Scamming - Fraud
The fake NHS text below from 07306595192, which claims recipients must obtain an NHS test kit by clicking the link in it, is a scam. The link will take potential victims to a phishing website where they will be asked for £3.99 postage for the test kit, but the NHS site states they will never ask for bank/card details.
NHS: You've been in contact with someone who has COVID-19. You must order a PCR-Testing Kit here: hxxps://nhs.uk.pcrkit-invoice.com (even if you're vaccinated).
If you have received the fake NHS text, please do not click the link in it. Just post it in a comment below along with the telephone number it came from. This will help alert others.

Received exactly the same text on 27/10/21. Clearly a Scam.
I received the same text yesterday, quoting 7 days for self isolation and the same link to obtain a PCR test kit. I didn't open the link.
