchewan RCMP are advising the public that a text message Amber Alert circulating around the province relating to a missing child is a fake.
RCMP detachments and various municipal police services have fielded a number of queries since Tuesday night from concerned citizens throughout Saskatchewan in response to an Amber Alert text message they received on their cellphones.
The text message read: “Amber Alert 3 year old girl taken by a man driving a new silver truck plate 72B831. Keep it going so they can find her.”
It looks like other versions of this false Amber Alert have been going around since last February and have been reported in several other States.
The piece from CBC Radio (Blue Sky) is included below. My interview starts about 7 minutes in.
