1. A computer-implemented method of processing an emergency incident reported to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) comprising:
receiving at the PSAP an emergency call initiated by a mobile telecommunication device reporting an emergency incident;
determining the geolocation of the mobile communication device;
triggering a Short Message Service-Cell Broadcast (SMS-CB), wherein SMS messages are sent to mobile communication devices located within a predetermined area around the determined geolocation;
extracting objects from a plurality of CB-SMS response messages to the SMS-CB received from the mobile communication devices, the objects related to the emergency incident;
performing an object comparison on the extracted objects for determining a similarity of the objects with respect to each other;
verifying whether similar objects have been received from co-located mobile communication devices;
creating a list comprising the objects and the geolocations of the respective mobile communication devices, wherein the objects in the list are ordered according to their similarity;
determining a convergence in the distribution of the CB-SMS response messages with respect to the objects and respective geolocations; and
filtering out the CB-SMS response messages that do not meet convergence criteria for eliminating CB-SMS response messages from malevolent communication devices.
