Beware fake Covid vaccination invites, NHS warns

[IlonaM]

BBC Radio 4's You & Yours programme has just highlighted Covid vaccination invitation scams by email in particular, but also can be by text/phone.

Here is a link to an earlier BBC report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55811161

'The NHS has warned people to be vigilant about fake invitations to have the coronavirus vaccination, sent by scammers.

The scam email includes a link to "register" for the vaccine, but no registration for the real vaccination is required.

The fake site also asks for bank details either to verify identification or to make a payment.

The NHS says it would never ask for bank details, and the vaccine is free.
