Helping South Asian communities avoid COVID Vaccine scams

Posted on: 24 February 2021

BBC Asian Network is helping people in the South Asian community to spot potential scams, with advice videos in five South Asian languages - Gujarati, Urdu, Tamil, Punjabi, and Sylheti.

As COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out across the UK, fraudsters are using this as an opportunity to scam people by asking people for their bank details to book a vaccination appointment. The COVID vaccines are free, and the NHS is warning everyone to be vigilant about fake vaccination invitations.

Please share the advice videos below with communities that will benefit from these language videos.
