Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. I received 3 text messages yesterday all addressed to the wrong name (so not me or even anyone I know) saying I've been identified as someone who has recently tested positive and I must self isolate. It gave me a link to visit my account (set up a username and password) for me to provide more information. I didn't do this since the text message was addressed to the wrong person plus i haven't been anywhere for at least 4 weeks where I've had to provide my details such as a pub or restaurant as were I live these have all been closed for over 3 weeks plus we aren't allowed to mix households so I've only been to the shops were they obviously don't ask for your details.
This morning I have received a call from test and trace and they said they will call be back later and to look out for the number. They said I can look on the gov website for more information which I have done and it all looks legit so doesn't look like a scam like I initially thought it was. But they've clearly got the wrong person either someone has given them a random / wrong number and it just happens to me or someone has used my number. I just don't know how easy it will be to explain this to them, will they listen? Or will they just think I'm making it up? No one I know has ever been contacted by them. I live with my partner and he hasn't been contacted by them either. Has anyone else been in this situation?
