Has anyone else received this?

[Thanksnhs]

I am just wondering if it is genuine.

[10gingercats]

Yes. I have just received it. Doubt it is genuine .

[Thanksnhs in reply to 10gingercats]

I was thinking that, especially when the amount to be paid was in dollars!

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Thanksnhs]

I took the survey but didn't get as far as $$$. I didn't fit the criteria. Can't remember what I clicked on but don't think they have got any information that would do them any good.

[10gingercats]

It has been constructed to make you believe it has come from BHS

[Thanksnhs]

I did at first,it does look quite genuine

[Hidden]

Hello

Sometimes HU ask us if we will do surveys and as this one does not look genuine it want's reporting to HU as I am sure they will want to know and put a stop to it

Glad you posted it so others that may get one will see it is not genuine x

[Thanksnhs in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for your reply I am not sure how to report it but I will look into it. if it was genuine it is the type of survey I would do as it looks like the type of thing I had but there is just something about it that didn't ring true.It makes you wonder what exactly they would hope to gain if it was filled out ! Char

[Hidden in reply to Thanksnhs]

I know it is a worry and so many on HU in different Communities that may have had it and thought it was genuine It is amazing what they can do with a few private details x

[080311]

Yes received it this morning looks very iffy, think maybe a scam!

[Qualipop in reply to 080311]

I got it too- deleted immediately

[Thanksnhs]

I must see how to report it x

[080311 in reply to Thanksnhs]

Can’t see it on the forum anymore,and I have deleted the email.

[Thanksnhs]

That's great the BHF must have seen it.I will delete it now x

[gilreid1]

I received and deleted immediately. After I noticed $ sign.

[Beatles1956 in reply to gilreid1]

Same here. Just didn't look right.

[MDR1]

Yes. Deleted it straight away.

[mathematics]

Yes have received it as well not answering it. Had a text from NHS about covid pass as well so unfortunately filled in details until got to part where it said it would be 4.99 and wanted my card details. Immediately rang Gp who said they would warn practise manager absolute scum.

[Thanksnhs in reply to mathematics]

Hi its ridiculous the amount of scams even worse when they are portraying to be about covid or medical conditions.just awful. Char

[JulianM]

I received it, was slightly puzzled, and deleted it, but my scam-detection skills clearly need boosting! Thanks, Thanksnhs, for the alert. You're clearly right, since any genuine request would be transparent about exactly where it is coming from, and this was anything but.

[Thanksnhs in reply to JulianM]

It's the first one I have seen that looked like it was from the BHF it's awful people doing this.at first I thought it was a real survey and I was going to take part thinking I might be of help.it just makes you angry char

[JulianM in reply to Thanksnhs]

Had it actually been from BHF, I know that it would have been much clearer about the aims of the study, from the outset. And, as others have said, $$$s would not have come up - indeed, I doubt any payment would have been mentioned before an explanation of exactly what commitment is being asked for.

[Thanksnhs in reply to JulianM]

Hi I will definitely watch out for anything like that in the future char

[Sparkeybigshot1]

I received it, and replied in no uncertain words that it was a scam, Our email details must have been stolen.

[Nadeje]

I received it, just skimmed over quickly, and noticed the $, it puzzled me...left it be...as I was in a hurry.So, thank you for posting this!!!! I also need to sharpen my scam radar, like JulianM 🤔

So, I have deleted it just now!!

I've had several scam texts up to now, all usually re: parcel which needs to be paid for, from 'Royal Mail', 'Hermes',and others...never ever click on the link in blue!!!

But this one on HU did look genuine 😱 one really has to be very vigilant these days!

I'm starting to feel like a participant in Squid Game on Netflix I've started to watch...🤔🤣

[Thanksnhs in reply to Nadeje]

Hi I was nearly taken in with it myself and I was going to actually fill it in! it was definitely the dollar sign that made me think twice.there are so many scams about just now you have to be so careful,it's just awful what people do.char

[gilreid1]

Another tip if in any doubt. Check all spelling. In this case healthunlocked.com has a capital H capital U. This is a common sign that it is a made up web page.

[Thanksnhs in reply to gilreid1]

Hi I never even noticed that, I will definitely check for it if I receive anything again char

[Tez666]

Scam 100%

[MelB51]

I had it also but deleted it. They must be targeting people with real health problems somehow?

[Thanksnhs in reply to MelB51]

It's shocking that they are now targeting sick or vulnerable people, awful.char

[Franksluckypants]

Similar. We’ve obviously had our information pinched from the genuine site here!

Would be nice to receive an explanation comment/ apologies from the administrators and/ or BHF.

[Thanksnhs in reply to Franksluckypants]

Hi that would definitely be a good idea for them and if they could possibly block things like that in the future char

[Cat04]

I've done it and got my voucher. You can choose from a selection of retailers, I chose Tesco and received £18.39 ($25) on an e-voucher or print it off.

The last one I did I got £25 for M&S.

The info requested is not very personal so I had no worries completing it.
