Have I Just Got Caught In A Scam ?

[Dee Sa]

about a week ago I signed a petition to stop our medical records being sold, tonight I was contacted again by Phil Boot[[email protected]] and it said "you can now opt out of your medical records being uploaded to care.date using faxyourgp.com and I went on the link and gave my details and my GP came up and I agreed, they asked for dob and address but that only no bank details which I would have smelt a rat, but now I am worried its a scam.If what can I do ? it seemed so genuine.

Looks legit Dee - don't worry

No, its genuine enough. They require DoB and address to correctly identify you to your GP.

However, if you are still concerned, but wish to opt-out,visit your surgery in person and inform them.

Dee sa do you see the eentsy weentsiest irony iin wanting to preserve you confidentiality and cheerfully giveing your details to an unknown unannounced site ?

ironic or not

good idea - once info is given up you cant call it back
