Message from Community Safety Team on behalf of Leicestershire Police - Please be aware of the below type of scam text message circulating regarding the new Covid19 vaccines. Sadly fraudsters don't care about who they take advantage of - and the fear around the Covid-19 pandemic is no exception.

PLEASE share this warning to make others aware.

NHS will NEVER require you to give any financial details. The vaccine through NHS is a free service, there are no charges. #DontBeDuped.

REMEMBER the golden rule! NEVER click on links in texts or emails.

ALWAYS report suspicious texts messages by forwarding to 7726 - it helps get fake pages down to protect others.
