I received a text this morning to my non-smart phone.
NHS-UK Health Department
''We have been notified you have been in close contact with a confirmed Omicron case.
You must book a PCR test kit''
With a dot com address to order it from, I've assumed this is a phishing scam and forwarded the details
to the text number in this link.

Anyone else had one of these ? I assume they're after bank details.

Which?

Thanks for that Jonathan, most informative.
I didn't see how my non-smart phone could be linked to the track and trace system, which was what aroused my suspicions

And thanks for posting about your experience Colin. A timely reminder that whenever there's cause for concern, there are those who will try to exploit it.
