NHS omicron Text scam

[Blue Mist]

Just never disclose any details when you have been contacted. If I get a call from someone who I feel is probably genuine (bank, Sky, Insurers, etc) and they say they need to ask questions to pass security I tell them to get fucked, they’ve contacted me not the other way around. I’ve never been scammed and by sticking to my principles hopefully never will.

When people ring me I always tell them to get fucked. Nothing to do with security questions it just makes me feel better.

I got a text telling me Simon had tried to deliver my parcel, but was unable to, click this link to rearrange delivery.

I got the text at 3am on Sunday morning…

That's presumably why you didn't hear Simon knocking

just checked and can confirm mine was a scam with this address

nhs.test-kits-delivery.com/nhs

question is why did this stack up on messages from my gp which I know were genuine???

I had exactly the same, similar time also
Basically these days i treat every every text/phone call is a scam and will not respond. If i think it could be genuine ie Bank, i ignore any text/calls and check things online or ring them myself. Never ever respond from messages, calls, texts etc

All of these texts could, and should, easily be stopped at source.

If bluemooners can spot they're scams then Vodafone etc definitely can.

Why doesn't this happen?

Was getting texts several times a day, all different numbers, but all basically the same scam of 'missed delivery, click link to rearrange'. I just ignored and blocked each number, eventually without a bite they tailed off.

Latest though could catch a few .... a missed voicemail from your doctor. Beware.

Especially now texts are free. They aren’t even getting paid for allowing them to be sent.

When you pay for the security it will stop, then a new scam will start and you will require extra payments to stop that, when Boris upped the no pin payments, with no opt out, digital banking became less secure than cash for the first time, lucky for me i have no banking details on my phone, nor my medical details so i will not be getting ripped off by security companies.

Not being funny but you’d have to be a complete moron to fall for these scams.

Everyone thinks that until they're the one that falls for it.
