Received text today telling me I am now eligible for a Covid pass. Looks like NHS but is a scam. Do not reply. They want your payment details.

Thanks for the warning.I recently had a notification that some texts had been identified as possible scams and not displayed in the usual way. When I looked at them, they were all from sources I'd previously labelled as scams other than this one which had been labelled automatically.

Thank you for posting. It doesn't take long for the lice of the Internet to show their unlovely presence does it?

I got this text too. I don’t usually get scams by text so it was a surprise.

I had this a while back, have to admit it was a "good" one and looked like a NHS text, even took you to a site that looked like the NHS site, I clicked ( I know 😬) as I was intrigued even though I knew it was a scam, anything that arrives from the "NHS" asking for money is a huge red flag of course. I also had one for LTF's recently..it was around the time they announced these would no longer be free, so easy to see if some people did get caught out by it ..scumbags!!
