We’re aware of false text messages circulating inviting people for a coronavirus vaccine.
If you’re eligible for a vaccine, you’ll only be contacted by the NHS, usually through a phone call or a letter. If the NHS texts you, they’ll never ask for any bank details or a payment.
Look out for these things to avoid falling victim to a scam
– A phone number you don’t recognise
– Links to unofficial websites
– Misspelling or poor grammar
Stop others falling victim to scams, report them by forwarding the text message to Ofcom on 7726
