NHS Ayrshire and Arran has issued a warning over a scam circulating asking for money for dispensing prescriptions.
The scam involves an email from a ‘ready2dispense’ address, asking patients to confirm items, preferred pharmacy and delivery address.
It then asks for £1 to be paid as a dispensing fee to complete the confirmation.
An NHS spokesperson said: “The NHS will never ask you for money for this service.
“If you are concerned you have provided person or financial information via a link in a message of this sort, contact Police Scotland via 101.”
