Action Fraud has issued a stark warning about scam text messages pretending to be from the NHS which have swindled Brits out of more than half a million pounds in just eight weeks.
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 and in total, they have lost more than £531,000 - an average of nearly an eye-watering £1,300 each.
