We have been contacted colleagues in the East Midlands about a patient who received a text message purporting to be from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).
The message stated that after some further analysis, the blood test that the patient had recently had showed signs that she had possible cancer and attached a table of the results. It is believed that the file can do damage to the phone / computer or strip out personal details. It also said to contact your GP.
The text message is a scam. There is more information on the NICE website http://www.nice.org.uk/
