Has anyone else received this
This morning I got a text message from
07874 219806
It said I had been in contact with someone with covid and had to order a pcr test
It gave me a link that looked like the NHS/ government website
When I clicked on it , it said the test was mandatory and although the test was free I would be charged 99p for postage .
This alerted me and I then googled the phone number. It said it was a personal number in a block by Telefonica.
It also said that several people had looked it up and calls from it had been reported today 18th July believed to be a scam. People who did not have the nhs track and trace app or had turned it off having received it .
I have blocked the number
