This number has been persistently reaching out, asking for a ton of details that anyone genuine would already have. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

So, this guy called me asking if I had some sort of insurance for covid, right? And I’m only 15 lol. When I told him that, he just said it was alright but I really should think about getting one.

Got a call about the NHS covid jab, so I asked the bloke to prove he was actually from the NHS. He gave me a dodgy NHS number, and when I told him it was wrong, he just said my number was the one that was incorrect!!

I've had this Asian bloke ringing me non stop since lunchtime, more than ten times now. Every time I ask him which company he's calling for, he just snaps and won’t tell me. Proper rude about it too, getting all aggressive like.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be with NHS Test and Trace, inquiring about my vaccination details. The call felt very much like it originated from a call centre, which immediately raised my suspicions. I doubt it was an official NHS line. To top it off, the person had a noticeable foreign accent, which certainly didn't help dispel my concerns.

He called me a couple of times and started off asking about my vaccination status, like if I’d had any side effects. But then, out of nowhere, he switched the topic and started asking about life insurance! So strange.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from track and trace. They said they could see my info but wouldn’t confirm my NHS number. Then they asked if I’d had the vaccine, I told them if they really had my records, they’d already know that. I didn’t want to answer any more questions and they just ended the call on me.

Got a call from a polite Asian guy who seemed to know my name. He said he was ringing from the NHS and wanted to check up on my covid jab status. Seemed a bit suspicious to me though.

I got a call from someone using my old married name, which I haven’t used for like a decade. When I asked who they were, they claimed to be from the NHS. I questioned why the NHS would be calling me from Bedford though, and they said it was some international number related to Covid-19. I asked again why the NHS would ring me from a local 01 number in Bedford, and they kept going on about Covid. After that, I just told them to stop wasting my time with their scam and they hung up.

Got a call from a polite guy with an Asian accent, he wanted to chat about the covid vaccine and what I thought of the whole campaign. He asked if I’d had my jabs, then quickly switched to asking about my life insurance. When I mentioned how much my premiums were, he just hung up on me. Plus, he called me by the wrong name right off the bat, so I knew something was off straight away.

I’m hard of hearing and the caller had quite a thick accent, so I had to ask him a couple of times where he was calling from. Eventually, he said it was about NHS Covid-19 and asked if I’d had my vaccinations. Surely the NHS would already know this info without needing to ask me? When I questioned why he needed to know, he just ended the call. I honestly believe phone providers should step up and block these sorts of calls more effectively. I signed up to the TPS not long ago but it hasn't changed a thing for me.

Got a call from an Indian guy claiming it was about checking my vaccine status. He asked if I was satisfied with the vaccination centre and then started asking about my vaccination details and even my life insurance. He insisted they weren’t trying to sell insurance but kept probing who my insurer was, how much I paid monthly, and whether my partner was covered. When I asked why he needed this info, he just suddenly ended the call.

Got a call claiming to be from the NHS. When I asked which part, they said the CCG. They started asking about my vaccine status. I told them I actually work for the NHS and didn’t think they were legit. Right after that, they just hung up! Definitely a scam, they need to be blocked for good.

Got a call from an Indian bloke claiming to be from some Covid unit. He kept pestering me if I'd had all my jabs. I told him that wasn’t his concern at all, but he insisted it was. I made it clear I wasn’t sharing any details with him and told him to jog on. He hung up straight away.

This guy with an Asian accent called me, started asking about my vaccine doses but avoided saying he was from the NHS covid team. He wanted to know if I had my vaccination cards - I told him they're somewhere around. Then he quizzed me about any side effects, mentioning sore arms and chills, which I confirmed. Next, he asked if I'd caught covid before. I said yes and pointed out that if he really worked for the NHS, he'd have a record of it since it's all logged. I told him I wasn’t convinced he was legit. After that, he went quiet and ended the call.

Every day without missing a beat, I get calls from loads of different numbers that look dodgy, and if I pick up, they just drop the call straight away. When I ring back, sometimes it just keeps ringing and never picks up, or it tells me the number’s not valid. Occasionally, I do get through, and it’s usually some bloke from abroad trying to get me to ‘clear some debt,’ or someone pretending to be from my bank. There was even one time they claimed to be from the NHS!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with the Citizens Advice Bureau, said they could assist with my debts. When I asked where they’d got my details from, the bloke was really rude and dodgy about it. He mentioned some government plan to save me money on interest, but I don’t even have debt that charges interest, so that was a clear red flag. The moment he started talking, I knew something was off. Watch out, these scammers will use any trick to rip you off!
