Vaccine Passport Scam Alert

 

The Cyber Crime Unit has been made aware of a Covid Vaccine Passport scam email (pdf) going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their “Digital Coronavirus Passports”

 

See above image [click to view enlarged].

 

Clicking on the link takes you to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details. (for an admin fee)

 

The website has since been taken down, but in case similar emails/websites appear to remain vigilant.


Just to reiterate, your vaccination status is obtained FREE through the NHS App, website or by calling the NHS on 119.

 

More information can be found on the gov.uk website;
