MSP’s warning over ‘health directory’ scam

Midlothian North and Musselburgh MSP Colin Beattie has warned residents to be on their guard against a new health scam.

The European-wide scam sees victims offered inclusion into a “European Medical Directory” and claims it will help them locate their correct doctor.

But hidden in the small print are costs which many people will pay in order to avoid the empty threats of legal action.
