New email scam - NHS Vaccine Passport
Discussion
Just got this email - bet some will fall for it, despite the less than perfect wording and dodgy sender's email address.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination - N H S
Dear xxxxxxxxx.com ,
The COVID-19 travel certificate has been created in a bid to restore the freedom of travel,
which has been put at a halt for over a year now, since the pandemic erupted all over the block.
Through the certificate, the Commission intends to remove travel restrictions as entry bans, quarantine obligation, and testing.
Those holding such a document will be able to travel throughout Europe without the need to quarantine or test for COVID-19
The Passport will be issued to all those who have been fully vaccinated against the Coronavirus, with one of the four vaccines approved by the National Medicine Agency, which are:
AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
The certificate will prove that its holder has been vaccinated while also containing additional information on the vaccine, as when the doses were administered, who is the manufacturer, etc.

As someone who has used the internet for 30 years. I have a built in filter for this sort of stuff, why people think it's remotely legit is beyond me.
You're right, me too. Ive noticed my kids hardly use email at all, it is all text, whatapp etc etc. Once these scams move there (they are there already i am sure) they may be far harder to spot, just due to the reduced "info" that is available from an email (fonts, language, links etc).

Watch out for the old people you know - my late FIL terrified us when he got an iPhone and he would have prodded away at that, as he did with pretty well every other scam, that appeared on his phone. Only his inability to correctly enter his 16 digit card number saved him on a number of occasions.
