Good morning

Or

Get burner phone

Fill in details of everyone you don’t like, then let the contact tracers isolate them

Will contacts be told WHO has been in contact with them or only that SOMEONE has? The former you can say "no they weren't" but it does mean every name you give is informed you have CV. Is that information you might want to be kept private?

Erm, that is what is happening in the UK, the app is only part of the track and trace, the phone calls are starting now, the app will come later to automate parts of the process.

And when did these calls start in a systematic way?

First they thought they’ll get away with cheap app - wasted months during which contact tracing could be done - making phone calls is possible from home ffs and lot people were and still are unemployed

If anybody calls they will be calling from the number 03000135000, if you get a text it will come from NHS and they will never ask you for any form of payment or purchase or details of your bank account, and also you will then be given, if you’re online, a QR code to be able to confirm those details online.

I have my little bit of software which will show up as another number on someone else's phone so this is easy to fake....

This whole thing is a scammers dream... Random strangers calling to get your personal data is all part of the new normal.

That's not why it's a scammer's dream, it's because TalkTalk brains are involved.
