Covid Vaccine Scam Warning

Added at 21:30 on 06 January 2021

Criminals are taking advantage of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout through a convincing scam text to steal people’s personal and financial details.

Sadly fraudsters don't care about who they take advantage of - and the fear around the Covid19 pandemic is no exception.

PLEASE, PLEASE share this warning to make others aware.

NHS will NEVER require you to any give financial details. The vaccine through NHS is a free service, there are no charges. #DontBeDuped
