A dangerous text has been circulating where people are being told they are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. The link in the message takes you to a convincing fake NHS website where it asks for personal information and bank account details. If you receive any communication like this, do not click any links in the message and delete it immediately.

Cold calls regarding the vaccine are also beginning to take place where payment is asked for over the phone. If you receive one of these calls, hang up straight away.

Please remember the COVID-19 vaccination is free and any adverts for a vaccine in return for payment are highly likely to be a scam.
