On Friday I received the following message, purportedly from the NHS:

We've noticed you haven't applied for your COVID pass, please follow the link to complete registration to avoid fees: (this is where the link would be)

It is true, I haven't applied for a Covid pass because I do not want one. So I did some follow up - it is a scam. See this for details.

I followed the link in a secure browser running in a separate sandbox and it is very convincing and many people will be sucked in, that's why I did not provide the link.

Please spread the word. Thanks.

Many thanks for that heads-up, Frank.

Many thanks for that heads-up, WM.

To the above two posts... Thank you, thank you.

Thanks Frank. It pays to be so careful these days!

Would you like me to make this an announcement, Frank. To keep it up at the too?

Not really Kaz. People can choose to read, or not. I just hope that any who do get the text message do not hit the link. According to Action Fraud this is a relatively new scam, that's why I brought it up.

The "Do not click - delete" mantra has been out there for years.

I got an official letter from the NHS at the beginning of June. I needed this to show I had had two vaccinations before I could board the ship for the
cruise sailing at the beginning of July 2021.
This was not a scam. The details of how to apply were sent by email from Royal Caribbean.
