Warning as NHS email about digital coronavirus passport circulates in new scam
The email claims to be from the NHS and asks for people to apply for a ‘Digital Coronavirus Passport’. Police are urging people to be cautious of the email and others like it that may be circulating, especially noting the risks of clicking any links in them and giving over any personal details.
As reported by Devon Live, it contains a link which takes you to a fake NHS website, where it then asks for personal information and payment details – allegedly for an admin fee.
The website also included information on who is apparently eligible for the passport and how to obtain a physical certificate.
Its circulation has prompted police to warn people to beware of the email scam and others like it.
In February, a similar fraudulent Covid email was sent to some UK residents, telling people they had been selected for a jab “on the basis of family genetics and medical history”.
