Sick scammers are now using fake Covid test results to target vulnerable people with realistic-looking texts pretending to be from the HSE.
Gardai have taken numerous reports of a scam message which claims to the recipient that they are the close contact of a person with Covid-19. It then directs them to a link to 'purchase' a mandatory testing kit.
The HSE says it doesn’t charge for Covid-19 related services, this includes testing, and texts indicating otherwise should be ignored.
