Some of us can spot these a mile off.

Other, less computer literate (including mobile phone users) may not.

Yes the local nhs has been alerting people to text messages like this this
very week. I'm afraid that the crooks see no issue with fleecing the public
at any time, even an emergency.

They did it 'big time' during the war, so no change there.

Just checked, and the only email I've ever had from the NHS was one
telling me about Test and Trace and advising me to get the app.

I have had emails from my doctor (and hospital after asking them to - but
they have reverted to SMS)

I'm told the NHS doesn't think email secure enough, so only use it for
circulars.

I received confirmation of my jab appointments by email

Was the whole thing done by email? Offering you the appointment? And by
NHS direct, rather than your GP?

NHS England, Primary Care, sent me a letter telling me to book on line. A
week later, I had a phone call from my GP's practice, to check that I'd got
a booking.

Yes - that would be logical. The problem is scam emails where you click on
a link.

A scammer is unlikely to want to pay for printing and postage.
