What you need to
look out for:
· Be aware of requests for personal
information in messages claiming to be from the NHS.
· Be alert to links or attachments in
unexpected messages claiming to be from the NHS.
· Do not respond to requests for money,
bank details or passwords. The NHS will NEVER ask for payment or any
financial details.
