Fake SECAmb Coronavirus Voicemail Sparks Panic on WhatsApp
South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) has slammed a viral WhatsApp voicemail as completely fake. The bogus message claims to reveal grim COVID-19 death forecasts and internal rearrangements at SECAmb – but it’s a hoax.
The Message That Fooled Thousands
The recording features a woman claiming to be a SECAmb controller. She says she works in the “hub” and that staff are being shuffled upstairs to follow social distancing rules. The caller alleges she’s just come from a meeting with bosses and Public Health England (PHE).
Shocking Death Toll Claims—All Lies
The fake voicemail claims Public Health England warned the UK’s coronavirus peak is imminent. It predicts 900 deaths daily from April 9 through the following Tuesday. Even more startling, the message alleges a third of these deaths will be babies, children, and teenagers with no prior health issues.
SECAmb Sets the Record Straight
SECAmb officials stress the message is a fraud. They urge the public not to spread false information that causes unnecessary fear. The service remains focused on genuine health alerts and saving lives during the pandemic.
