Peterborough Police re-issue COVID vaccine scam warning
Cambridgeshire police have re-issued a warning about conmen trying to trick residents by claiming to be from the NHS and asking for money for the COVID vaccine.
Police across the region have received a number of reports of the scam - which normally involves a text message or phone call.
A spokesman for the force said: "We’re still receiving worrying reports of fraudsters sending text messages claiming to be from the NHS and stating the recipient must pay for their Covid vaccine.
"Covid vaccines are free and this is a scam."
An example of the scam invites people who receive the text message to follow links, where they are asked to pay money.
