One person received the message yesterday (Saturday) at 2.35am, and remarked that “so many people must have been scammed through this” owing to its convincingness.
Christine Bovill, a singer, received one at 5.38am on Saturday “asking for card details”, while another said their son had received one last week.
The two numbers have collectively had nine reports just today, all indicating an NHS Covid scam.
On Friday, author Marika Cobbold was sent a similarly-worded text, from “Trace Alerts”.
