Warning about scams perpetrated by fraudsters claiming to represent the NHS Coronavirus test and trace service.
Fletching Parish Council
Please find some useful information sent from East Sussex County Council regarding new advice developed by 'Which':
You can find the advice here: https://www.which.co.uk/news/2020/06/nhs-covid-19-contact-tracing-message-how-can-i-tell-if-its-real-or-a-scam/
The article gives some good guidance around how to spot these scams but just to highlight one of the crucial points is that the authentic test and trace website has the address ‘contact-tracing.phe.gov.uk/sign-in’. This should always be typed into the browser rather than following a link, which is likely a scam.
