    Currently there is a scam NHS PCR test text being sent to mobile phones.
    It’s saying that PCR test is free but mandatory so you have to order it but just have to pay £9.99 postage.
    Don’t open the link or any bank details on the phone will be hacked.
    Just delete it.

    Received one about 10 days ago. Clicked the link, stupidly, and took me to a site called nhrs.com which when I looked it up had * all to do with the NHS.

    Asking for bank details to do a test. Unscrupulous, bottom feeding *.

    I know these are more aimed at the older demographic etc to scare them, but if your daft enough to believe you need a mandatory PCR for no reason AND you need to pay for it then you maybe shouldn’t have a mobile phone in the first place.

    That's a really * attitude to have. As you say it's aimed at scaring the older demographic, most scams are. The people falling for it aren't necessarily stupid, just scared.

    Scared of what though?

    If you believe a random text message that tells you to need to pay for a random PCR test for no reason what so ever, then proceed to put your bank details into a website…. I couldn’t give a * if it’s a * attitude or not. It’s * stupid whether your old or young.

    Scared of getting ill, many would have been left scarred from the lockdowns.

    And many if not all of those will also have been vaccinated, boosted and whatever else.

    As I said, I understand who it is aimed at, but it’s stupid regardless.
