Sassari. The Sassari Local Health Authority launches the appeal for scam text messages and WhatsApp messages which, for a few days, have been arriving on the cell phones of the population of north-west Sardinia.
In recent days the Postal and Communications Police service has alerted the health authorities regarding the spread of text messages that use the theme of the coronavirus to capture the attention of
recipients. Added to this are the reports received in recent days at the offices of the ASL of Sassari.
In this regard, the Sassari Local Health Authority, taking up the indications of the Postal Police, therefore invites you to be wary of these and similar messages, avoiding opening the attachments they contain or linking to any addresses or calling the numbers indicated.
The postal police invites you to be wary of messages of the following nature: “Please contact our social and health offices for communication. Call and listen 89341409”
This is the message received by ASL users: “Please contact our social welfare office on 89341472 for a communication concerning you”
A subterfuge to have a paid number called, which quickly drains your credit. The advice of the ASL of Sassari remains to pay maximum attention and not to be misled by
similar communications, and reminds the population that the health authorities of the regional health service, such as the ASL of Sassari, never use paid numbers but exclusively toll-free numbers.
