The Sussex Health and Care Partnership has put out a warning over fake invitations to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
According to the partnership, some people are receiving suspicious calls, text messages and even face to face calls at the doorstep offering the Covid-19 vaccination.
Sussex residents will only receive an invitation if they are in a priority group, and will be contacted directly by the NHS when it is their turn.
Anyone offering a paid-for vaccine is committing a crime.
On their website, the partnership said:
"The NHS will never ask you to press a button on your keypad or send a text to confirm you want the vaccine, and never ask for payment or for your bank details.
"At the moment we are not making house calls to deliver or discuss the vaccine and we will never come to your house without an appointment.
"Anyone offering this now is committing a crime."
If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up.
If you believe you have been the victim of fraud or identity theft you should report this directly to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
Where the victim is vulnerable, report it to Sussex Police online or by calling 101.
