Action Fraud has issued a warning about scam text messages pretending to be from the NHS which have swindled Brits out of more than half a million pounds in two months.
The UK's cyber crime reporting service is urging people to watch out for the messages and be wary of texts asking for personal or financial information.
Action Fraud says 412 people have been victims to the scams since January 1. In total, they have lost more than £531,000 - an average of nearly £1,300 each.
