COVID-19 vaccine scam text

Fraudsters are taking advantage of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout through a cruel but convincing text in an attempt to steal people's personal and financial details. The text contains a link that leads to a very believable but bogus NHS website with an application form to register to take the vaccine.

Here's the link to what we know so far.

Wishing you a safe and happy new year!
