Covid testing Scam

Beware.


SCAM artists are offering bogus covid-19 tests and fake ‘covid free’ certificates, Warwickshire residents have been warned.

Warwickshire Trading Standards is investigating a case in which a consumer may have unwittingly paid over £100 to fraudsters for a ‘quick-turn-around’ covid-19 test and received a fake ‘all-clear’ certificate in return.

The genuine laboratory named on the certificate has confirmed it was previously unaware of the ‘testing firm’, did not carry out the test or issue any certificate.

NHS warning against scam text messages offering Covid vaccine

The NHS has issued a warning after residents in Coventry received scam text messages offering people the opportunity to sign up for the Covid vaccine.

Posts submitted to several Coventry area Facebook groups warn vulnerable relatives have received text messages alleging to be from the NHS.

The texts offer the opportunity for recipients to sign up for the vaccine by following a link in the message.

The link takes you to an official looking submission form which asks you to provide personal details, including banking information.

But the NHS has confirmed they do NOT contact those eligible for the vaccine via text message and would never ask for bank details.
