There seems to be a very cruel and sick scam started.

People are getting phone calls supposedly from T & T NHS, telling people to self isolate and asking for money for a quick Covid Test

If you look up the number on Google under Scams the number/s have been reported and logged as scamming number/s

Wow - how quick are they! I wish they’d apply their cunning and ingenuity to making good things happen and not for lining their own pockets!

I cannot understand if it’s possible to check to see if the number is a scam why can’t the service providers/police just stop the telephone accounts?
