Contacted by track and trace

I keep being contacted by track and trace. Even if I haven't left the house and I know I wasn't a close contact to anyone.

I easily go on and fill and then it tells me I don't need to isolate. But I don't want this anymore. I've obviously signed up to something unwittingly.

I deleted the nhs app. I can't seem to remove myself, please does anyone know how I do?

Someone has given them your details as a close contact.

Are you actually getting calls? Because that isnt through the app. As above, if Test and Trace call you it is because you are being given as a contact.

Is it the same number calling you each time? Block it!

I know. And I wasn't. And I've told them so and they've apologised.

No. It was a text. I have an account. And a password.

I logged in and it said I don't need to self isolate, but that's now not the point.

But I don't want to be traceable. Anymore.
I don't know how to delete my account.

I got one of those texts when a close contact had tested positive and then given my name and number because I had seen them recently. Nothing to do with the app in my case.

Oblomov21 · 20/10/2021 13:51

So there's nothing I can do?

It's a scam text. Hope you aren't giving away any private information when you fill the form in.

A scam?

@Oblomov21

A scam?
It looks similar to my (legitimate) NHSTracing text. Mine is because dc1 has tested positive. I've cut the top off because it shows my youngest child's name & acct Id.

Someone has given them your number as a contact.

Test & trace aren’t tracking you any other way though? You don’t need to isolate so just ignore & carry on with life.

Or are you saying they are sending you loads of messages / phone calls? Even so, those should stop once the 10 days have passed.
