Police and HIO Warn Against Ongoing Fake Gesy SMS Scam
The police and the Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) have issued a warning about the continued circulation of fraudulent SMS messages falsely claimed to be from the national health system, Gesy. These messages are malicious and aim to deceive recipients into believing they are official communications. Recipients are advised to exercise caution, avoid clicking on any links, and delete these messages immediately.
The scammers' intent is to create a false impression of legitimacy by mimicking Gesy's messaging style. The HIO emphasized that it never requests personal information such as passwords, login credentials, or payment details via SMS, nor does it send links for payments through text messages. This warning serves to protect beneficiaries from potential data theft and financial fraud.
