  1. This is not a HSE test! They’re free (well I ordered last week and wasn’t charged anything) and from https://covidservices.hse.ie/Scr100

    I’m fairly sure they aren’t even contact tracing unless your healthcare workers now, so they’re not texting people to get tested anymore

  2. Right let’s go from the top:

    You will not be contacted to get a test without reason. Close contact alerts will ask you to get a test or stay inside.

    Check the URL. Very suspicious to say the least. All HSE services will be from HSE.ie.

    All essential health services in Ireland are free due to them being payed for via taxes. This includes COVID related services. Just checked; they do not ask for card details.

    Overall, a scam.

  3. Lads can we please start using a bit of common sense around these texts? If the link is in anyway weird then it’s a scam. I’m getting worried about how many of these posts I’ve seen over the past few days.

  4. Obviously a scam. If you want to be safe and have your test sorted, dm your cards info and I’ll handle it for you.

    Sorted!

    Sorted!

  6. Mother of god would you take 2 seconds out of your life, look at the URL, and use a modicum of common sense to think whether that looks like a legitimate URL. No wonder scammers make a fortune
