Scammers are sending texts claiming to be from Health and Social Care in relation to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Recipients are being given a link and asked to click on it and enter bank details.
The Department of Health says this is a scam and it is asking people to be vigilant.
SCAM ALERT: We are aware of texts claiming to be from HSC about the Covid19 vaccine which asks for bank account details via a link.
You will NEVER be asked for bank details by anyone in HSC.
Please SHARE & check on vulnerable/ elderly who may be an easy target for this scam. pic.twitter.com/mEER8dk7kk
