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
>is this a scam?
Ah lads…..
Never click on links in texts… Or emails… Ever…
Come on 🤣
Scam! It’s doing the rounds
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.
That’s legit
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.
2.39€… we ain’t on the mainland….
HSE wouldn’t be accepting AmEx payments
Fuck sake, they don’t mail out pcr test kits, they only do that at the testing centres.
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!

It’s no wonder scams are so common.
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
That’s not the HSE site. The URL is a dead give away.

Yes! Do not put in your details
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
