Popular Post cosceguinhas Posted July 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2020 Just received this via my NextDoor Neighbourhood forum.....  "SCAM NHS track and Trace call. BEWARE. This was just passed to me. Worth warning others and any elderly neighbours. And so it begins!......ð¡ âGood afternoon I'm calling from the NHS track and trace service. According to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test.' ' OK. Can you tell me who that person was?' 'I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information.' 'Right. Um... so ....' 'But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?' 'Ok (gives address)' 'Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalize this and send the kit to you.' 'Sorry - a payment card? I thought this was all free?' 'No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of £50 for the kit and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready.' 'No - that's not right. This is part of the NHS so there's no charge.' 'I'm afraid there is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying.' Puts the phone down. This is how scammers work. And vulnerable people will fall for it.â Don't fall for it...! Please share. COPY and PASTE  I'm in the UK, but they could try it on anywhere  4 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020  Looks like this scam is doing the rounds again. Picked this up from a Facebook friend. It even got a mention today by The First Minister in the Scotish Parliament.  2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
