Scammers are circulating this Covid-19 'home testing' text message to try and gain access to Scots homes.
Trading Standards Scotland has issued a warning after the bogus message - appearing to be from the NHS - asks homeowners to go into a separate room while a testing team enter their house.
It said: "This is an attempt by fraudsters to gain entry to your home."
The text specifies a date and time for the visit and says the "team" will telephone the recipient upon arrival.
The text states that the team "will enter your property and we will remain inside the front door to put on our protective clothing".
It adds: "You must wait in a separate room before we come to you."
Katherine Hart, a Lead Officer for Doorstep Crime at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, issued a warning over the text.
She said: "This is simply an attempt by thieves to gain access to people's homes under cover of coronavirus measures. Members of the public should ignore these text messages and report them to Action Fraud in England and Wales, or to Police Scotland if in Scotland."
NHS Test and Trace will never ask you for financial details, PINs or passwords. They will also never visit your home.
To report instances of scam texts, emails, or other suspected scam messages, go to the Action Fraud website, or call Police Scotland on 101.
You can also report suspicious texts by forwarding the original message to 7726, which spells SPAM on your keypad.
