SCAM WARNING - PCR TEST NEEDED

That’s horrible, how low can some people go ?

I got this text message yesterday. I immediately suspected a scam because I thought these notifications were no longer given out. Also, PCR tests are not free, so I did a quick Google and had the message displayed above. I hope nobody will be taken in by this. I’m lucky to have a suspicious mind.

I had one too. It brought me up short a bit as I am socially distancing in preparation for surgery.

I got one too, but knew right away, it was a scam. I have a dedicated number for getting free PCRs, as I'm still CEV and knew that because I have had anti-virals recently, I couldn't have a PCR.
These people are nothing but scum.

It’s good to read these scams are being ignored. Action Fraud need as much information as possible about these thieves who say there’s a delivery charge for the free PCR tests.

This is from Gov.uk site link above:
RECOMMENDED STEP-BY-STEP ACTIONS TO TAKE
- Don’t Respond
- Report the SMS Scam to Action Fraud
- Forward the message to 7726 (‘SPAM’ on a keypad)

I had one last month and just deleted it.

I contacted NHS . Scam confirmed btw the NHS NEVER cite the variant
