I think I have received a scam phone call, email or text message inviting me to book my COVID-19 vaccine. What should I do?

If you receive a call that you think is a scam, end the call by hanging up immediately. 

If you are concerned or suspicious about an email you have received, please forward the email to report@phishing.gov.uk so these scams can be identified and stopped. More information can be found at Avoid and report internet scams and phishing: Report internet scams and phishing - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If you are concerned or suspicious about a text message you have received, please forward the text message to the number 7726 (which spells out SPAM on a telephone keypad). This is free of charge. 

When you forward the suspicious message, you will receive a reply asking for the number which sent you the text. Action Fraud will follow this up with your mobile phone provider. 

If you think you are a victim of fraud, please report this to Action Fraud as soon as possible by calling 0300 123 2040 or visiting www.actionfraud.police.uk

Please make sure your GP has your up-to-date contact details so they can contact you to have the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as appropriate.
