The calls from +19195089000 appear to be part of a suspected scam masquerading as emergency alerts from local authorities like the Sheriff's Department or Cary Police. The messages typically involve missing person alerts, often targeting vulnerable groups like children or the elderly, and are delivered at odd hours—most commonly around 2:00 AM. This timing raises red flags, as legitimate emergency notifications are unlikely to occur in the middle of the night when people are less likely to respond effectively. Additionally, the caller ID displays the number itself rather than a recognized agency name, further undermining its credibility. Some users noted that the number is associated with the Wake County Board of Education, which does not issue such alerts. While one comment suggested it might be part of the ReadyWake emergency notification system, the overwhelming consensus points to a scam. These calls seem designed to exploit concern and potentially gather information or trigger responses that could lead to further fraudulent activity.
Thank you for confiming that this number is a scam and that you are one of the scammers, thats apreciated
Have you ever looked up a phone number for no reason whats so ever?
This automated notification system from ReadyWake is designed to alert users of emergency events in Wake County, and while it may be flagged as spam due to its auto-dialed nature, it has proven to be a valuable service, especially in light of recent events where timely warnings were issued
I recieved two calls from this number before 8am on a Sunday, and I know how the Wake County Public Schools call system works, this was not one of them, it was a scam.
It is noteworthy that many reports of calls and texts from this number were made around 2:00 a.m., which raises suspicions about the legitimacy of the caller, as one would expect genuine attempts at contact to occur during more conventional hours
I got a call at 02:10, but i have a feature on my landline that allows calls to go to voicemail without ringing between 11 pm and 6 am, it's helped me avoid alot of unwanted calls.
At 2:06 am, a call was received with a voicemail about a missing person in Cary near Penny Road, which was alarming and lacked an area code on the caller ID.
At 2:08am on Dec 23, I recived a call from this number regarding a missing 80 year old woman, I'm curious to know who the caller is?
A call was recieved at 2am last night, claiming a woman was missing, this need to stop, when you call the number back, it says its not in service.
A call was received at 2AM, which was not answered and went to voicemail, concerning a missing 80-year-old woman, though the legitimacy of this call is questionable due to its suspicious nature and the fact that it did not appear as a standard call on Caller ID.

A strange call was made around 2:07 am, supposedly from the Cary police, regarding a missing 80-year-old in the area, which seems unlikely.
At 1 am, i recived a call for a missing person alert, it was suprising.
On Sunday morning at 6:25, I recieved a call about a missing child, they described the child and what the child was wearng.
Research indicates that this number is affiliated with the Wake County Board of Education, though a message claiming to be from the Sheriff's department about a missing 42-year-old woman in the area has raised concerns about its legitimacy, prompting caution and unanswered calls.
Suspicious alert regarding a missing woman in my area has been received, yet upon further investigation, no such information can be found, leading to concerns about a potential scam
Late in the evening, I received an 'alert' supposedly from the County Sheriff Dept regarding a missing person, which was unsettling and lacked verification
