It seems New Jersey residents were somewhat alarmed after the wireless company sent a text alert to customers in Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties, warning of a “civil emergency” and telling people to “take shelter now.”

The text was identified as a message from the U.S. Government. Full article at link

If this had been a real alert, the message would have ended with "...and we're here to help"
