Expert Opinion
Guess what many people assume about that mysterious NHS text – it’s either a scam or a legit reminder. The bulk of reports point to genuine appointment confirmations from the NHS, often including a PIN and DOB for portal access. Still, the unfamiliar number can trigger suspicion, so always cross‑check the details in your official NHS app or call the hospital directly. Verify the hospital name, date, and department before replying or clicking any link. If the message asks for personal data beyond DOB and a PIN, treat it as potential phishing. Keep a log of the text content in case you need to dispute a missed appointment later.

Recent Reports for 07786 209254
A text claimed to be from SWBH NHS Trust, saying I’d been referred and was waiting for an appointment, with instructions to reply CANCEL if I no longer needed it. The message lacked professionalism, contained grammatical errors, and omitted any details about the appointment – it feels like a 100 % scam.
Received a follow‑up text from the NHS confirming a real hospital appointment.
Purportedly an NHS appointment notice arrived, but with no supporting letter – obviously a scam.
Received a message claiming DWP was offering a £300 winter heating payment; it's a spoofed number used for fraud.
It purports to be an NHS appointment reference, but I’m unsure if it’s genuine or a scam, especially since earlier records have flagged similar numbers as blocked.
Seems to be an NHS Foundation message, cheers.
Seems to be a legitimate NHS number asking me to reply ‘yes’ to confirm a booked appointment, cheers.

Someone rang saying they wanted to discuss work and asked me to add them on WhatsApp, lol.
Got a legitimate NHS reminder about my appointment, complete with accurate details and a request to reply YES xxxx – a colourful, proper notification.
Warning: this text appears to be a phishing attempt masquerading as an ultrasound appointment at Croydon University Hospital on **/06/25. It asks for a reply to REBOOK 1184 or CANCEL 1184 within three days, includes a suspicious tinyurl, and even requests personal details like email and DOB – definitely not a legitimate NHS message.

I got a notice about a change to my appointment, yet the hospital had no record of any alteration.
Had to confirm my nephrologist appointment a few times; just a simple "YES xxxx" text, no hassle, cheers.
A text confirmed my ultrasound appointment with the NHS.
Apparently legit despite the fishy look – the NHS reached out about a referral, cheers.
A notice about my upcoming UCLH appointment arrived, and the listed time and department aligned perfectly with my schedule. In my view, this number appears trustworthy for NHS matters.
I'm unsure if it's genuine – a vague notice said I’ve been referred to my local hospital’s specialist team and asked me to confirm staying on the waiting list, but it omitted the department, which feels dodgy, so probably a scam. Watch out and don’t click any links, cheers.

This turned out to be a scam: I received an appointment via this number, showed up only to be told nothing had been arranged and the hospital had no record of my number. Pure fraud.

It would be better if you explained your intentions beforehand; not everyone can deduce the purpose on their own.
An SMS alleged a respiratory and thoracic medicine appointment at ULTH NHS Trust on 10/03/25 at 9.30 am, urging a reply with “2919” plus YES, REBOOK or CANCEL, yet I have no letter or record of such a visit – likely a cloned number used by fraudsters.
Got a text claiming to be from the DWP warning I’d miss the winter fuel grant if I didn’t apply by tomorrow, pressuring me to click a link – total scam, the number isn’t even theirs, so stay sharp, lol.

The number is legitimate, as it inquired about attending a previously booked appointment via the NHS app.

Following a text message on 26 August 2024 inquiring about my interest in remaining on the dermatology waiting list, I received another message the next day confirming my appointment. However, upon contacting the hospital, I discovered they don't send text messages and I had been discharged in June 2022. The provided number is unrecognised.
