Today I had a text saying I'd been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, and would need to order a PCR test from a website (linked)

A bit of googling confirmed what I suspected: this is a Scam text. For instance Which is warning about this

I've had several of those, as have my kids. There is nothing about it that looks remotely legit.

Exactly. But some folks won't be suspicious and will click on the link.
