Please RT this thread - a new scam involving fake NHS texts about vaccines is spreading fast (thanks to my follower @Chrislike16 for alerting me). Do not click on links like this in texts. Next tweet shows how they will attempt to harvest your financial details #ScamAlert

The link leads to this fake (yet convincing!) website to fool you into entering card details etc A big clue this is fake? Spelling errors! Plus you don’t need to pay - the NHS is free at point of use and over 80s are the priority group for vaccines. If in doubt, call your GP

As @AnneAshworth says, scammers know we’re in a fragile mental state, and that these kinds of “urgent - you must act now” messages will catch us off guard. Others: “you’ve come into contact with Covid” “your internet will be cut off”or “HMRC has issued a warrant for your arrest”

In all cases, breathe, and take a step back. If it’s an unprompted link on a text, asking for lots of personal details and your credit card number, it’s almost certainly a scam. If you’re not sure, phone a friend. If you’ve got examples of others and want me to RT, just DM me!
