Dyfed Powys Police Economic Crime\nTeam has become aware that criminals have been sending texts and emails and attempting\nto lure people to apply for the COVID-19 vaccine to take advantage of the\nvaccine roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC Gareth Jordan, from the Cyber Crime Unit, said: \u201cThe text is made to look like it comes from the NHS and states, \u2018we have identified that you are eligible to apply for your vaccine\u2019 <\/em>and advises you to follow a link to get more information and \u2018apply\u2019<\/em>. If you follow the link, you are taken to a convincing looking, but fake NHS website that asks for your personal details and requests bank\/card details to \u2018check your identity\u2019<\/em>. As with all scams, if you look a little closer, you will see it is not real. In this instance, note the URL is not www.nhs.uk\/<\/a> \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>It\u2019s not only texts, beware of cold calls and emails regarding the vaccine as scammers are also asking people to pay for it over the phone. Remember! \u2013 the vaccine is FREE of charge and there is no way to jump the queue by paying for a \u2018priority slot\u2019<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
