Social Security Scotland is completely legitimate, not a con at all!

It seems there's been a mix-up with my information during the Covid testing research. My GP, being my sole NHS contact, has inexplicably recorded me as 'Ms' instead of 'Mrs'. It’s rather puzzling how they’ve obtained my details in this manner!

I received a letter from the NHS regarding a research study on COVID-19, and it included the number 08001577818. Just wanted to share this as it seemed a bit unusual. Has anyone else had similar correspondence?

I received a letter regarding a call from this number, mentioning the NHS at Imperial College London concerning a research study on COVID-19 testing by Ipos Mori. They’re inviting participation in a study labelled React.

I received a letter from this number, supposedly linked to the NHS at Imperial College London regarding the IOPros Mori study. It was an invitation to participate in research for the React COVID-19 testing project.

I received a letter from the NHS back in March 2021 that featured this number. Is it genuine or just a trick?

I just got a rather dubious message from this number claiming they’d dispatched a swab test to me. They urged me to click on their link or give their 0800 number a ring. I wasn’t taken in, though; instead, I checked the genuine website and noticed their contact number was entirely different. So, I've now blocked that number.

Seems like there's a bit of a swindle going on with that COVID letter. I had a look at the websites mentioned, and they just redirect to completely unrelated pages, including domains for sale and some gaming sites. Quite dodgy if you ask me!

I received a letter suggesting that I give them a call, but I'm rather uncertain if it's genuinely trustworthy or just another scam warning.

This number is actively in use for an NHS study related to COVID. If you require assistance with the study, feel free to give them a ring; it's a legitimate contact, not a scam.

I reached out to Ipsos to express my worries, and they got back to me promptly. They assured me that both the research and the website are legitimate and nothing to be alarmed about.

Everything’s above board. I had the swab test completed, the courier was arranged without charge, and I received the results confirming that I’m negative.

I can assure you, this isn’t a dodgy scheme. It’s perfectly genuine. When you complete the online form, you’ll notice they don’t request any personal details that aren’t easily accessible online already. Go ahead and give it a go; it might prove to be quite beneficial in these challenging times.

I recently received a couple of letters inviting me to participate in a research study related to COVID. Curiosity got the better of me, so I hopped onto their website and completed the necessary information as instructed. Everything appears to be on the up and up. Once the test kit arrives, I’ll make sure to update you all!

My husband received a letter concerning a Covid-19 test. I decided to investigate the number and came across various comments here, with a mix of favourable and unfavourable reviews. He signed up, and they didn’t request any personal information. The test kit arrived with a complimentary courier service, and the entire process was incredibly simple—the test was conducted and picked up as scheduled. A few days later, he received a message and subsequently a letter confirming that his test was negative. Overall, the experience was quite seamless, and there were no charges involved whatsoever.

I recently got a letter in the post, and out of curiosity, I decided to look up the number stated within it. To my surprise, the website didn't bring up any results associated with that number. As someone employed in local government, this sort of thing is quite typical, as many official numbers tend to be either restricted or come up as 'caller unknown'.
After a bit of digging, I went onto the Imperial College's official site and conducted a keyword search for the document title. This led me to the correct page, which appeared to be quite credible. All the names mentioned in the letter correspond with those involved in the study, and the letter's content aligns perfectly with the information available on the Imperial and Ipsos Mori websites.
Interestingly enough, they had my name, which raises a flag for me since I'm not listed publicly. Only my bank and my medical practice have access to my details, so that lends a measure of authenticity to the correspondence.
The survey itself only required some basic information about my household, plus my mobile number and email address, which is optional. I managed to complete the survey without any hiccups on the first attempt.
Overall, I feel comfortable providing my information here, as it seems quite genuine to me.

I was a bit hesitant at first and almost decided against it. However, after coming across a comment from someone who had contacted Ipsos Mori, my curiosity got the better of me and I figured I’d give it a go. Just today, my testing kit landed on my doorstep! I’d love to share a photo for extra proof, but sadly, that’s not an option here.

I've also received this letter and have been attempting to access the 'website' each day, but to no success. This morning, I thought it prudent to investigate the phone number first before calling, which led me to this site. Given the current climate, I feel inclined to participate in the survey, yet there's a nagging suspicion that it might be a ruse, despite the letter appearing quite authentic. I'm uncertain what they would actually gain from it, too. I've looked into Imperial College London as they do conduct surveys, but there's no mention of any Covid-19 research at present. Quite peculiar!

This morning, I got a letter and decided to look up the contact information for Imperial College London. I ended up chatting with someone at the reception, and they verified that they're indeed conducting this study. You can also find relevant details about it on the Ipsos MORI website.

I got in touch with the main switchboard at Imperial College London, and they assured me that the information is indeed authentic. However, it seems the letters have been sent out before the general public was properly informed.

I got a letter from them and when I attempted to reach out via email, I found myself blocked. This situation really warrants some digging into. If it had all seemed above board, I would’ve happily taken the test!

My mother-in-law received a letter recently, and we're a bit uncertain if it's a con or not. After perusing the comments, I've opted to steer clear of making a phone call—better to be safe than sorry when it comes to potential scams!

Today I got a letter in the post. Much like others, I found that the search engines were utterly useless. So, I decided to give Ipsos Mori a call directly and they advised me to enter the address straight into the browser’s address bar instead of using the search bar. It took me three tries, but it eventually did the trick. I can confirm it’s legitimate and definitely not a scam. I trust this information proves useful for anyone else. They’re conducting tests to monitor virus transmission.

Today, I got a letter addressed to me, but I can't seem to locate the website where I was meant to take the test. I attempted to ring the number provided, but it was constantly busy. It certainly gives off a dodgy vibe, so I've decided to just steer clear of it altogether.

My daughter recently got a letter inviting my granddaughter to take part in something. She did exactly as instructed and entered the access code. To my surprise, all of my granddaughter's details appeared without her needing to provide any further info. The only thing they inquired about was the number of adults and kids living in our home. I hope this sheds some light. We were rummaging around for any info we could find to determine if it was a con or legitimate, but came up empty-handed.

I recently received a letter regarding some sort of Covid-19 research study, inviting me to participate in testing. They instructed me to register an access code via a website, but when I attempted to do so, it stated that the access code couldn't be found. The phone number listed on the letter is the one I have here, but I haven't called it as it seems a bit dodgy to me.

Seems a bit dodgy, if you ask me, but I'm not entirely certain. I received a letter inviting me to join a Covid-19 testing research project dated 12.5.2020. The correspondence requested that I sign up on a specific website, which, rather strangely, I couldn't locate on two different search engines. Instead, it provided a toll-free number to call. I gave it a ring earlier, only to be met with a recorded message instructing me to try again after 5pm. My advice? Hold off on sharing any personal information with that number until you've done some thorough checks to confirm it's authentic. Better safe than sorry!

It appears that there’s a fraudulent medical operation at play here. I strongly advise reporting this to the authorities.
