New fraud in the name of the National Health Service - This message is sent by the astute (PICTURE)

The Health Insurance Organization (OHI) has found that recently false and malicious messages have been sent to mobile phones, using the name GHS/GeSY/GESY and the official logo of GeSY, which inform the recipient that they must follow a relevant electronic link ( link) to update his health record/file.

If the recipient chooses the link, he is asked to enter his personal data such as name, address, city, phone number and then pay a certain fee, choosing a payment method and bank card details.

The OAU underlines that this is a fraud and has nothing to do with GeSY and the OAU. Beneficiaries of the System are asked to be particularly careful and not to follow relevant electronic links and/or make any payment because there is a serious risk of interception of their data. The Agency further points out that it never requests information or payments via text messages and urges the public to ignore such messages. A sample malicious message is listed here. For a sample final screen in case the recipient clicks on the link, click here.
