Hi Everyone,

I want to share with you another example of how scammers are trying to exploit COVID and in particualr the rollout of the COVID vaccines.

There is a phishing email circulating in which claims to come from the NHS. The email states that you have been identified and selected to receive the COVID vaccination. You are encouraged to click on a link to book an appointment to receive your COVID vaccination.

This is a fake email so please don't click on any links. Follow this advice if you have received this email.

Forward the email to phishing@bt.com then delete it
If a suspicious link was clicked or attachment opened/downloaded then run a virus check on your computer
If bank details were given out then contact your bank immediately and change your online banking passwords
