🚨 SCAM EMAIL ALERT – PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨
Fraud Alert: Phishing Emails Impersonating GP Practices
We have been made aware of a phishing scam targeting local patients by sending fraudulent emails that appear to come from GP practices. The message claims that “online access has been granted” and urges the recipient to take immediate action. In this case, the email was falsely signed as being from our Health Centre, but we are aware that other health centres have been targeted.
The email is not genuine and was not sent by the practice. It originates from the address [email protected], which has been linked to a wider phishing campaign affecting GP surgeries.
To keep yourself safe:
✅ Watch out for suspicious emails, which often ask you to take urgent action and direct you to click on links.
✅If you are not sure if your GP practice are trying to contact you, please call them on their usual number during their opening hours.
✅If you receive any suspicious emails, please send them to [email protected] where they can be investigated.
☎️If you think that you have shared your financial information with a scammer, please contact your bank straight away.
This is a scam domain and is not associated with our practice.
📩 Important: How genuine communications work
✔️ You will only ever receive emails about your NHS account directly from official NHS services
✔️ Any legitimate email from our practice will:
• Come from an .net email address
• Always include our official practice email signatures
If an email does not meet these criteria, please treat it as suspicious.
📩 If you receive one of these scam emails or texts:
🚫 Do not click any links
🚫 Do not reply
⏩ Forward it to: [email protected]
❌ Then delete it from your inbox
