Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending the fake Your PCR Order COVID Testing Kit Home scam text below to potential victims with a link to your-pcr-order .com. The aim of the Testing Kit Home text, which claims the recipients have been in close contact with someone who has recently tested positive, is to frighten and trick them into clicking the link. The link goes to a phishing website that steals personal and financial information.
From: 07759 129405NHS: You've came into contact with someone who has testinged positive for the Omircron Varient. Please order a Testing Kit: hxxps://your-pcr-order.com

On the phishing website, visitors will be asked to purchase a testing kit and will be asked for personal and financial information in order to do so. But, if the requested information is submitted, it will be sent to the scammers behind the fake text, who will use it fraudulently.
If you have been tricked into submitting your financial information at hxxps://your-pcr-order.com, please contact your bank for help.
