Yeah. A friend of mine just shared this:

Great. They will look indistinguishable from scammers, and I have low hopes that anyone will actually check ID now that this notice has told them they're legit. Some scammers are gonna have a field day impersonating them.



While I don't support abuse of 911 for things like this, they really need something like it, a known-trusted authority that people can verify with.

Otherwise, you're using information in the notice to verify the notice! That's pointless!
