A warning has gone out to residents in Flintshire regarding a Covid related email scam.

Flintshire Trading Standards team has said, “this is a scam!”

A spokesperson for the team said we are “warning the public of a recent e-mail scam that is circulating.”

“The email appears to come from Pfizer Vaccine Opinion Panel and advises recipients that if they take part in the survey, they will be offered free rewards. This is a scam.”
