Scamming - Fraud
Telephone numbers 07851484978, 07845020989 and 07845038629 are being used by scammers to send NHS Omicron text scam messages with a link to the phishing website: health-care-uk.com. The scam texts will claim recipients have been in contact with someone who has the Omicron variant and they must order a free PCR testing kit at health-care-uk.com. But, if potential victims visit the phishing website and submit their personal and financial information in an attempt to order the so-called test kit, it will be used fraudulently by the scammers.
NHS: You have been in contact with someone who has the Omicron Variant. You must order a free PCR testing kit here: hxxps://health-care-uk.com
The domain health-care-uk.com was registered or created 3 days ago and it's Whois information shows it was registered by an individual in China, not by the UK government.

Text from 07713771977
I also got a call on 7857908524, these scammers should be closed down by government, but then they the government are useless
I’ve just had a text from 447857 968461SayingYou've been exposed to someone with COVlD-19 (Omicron). PIease, continue to visit the heaIth care website to obtain a free PCR test: health-care-uk.com Which I knew to be wrong as I’ve not been anywhere to be exposed. I’ve also got a message with regards to paying shipping fees for a courier delivery or I won’t get the order. This was sent from 447927 179235Which again screams scammers, the sender pays the couriers fees. This could easily catch someone out. I’d love to know who’s shared our numbers or where have they got them from, how have they known which courier was expected to do a delivery
07857908524 is also part of this scam.
I got a message from 07713734094. The only thing that made me stop and do a google-check is that I haven't actually left the house in two weeks, so I was trying to figure out who the h**l I might have had contact with to trigger this warning. The link in my text did not start with hxxps:// so it didn't look strange.
I received the message this morning from the number ending in 1977. Glad this website exists so we can find out what is OK or not.
Another number, 07713771977. I fell for it!
