COVID scam text messages

Be aware of text messages from ‘NHS no-reply’ asking people to click a link to buy COVID-19 tests.

These messages are fraudulent and have not originated from the NHS.

If you receive a text message, do not click any links and report it as scam by forwarding the message to 7726 (a national scheme for reporting suspicious texts for free).

The CCG is also working with its SMS provider to see if there is anything that can be done to block this scam.
