covid pass email scam

[mothhawk]

I've just received a very realistic looking email purporting to be from the NHS saying that a covid passport is now required by law, and a link to click on to apply. It looks very official, and the address and crown copyright bits are a nice touch, but I don't think that building surveyors would be issuing covid passes (hovered over the button to get the IP address).

So be careful folks!

Thanks for the heads up MH

Yes, thank you Moth!!

Details of how to officially get the passport are here.

It's a bit of a kerfuffle to download the app, presumably to make sure it is secure. However I have found it very useful for ordering repeat prescriptions.

Scams are abounding. Earlier today I forwarded three Paypal phishing emails spoof@paypal! If you check the actual email address it's obviously a scammer.
