Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Trace Notify scam text message below is just one of many being sent to potential victims by scammers asking them to click a link that goes to the fake NHS website: trace.uk-order-testkits .com. The Trace Notify text scams falsely claim the recipients have been in contact with a confirmed case of the latest variant and ask them to click a link to order a test kit via a fake and phishing NHS website.

Tracing Notification: You have been in contact with a confirmed case of the latest variant. Please order a free test-kit via: trace.uk-order-testkits.com/pcr.
