Eastleigh Borough Council has been made aware of a COVID 19 vaccination scam.
There have been reports of a new scam where a person receives a text saying they need to book a vaccination appointment and it takes them to a fake NHS form which then asks for their bank details to prove their identity.
Please be aware that the NHS will never ask for a person’s banking information so please do not provide any as it will be a scam.
The advice is simple, if you receive a text asking you for your bank details to book a vaccination appointment please delete it.
You can report any fraud online or on 0300 123 2040.
