Fake GESY SMS Continue to Be Sent – HIO and Police Warn

The Health Insurance Organization (HIO) and the Police are warning the public about the continued sending of fake SMS messages bearing the name of GESY. These messages mislead citizens by asking them to follow links to “correct” their personal details. The HIO emphasizes that it will never request passwords, payment details, or other personal data via SMS, nor will it ask citizens to make any financial transactions through links. Citizens are urged to be cautious, not open the links, and delete suspicious messages immediately, trusting only official announcements from the HIO.
