Covid Vaccination Scam

Surrey Police have issued the following notice:

There have been reports of a new scam where a person receives a text saying they need to book a vaccination appointment and it takes them to a fake NHS form which then asks for their bank details to prove their identity. 

The NHS will never ask for people's banking information. 

There is a leaflet about the texting scam, which can be downloaded here:
