SCAM SUSPICIOUS THINK FRAUD This is a reminder that you have an ultrasound appointment at ****** University Hospital on ****25 at **** Reply REBOOK 1184 if you would like to reschedule this appointment or reply CANCEL 1184 if the appointment is no longer required and you would like to be discharged. Please respond within 3 days. You can see your appointment letter online (website)If you fail to attend your appointment you may be discharged back to your GP. THE LINK ASK FOR EMAIL & D.o.b SC

This user has great difficulty with keyboards needs paper communication to continued.

No NHS appt booked so not sure why I received it, asking for d.o.b for a hospital miles away.

I received a text at 16: 01pm on 21/03/24 the text said it was an outpatient digital communication from a local NHS Trust ASKING ME TO OPT IN VIA THE LINK AND WITH THE PIN and your DOB TO ACCESSS YOUR APPOINTMENT ONLINE, I suspected it was the usual BS scam and i later rang the number and it said that this phone number is not recognised please check and try again.

I received a text from this saying I was still on the list for spinal surgery, which I'm not and to text to them yes or no if I wanted to stay on. I didn't of course as I've never had back appointments!

I called the NHS appointment checker number. I do not have an appointment on the day the reminder stated. This is bizarre as normally my appointment reminders say NHS or the GP name.

Have received 2 texts from this number. The first was an appointment reminder for NHS, time and date of which was correct. However, the second text told me I had a digital letter to view and I needed to login in with the PIN provided and my DOB using the link in the text. It goes to a dodgy looking "NHS" website. You don't need the correct DOB to "login", only the PIN they gave you. Proper NHS portal requires your surname and postcode to login.

This is a genuine number. I have received numerous reminders of Dental Appointments on it and today a hospital appointment reminder. I was puzzled by the fact the same number generated very different appointments but it is genuine. Only the hospital ward and I know of the details and they are correct.

I received a message telling me about a hospital appointment but I have not had any connection with needing an appointment for anything. I have not responded as do not have an iPhone or Apps.

Appears to be genuine, knew which department I was waiting to hear from despite no prior history with this number. Nothing that asked me for my details

The amount of scammers posting on these sites claiming their scam numbers are legitimate NHS communications or whatever they’re pretending to be is outrageous.

It was regarding my appointment and the details were correct

It’s an NHS appointment reminder portal

NHS appointments portal. Not phishing or scamming in my case.

I never made an appointment, seems sketchy

It says "We have tried to contact you for a new patient exam as you are on our NHS waiting list. Please contact the practice within 7 DAYS to become registered. After this time we may not be able to offer you an appointment. Please disregard this message if you already have an appointment booked. /r" its weird bc no one has tried to contact me and i rang the practice they have nothing to say either??

I receivmessage from this number which contained knowledge of my appointments but hospital no nothing about them being sent out,

They text me saying I had an appointment on a date I didn’t have one but the did mention the hospitals in my region. Another message telling me to log into my nhs portal with a link. I believe this is the genuine number for the nhs but I think that scammers are also using this number but Not sure if this is possible

Most probably a scam; twice they've messaged me saying I have an appointment that I dint make, for a medical problem I don't have, in a clinic 3 hours away from where I live. In the text they say that if I don't text to cancel and don't attend my appointment it costs the NHS a minimum of £160. Probably a scam.

It's NOT a scam you plonkers, it's nhs confirming your appointment which was genuine to what I had

Claiming to be the nhs as a scam

Agreed it is definitely not a scam. Received message today it's confirming my hospital appointment for week

Definitely not a scam. Received message today it's confirming my hospital appointment

Got two texts. One telling me that I had a covid jab with Eugen Covaci on 31st October Then another said the same, 1 min after, saying the date was 4th July!! Got to be fake!

Is what it says it is

I called the hospital to double check it was a real appointment and all the details in the text were correct.

Checked with hospital as I was unsure but this is genuine.

Claims to say they have received c9vid 19 result but won't tell me the result as normal process. Don't trust the provided link

This must be an NHS number - previously received details of NHS dentist appointments from this number but today received a text saying from Tameside Hospital... But for someone else, not me (and I don't live anywhere near there). Tried to reply to the text but just received an auto response saying they didn't recognise my response. No links so presume safe.

Been texting me for a year as a dentist to only text me this morning as the police! Definitely a targeting hacker/scammer! Police should look into this!

This is an automatic NHS number. You get a message from them when you have booked an appointment.

Text related confirming a future nhs phone appointment, double checked my NHS app and the same appointment/date/time etc was shown, so a genuine text. Perhaps the company that sends the texts need to smarten up the presentation to make it look less like a scam. For me it was genuine, after I sent the reply I received a further text confirming receipt and that they were looking forward to seeing me.

Fake text read: You have a digital letter from ((Hospital name near me here)) Hospital regarding your outpatient appointment. Please log in to the following link with the PIN 2178 and your DOB on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC. Thank you

Had text from this number confirming an appointment

Given information how to book my physio appt hat my local hospital

I got a message from this number this morning that my hospital appointment today was cancelled. I thought it was fake at first so I called the hospital and they confirmed they did send the message.

Says it's a radiology appointment from UCLH. Even though it is a hospital I will be going to soon it's not the right appointment and I do not require radiology. Says to reply to text or call a different number. I do not trust it

Genuine call. Followed link and it was an appointment for me.

NHS texts have nhs heading not the telephone number and if not responded to should be followed by a letter. I have been getting these for months and no letters have followed. Don't engage!

+447786209254 Number is Fake NHS test massage you have been connected omicron flow the link they said no flow any link they are scammers.

Fake NHS text asking to complete survey- don’t click!

NHS fake text it’s a scam

People you need to be aware, I have been hacked via email and from there everywhere else, they can find out every single detail from your life, even that you are expecting app at the hospital! This has happened to me and still is happening, who knows when I will sort this out, nearly a nervous breakdown

Why can't they state who they are in the text? It's frustrating to have to search to find out that it's a genuine number. I am only just doing something with a text received on 7th March, and the text could have been needing a prompt response.

It is a genuine nhs text but they really should send letters first, rather than just a text doesn't look genuine but it is

Genuine text from NHS - Enter DOB and pin to access appointment letters etc. Also gives you the option to Confirm/cancel/change too.

It is my hospital reminding me of an upcoming appointment and to confirm that I’m attending

This is a hospital appointment confirmation text I was waiting for. The message was including my hospital name, what treatment I have now and the actual phone number. No strange link in the text. You text back either YES, REBOOK, CANCEL with the numbers in the text.

This number sent me a text msg cancelling an appointment I had!! For a specific clinic and on the exact same day!!!?

Scam text messages from genuine senders begin with their name I.e. NHS or HSBC not a telephone number.

Text saying patient portal, requesting me to follow link, PIN and dob. A worry as I am dealing with his at the moment

I received this today and although it looked like a real appointment, it was definitely a scam.

Genuine text asking you to confirm an appointment time. I agree it looks dodgy being a random mobile no. But it is genuine.

The link took me to an https secured site once i entered pin code, was from nhs hospital appointmnets to confirm i still required the appointment.

I’ve had a message saying it’s from local council they need to talk to me regarding my COVID positive test and to answer the 08008403538 number, I think I’ll give it a pass after reading all these messages

Totally fake! DO NOT BELIEVE GREEN COMMENTS ON HERE AS THEY ARE PERPETRATED BY THE SCAMMERS The NHS will never text from an unidentified account i.e. Text coming from a phone number you do not recognize! Check the government NHS website as it states the quoted text below:- "Be careful of spam texts or emails that might come from people posing as a health or care organization. Your health and care organization will always make it clear that the email or text message is from them and w

Was convinced it was a scam because normally says NHS at the top of phone, but after reading the comments on here i went back unblocked it to check it out, to my surprise it was genuine and i have a follow up hospital appointment i didn't know about lol

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS NUMBER, IT IS NOT SAFE. THEY SAY ITS FROM THE HHS AND THEY ASK YOU TO PUT IN A NUMBRER THAT IS IN THE TEXT AND THEY REQUIRE YOUR DATE OF BIRTH, ETC WHATEVER YOU DO DELETE THAT TEXT MESSAGE. DONT BE TEMPTED TO GO ANY FURTHER WITH IT

Some kind of scam text. NHS appointment ruse.

If this was genuine then why is the link http (not https)?! If it is NHS, then let the NHS know that they can't use dodgy suppliers operating from an airbnb in Bangalore. Communications from the NHS, whether NHS themselves or their suppliers, should look decent and reliable. For example, a recent text to book a covid vaccine has a link for https://www.nhs.uk (note the s in https, it stands for SECURE, nobody uses http anymore). Those users here who said it was legit either were directed to a co

As many others have said it is a genuine number used by the company providing the NHS texting service for appointment reminders, today mine is for dental appointment next week. 100% GENUINE

NHS appointment I was expecting. 100% safe text for me

Firstly I tought it was spam or worst and showed to my GP receptionist who could not recognise it. She told me if the message come from them its headline always starting with HMMG. As my message is started with different headline it called Patient Portal digital letter invitation from Stockport NHS Fundation Trust, I believed it was spam. However, when I opened this message, after immediately recognised it was my pending legit hospital appointment. The letter was asked me to confirm if I can

This is a hospital appointment confirmation text. You text back either YES, REBOOK, CANCEL. It’s to help with missed/unwanted appointments. The text i received included the correct hospital name and hospital trust, correct department name and date and time of my upcoming appointment. So I replied with confidence.

This is legit. Was my appointment for dental hospita

I had ignored these messages previously due to comments here but it turns out to be legitimate

Ive have received the same messages on here saying reply yes, one of my children have and appointment that day so assumed it was for that so replied? Has anyone else replied and what happened when you did thanks

SAME HERE, GOT A TEXT SAYING I HAD TO FOLLOW THE LINK TO MY NHS APPOINTMENT IN ACTON!! THESE SAMMERS ARE THE XXXXX OF THE EARTH AND SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR GOOD🤬🤬🤬

Text said... You have a XXXXX appt on 20/09/21 at 14: 10 Princess Royal University Hospital. REPLY: YES 1692 to confirm attendance, REBOOK 1692 to rearrange or txt CANCEL 1692 if appt no longer needed. Missed appointments cost the NHS £160. Thanks for your support. What is wrong with these vermin, some of us do have genuine health problems and being scammed out of money is the last thing we need 😡

Has all the signs of a scam, but is safe. I genuinely thought this was a scam, and didn't question that until I reread it out loud to someone days later and realised it was from an NHS foundation trust that I had recently received care and a letter from. My phone flagged it as spam too, it was from an unknown mobile number (most NHS numbers typically come up as some form of 'NHS' or a private number), and contained a link in the message that it was implied I should click through (usually

Message inviting login to NHS Portal, verified by DOB and PIN to view a new communication. Accessed legitimate appointment letter for a telephone consultation in September. I was suspicious of it, but turns out it was ok. Whether there are any messages spoofing the same number, I cannot say.

State had optician appointment and should reply with code to cancel..... Definitely a scam

Confusing. Received a text saying my 2nd covid jab was cancelled and to rebook through NHS website. When checking my booking it hasn't been cancelled at all. Very odd.

Received a text from this number stating I have a hospital appointment but it doesn’t say what for or which hospital it’s at. My Dr doesn’t know anything about it & I don’t know how to find out where it’s at 😵‍💫

It is an NHS digital appt number

They said I had an appointment with NHS in an hospital not even near my house and the missed appointment cost to the NHS £160. They asked to "text yes" if I could attend. I don't think NHS asks this.

Looks like a scam but isnt

Yup just had a very authentic looking text. However not on a waiting list so knew it was a scam.

I received the same message about amedical appointment. It’s a scam

Just had this text - very similar to others reported- however this is bi-lingual in Welsh/English as is the requirement in Wales. Have no hospital appts pending. Very suspicious will not be calling back

This is the message from this number: You have an appt on 07/06/21 at 15: 35 Kings Mill Hospital. REPLY: YES to confirm attendance, REBOOK to rearrange or txt CANCEL if appt no longer needed. Missed appointments cost the NHS £160. Thanks for your support

Had a text re appointment said to click on nhs website to take you to patient portal which was at bottom of page then use pin no which was in text & enter DOB. I called the hospital first & was told that the gynecology department where testing/using this method of contact & it was safe they had had sever calls asking the same question today. So it is safe, takes you through to your letters.

Patient Portal Digital digital outpatient letter invitation... Providing a PIN but also requiring to click on link and provide DOB... Not sure?

Said my vaccine was canceled and I'd receive further notification from the national booking service. Nothing further received on this cancellation. Confusing and worrying

Saying they were from the booking centre for vaccines. Said my vaccine was cancelled and I had to re book

Asked me to confirm an appointment in Stockport with my DOB and a PIN. I don't live in Stockport?

Asked for me to reply with a pin number to confirm attending an appointment. Says from Lister Hospital in Stevenage.

Just received a neutral message from this number saying my "General Surgery apt will be conducted as a telephone consultation" and was offered different numbers to enter as a reply. I have nothing booked and will ignore.

Tried messaging me to tell my my covid vacine was booked for a time and date and if it wasn't convenient then to reply back to them with a specific number.

Message on phone apologising that HERMES couldn’t deliver today & the driver would attempt to re deliver, just to pay £1. 45 fee!! Not expecting a delivery I don’t think Hermes charge for a rescheduled delivery.... SCAM

Genuine text confirming my appointment, Asked for DOB and a pin provided in the text

I am getting messages from my dentist and from a London hospital from that number. I suspect this may be an NHS number for notifications only?

Recently got message "please do not attend hospital. Please reply 'YES 7368' to confirm appt, 'REBOOK 7368' to rearrange or reply 'CANCEL 7368' if appt no longer needed." I tried to call back on this number but heard "this number is not available' It's like a scam as there's no hospital name... Not sure

“Bucks NHSCommunity paediatrics dept will be in contact with you this week. We are calling to make sure we have the most up to date information. Do not reply”

I received an SMS from this number to remind me on an appointment with the hospital. It started the options of not doing anything to continue the appointment or reply to reschedule. The information of the SMS correlated with the date and time of an official letter from a local health board a week later.

Several messages received providing a PIn to log in with DOB but states incorrect then received another

Patient Portal digital letter East Lancs hospitals NHS Trust, Gives pin and link, No option to text stop to opt out, Still asking for DOB. Looks like a scam.

Text message reading: "Your Audiology TELEPHONE appt is scheduled for 26/02/21 at 11:30. Reply 'YES 3830' to confirm, 'REBOOK 3830' to rearrange. If the appt is not required reply 'CANCEL 3830' to be discharged. Please ensure you're in a quiet, Confidential space with access to your up to date prescription list. To opt out reply STOP." Then a follow up message reminding me on my appointment. Strange thing is I actually am in the process of having audiology appointment. My hospital confir
