This is a scam, right?

Just got this text message (picture hopefully attached) saying I need to provide aaaaaalll my details for a COVID pass. It looks pretty when you click on the link, but the web address seems funny. I’m not wrong, am I? Hopefully others will beware too.

Yes that's a scam

100% scam - government addresses end in .gov

Yes scam, never click links like this!

Its come from a random mobile number. I wouldn't click on any links in a text

Yep. I had it the other day.

scam

Looking at nhs and gov pages they're .uk not .com so that suggests scam.

Forward it to 7726 to report spam.

You should never click on a link from a text or email even if you know the brand. It isn't a safe thing to do.

Best to go to their website directly and check for the information they've sent or contact them to confirm.

Forward it to 7726 to report spam.

Does anyone know how to do this on iPhone - on mine there isn't an option to forward txts ?

@daimbarsatemydogsbone

You just tap on the message

Then 'more'

You can forward from there!

Ask if that's not clear!!

On my iPhone work, android is so much better after clicking more there is a little arrow to press.

I had this yesterday, googled the number and lots of other people also reported it as a scammer.

Doh! - thanks got it now

I received one of these the other day, a scam.

You have 116 messages?! 😶 that would drive me crackers... 😅😅

Yep neither NHS or Government sites end in .com.

7726 is a good one to remember (it's SPAM on your phone keypad). You get an immediate response to say it's logged.

I had one of those pesky "pay £2.34 for your Royal Mail parcel to be delivered" texts. Scamming bastards.

Yeah I get Royal Mail / Hermes / DHL type ones asking for money all the time. No idea where they got my number from!
