Another scam this time about covid

I received one today, so thanks for the heads up, but how do you know it's fake?

Do you mean this one Sally?
The official NHS one?
Why do you think it’s fake and a scam?

There is a genuine NHS app, I've downloaded it, which one are you referring to, Sallywally1?

yes, this is a bit confusing.
OP, please can you tell us more about it, and why do you think it's a scam
i've heard of people being refused admission to pubs/ hotels unless they download it; but what if you haven't got that type of phone.

I had this email yesterday and tried to download it but stopped when I realised You have to have your data and bluetooth switched on permanently when you are out of the house. I am on PAYG and refuse to use my phone to store banking details.
I guess this means I can not enter restaurants and pubs, so be it, we are in lockdown anyway.

harrigan there is no cost associated with the app, neither does it drain the battery?

I got a text with just a link. I assumed it was a fake, as I have had three so far from different sources. I am probably wrong, so perhaps GN should delete this thread? Sorry!

Sally I think you were probably right to be wary.
I would never open a link from a text.
I got an email from the NHS & got the app from the App Store.

I was in a restaurant the other day and hadn’t yet downloaded the ap. I simply wrote my name and number on a piece of paper. I wasn’t turned away.
