Police are dealing with a number of “absolutely abhorrent” scams involving the coronavirus vaccine.
Fraudsters are sending out emails to people which, at first glance, ask them to make appointments to receive their jab from the NHS.
However, on closer inspection, that is not the case.
Sergeant Colin Scott said: “There are links on the emails that will no doubt lead to information gathering and even possibly payment requests. These emails look very official but are not genuine.
“I have contacted the NHS who confirm that any vaccine appointments will be made by letter.
“Appointments will not be made by email or text. The NHS will not make any charge and already have your details.
“It is absolutely abhorrent that criminals are trying to take advantage of this terrible pandemic.”
