I just got one of those awful calls from people claiming to be NHS staff. Told the caller off and then ended the call. Reading through the comments here, it’s good to see others catching on to their tricks. Seriously, they need to be stopped somehow.

On 25th Jan, I got a call from an Asian call centre asking for me by name. My partner picked up first, but the woman kept going on straight from a script without letting him hand me the phone. When I finally spoke, she said it was about eye tests for folks with mobility problems and how the NHS recommends regular checks. Once I got her to stop her spiel, I mentioned my next eye test's not due till later in the year and told her where I usually go, then ended the call. Feels like a total scam to me - they must be getting hold of personal info somehow!

They gave me a ring but hung up straight away.

Just got a call about some home eye test service aimed at folks who can’t easily get out. Never heard that one before. Honestly, these con artists seem to have no limits on how far they'll stoop!

I got a call about free eye tests being done at home through the NHS. Since I'd just had mine done recently, I wasn't keen and quickly ended the call.

I ignored it since the number was unfamiliar to me and I didn’t feel like finding out who it was.

I picked up the phone and there was silence for a moment, but I could clearly hear a loud call centre buzzing in the background. Eventually, a man with an Asian accent spoke after I said “hello” a couple of times, asking for me by name and claiming he was calling from Gamma Medical. I cut him off before he could carry on and asked what company he was from exactly. He told me they were representing the NHS and were offering free eye exams. Seemed fishy to me!

Got a call from someone saying they were with a clinic. We weren’t expecting any calls like that so we just hung up thinking it was some kind of scam.

Someone rang me wanting to talk to my husband. When I asked who it was, they just said “outside clinic.” It didn’t really add up, so I said I wasn’t interested and ended the call.

My nan, who's 86, got a call the other day. The person said they worked at some medical centre and asked if my dad was there, even though he's been gone for over four years now. She told them straight to buzz off.

Got a call from this number and my iPhone popped up with “possible scam alert”, so I just ignored it and then blocked it straight away. Checked the digits here on this site afterwards and it seems they really were right about it being dodgy.

Typically I ignore calls from numbers I don't recognise, but after looking this one up, it turns out to be linked to Gamma Telecom Holdings Ltd. From what I’ve read, it seems like it could be a spam or cold call, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. It's frustrating that these calls keep coming through - why isn’t the government cracking down on these fraudsters? I wish the police, phone companies, or Ofcom would adopt the call-blocking tech that places like the US have already rolled out to tackle these annoying and risky calls.

They say they’re some kind of clinic offering eye exams at home, but honestly, it feels really dodgy and like a total scam. Definitely not someone you want to trust with something that important.

I usually just block numbers if they don’t leave me a voicemail. Judging by what others are saying about this number, I reckon I’m making a smart call.

I usually don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise. When I’ve looked them up on the “who called me?” site, they nearly always end up being telemarketers or spam calls.

Got a call from someone with a foreign accent trying to pitch some alternative to the NHS, especially aimed at people with mobility problems. They kept mentioning Consumer Lifestyle, which seems to pop up a lot in dodgy calls like this. I’m quite blunt with them, tell them I’m not interested, then just hang up. Sorry if it sounds rude, but it’s the easiest way to stop the hassle.

Right before I picked up, I caught a quick snippet of some recorded message starting with "this is a call from back security". Then a very polite lady named "Ashley" suddenly came on when they heard me talking. She asked for my husband by name, but I told her he wasn’t around. They claimed it was regarding free NHS eye tests and said they’d ring back later. I’ve blocked the number, but I’m guessing they'll just try again using another one.
