Had an email informing me I had to apply for a Covid Pass or will be fined if I don’t.
Appears to be from NHS but on looking at it you are informed it will cost £1.99 and asks you to put in your Bank details. I didn’t as it must be a scam.
Please be aware of this as it does appear to be from NHS and if not careful you could be caught out.

Of course it is a scam. Do these scammers have any conscience? ?
The onus is on you to apply, definitely in Scotland, you will not be asked to by email to apply. I wonder how many people are fooled.

However, it took me two days to get the NHS Scotland app working and I'm very IT literate, knew my CHI number and already had an NHS account.

Heaven help people who, who find things like this difficult.

I got a text saying the same thing. I ignored it, but evidently you can report them. It seems there’s a scam every time something new comes out.

Nanabanal, sorry, my reply sounds abrupt, not meant to be. I just get really angry at the vultures, who prey on people.

Phone 119 and get a paper Covid Pass for free or download the App.
