Rosanna Davison has warned parents to be careful after she received a chilling text message claiming to be from one of her children.

The former Miss World instantly knew the message - which urged her to call a fake phone number - was fake due to the ages of her kids - all under 3.

However, the concerned mum wanted to warn parents to be vigilant after hearing that others had received the same message.

She shared the message on social media which read: “Hi Mum. I broke my phone. Can you text my new number 089******* I’m texting a friend’s phone. ASAP.”

Rosanna shared a warning with her social media followers, writing : “Scam alert! I was also sent this same text a few weeks ago.

“I’d be pretty impressed if my 2 year olds/3 year old were able to text me.

“Anyway, just an FYI if you also get it or similar.”

The model warned that people should be on the lookout for such scams.

She added: “Don’t fall for it!”

Rosanna’s warning comes just days after her dad Chris de Burgh launched a blistering attack against “miserable con men” on social media.

It is the second time this summer Chris has had to warn his fans against “liars” and “cheats” who are pretending to be him to dupe innocent fans.

The rock star took to Facebook to write: “It has come to my attention that yet again, there are scammers, fraudsters, liars, cheats, miserable con men who are pretending to be me or my management/personal assistants etc

“None of these are real, so DO NOT REPLY!!

“What they are trying to do is open a conversation with you that sooner or later will turn into an attempt to extort money from you.

“Be vigilant and report these people, either to Facebook or post warnings on this site that others can read.

“Have a good, scam-free summer!!
