Some of us can spot these a mile off.
Other, less computer literate (including mobile phone users) may not.

Yes the local nhs has been alerting people to text messages like this this very week. I'm afraid that the crooks see no issue with fleecing the public at any time, even an emergency. Brian
They did it 'big time' during the war, so no change there.
Just checked, and the only email I've ever had from the NHS was one telling me about Test and Trace and advising me to get the app.
I have had emails from my doctor (and hospital after asking them to - but they have reverted to SMS)
I'm told the NHS doesn't think email secure enough, so only use it for circulars.
I received confirmation of my jab appointments by email
Was the whole thing done by email? Offering you the appointment? And by NHS direct, rather than your GP?
NHS England, Primary Care, sent me a letter telling me to book on line. A week later, I had a phone call from my GP's practice, to check that I'd got a booking.
Yes - that would be logical. The problem is scam emails where you click on a link.
A scammer is unlikely to want to pay for printing and postage.
