With many of us anxious to get that all important Covid-19 vaccine, we're being urged not to be taken in by an email scam.

The email appears genuine and claims you've been selected to receive a coronavirus vaccination.

Wiltshire Trading Standards say the URL leads to a copycat URL that asks for your personal details, including your bank/card details.

Both the organisation and the NHS stress the vaccine is FREE and you will NOT be asked for payment from an official contact.

Anyone who receives a dodgy e-mail is urged to forward it to report@phishing.gov.uk for further investigation.

If you have lost money, you should tell your bank and report it as a crime to Action Fraud.
