Completely fake! DO NOT TRUST THE GREEN COMMENTS HERE AS THEY ARE POSTED BY THE SCAMMERS The NHS will never send a text from an unidentified account, such as a text from an unknown phone number! Check the official NHS website, which states the following: "Be wary of spam texts or emails that may appear to come from a health or care organisation. Your health and care organisation will always clearly identify themselves in any email or text message."

It is crucial to disregard this number, as it poses a threat to safety; the claim of being from the HHS and the request for personal details, including date of birth, are red flags - deleting the message is recommended

The text message appears to be a scam, using an NHS appointment as a ruse
