ALERT: Cervical smear scam text messages
posted by: Jonathan Shaw
We have received reports today of a possible scam. Some women are being contacted by text message, claiming to be from the call and recall service to advise they are overdue for their cervical screening (smear test). The message asks them to call a mobile number and provide personal details.
These messages are not from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.
Please do not disclose any personal information if you receive one of these messages.
The Action Fraud Line has been contacted.
