I hope that they do not catch out too many unaware, vulnerable people with this. They are truly disgusting to target people in this way.
ReplyDeleteOne hardly knows who to trust these days.
DeletePirate had a personal phone call from our local surgery, I received the blue envelope letter..all genuine.
ReplyDeleteThese scams must be publicised..good for you
I cannot express how much a detest these people!
DeleteI did get an email from a local pharmacy that we had signed up for the Covid vaccine. It was legitimate. However, we had already gotten our first shot. Our county also sends us weekly emails on the status and availability of the vaccine. Everything is being done through email both legitimately and by scammers so one has to be very, very careful.
ReplyDeleteThe scam invitations are all exactly the same, as they are sent by the millions. The genuine ones would usually mention the name of a pharmacy or doctor's surgery. I suppose this is the only way we can tell the difference. The Email address is usually a give-away too.
DeleteJust curious on what tipped you that it was a scam? After looking it over, they certainly did do a great job of looking official.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the actual one I received (I deleted mine too quickly). Mine had an Email address in Japan which seemed odd, and the bit about 'genetics and medical history' also seemed strange. No mention was made of any doctor's surgery.
DeleteI find it hard to accept that there are some people who sit and wait for new opportunities with which to scam innocent people, but there seem to be a heck of a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteSCUM. No more, no less!
DeleteI can see why one might think it's real (if one didn't see the email address) but apart from the genetics (??) they are not saying where or when. Presumably if you click on either of the links there is some scam action. I'm curious as to what.
