NHS email scam: Residents across the country have reported being targeted by email fraudsters.

It asks them to click on a link inside the email which is part of a phishing scam, a way of tricking residents into giving out personal information. Essex Trading Standards said: We can confirm it is a scam and the links take you to a website that asks for financial details to pay for the vaccine.
