My friend got a call from a woman claiming to be from Bath Citizens Advice, saying she needed to discuss some debts. When my mate said she hadn’t reached out to them and didn’t owe anything, the caller just started shouting and swearing at her, telling her to f##k off and calling her all sorts. Seems like they’ve moved on from the usual covid scams and are trying a new approach now.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from the NHS, checking if I’d had my covid jab. I asked her why she needed to know, and then she started on about life insurance, saying it was important if I got ill with covid. I told her that wasn’t right at all. When I mentioned I work in public health, she suddenly swore at me and hung up. Might save that line for the next time someone calls like that!

Appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts here. Tried ringing my missus on her mobile a couple of times recently, but she ignored them since she’s never heard of anyone from that 01255 number. I've gone ahead and blocked it now. Honestly, when will the UK actually get tough on these scam callers and give them proper consequences? They’re a right pain.

Hello everyone, I've been getting multiple calls from this landline lately. Earlier today, I decided to pick up, and the caller uttered my name straight away. It raised my suspicions-definitely felt like a con. When I pressed for the individual’s full name, he hesitated quite a bit but eventually settled on 'Jonathan Franklin'. He claimed he was contacting me on behalf of the 'NHS' and the 'Public Health Department', yet couldn't provide any specifics, such as his job title or an office address. At one point, he became rather defensive and even aggressive, questioning my motives for asking. I explained that my concerns stemmed from suspecting him to be a scammer. To my astonishment, he outright confessed to being one and practically dared me to report him, which I assured him I would. And thus, here we are now.

So this bloke called me asking how many Covid jabs I've had, right? After a bit he suddenly wanted to know if I’d got life insurance. When I asked why he needed that info, his mate jumped on the phone all friendly, saying it was to 'update my policy' with the jab details. Complete rubbish if you ask me.

Then he went on about insurance, asking if I had any. He made a point of saying he wasn’t trying to sell me insurance. When I told him I didn’t need any, he just said a quick goodbye and ended the call.

The individual on the line presented themselves as conducting a survey for the NHS. I decided to entertain the call, thinking it might be legitimate. After a few queries regarding Covid-19, they then probed about whether I possessed health insurance. Ultimately, they requested I verify my postcode, citing an EC address in London that bears no relation to me. When they insisted I confirm my postcode and address, I firmly declined to provide any details.

A gentleman of Asian descent gave me a ring to check if I was on top of my Covid vaccinations, then promptly pivoted to pitching life insurance policies. It felt quite dodgy, as if he were angling for some personal details. I didn't mince my words and informed him I suspected it was all a scam, which led him to become rather aggressive. Quite frankly absurd!

A chap of Asian descent contacted me, claiming he was following up on my Covid vaccinations. Before I knew it, he was trying to peddle life insurance! It felt like he was fishing for sensitive information. I promptly told him I thought he was “talking absolute nonsense” and that his intentions reeked of a scam. He then launched into a tirade, hurling a barrage of expletives, and even suggested I could be prosecuted for supposedly mistreating an NHS worker. Can you believe the cheek of it? The audacity of someone who scrounges off the vulnerable and elderly has reached astonishing heights. It's beyond comprehension!

I was quite taken aback when they presented me with all my accurate details and insisted I confirm them. At that moment, I’d also received a text from the NHS, which led me to believe it might actually be legitimate. However, reflecting on it now, I'm starting to think it was a scam. It’s rather unsettling to think they had all the right information about me!

I received a call just about ten minutes ago, but I chose not to pick up my mobile. If the caller's number is unfamiliar and they don’t leave a voice message, I prefer to investigate it first. Last week, I had a call from 01279 354437. On the 8th of November, at precisely 11:05 in the morning, an individual who identified himself as "Jason," and appeared to be of Asian descent, claimed he was affiliated with the NHS. He inquired if I had received my COVID vaccinations, among other health-related questions, including whether I had life insurance or private health coverage. He insisted he wasn’t attempting to sell me anything. I told him that my health information was none of his concern and that anyone who needed that kind of info already had access to it, so I opted to hang up. Today, I ignored another call but attempted to trace it through *141 after noting that it was from the number 01255879555 at 11:15 am.

I received a call from this number earlier, and honestly, it was a bit of a struggle to catch what he was saying. He claimed to be associated with the NHS and started inquiring about my COVID vaccinations and such. Then, out of the blue, he steered the chat towards Life Insurance. That’s when I realised he was up to something! I tried to keep him talking for a bit, but he ended up hanging up on me. It's quite amusing how some folks lack basic etiquette, isn’t it? 😂

I just received a rather unsettling call from an Asian gentleman who insisted he was representing the NHS. He bluntly asked if I’d received both of my vaccinations. Naturally, I queried the reason for his inquiry, but instead of providing an answer, he resorted to some rather foul language, even wishing me ill before abruptly ending the call. Quite shocking behaviour, if you ask me!

I received a rather peculiar call where the initial inquiry was about my Covid situation, but it swiftly morphed into a conversation about insurance. From the get-go, I had a strong inkling that it was a scam. Nevertheless, her friendly demeanor compelled me to allow her a moment to speak; after all, I reckon nobody dreams of being a telemarketer, and I prefer to avoid being impolite. Once I mentioned that my insurance is arranged through my employer, she began to press me rather forcefully for specifics on my monthly payments. Despite my honest admission that I couldn’t recall the exact amount-seeing as it’s bundled with my employment benefits-she continued to badger me for an estimate. Honestly, how could I possibly know? Curiosity got the better of me, and I inquired why she needed that information. Her response was that it would be included in a letter pertaining to updates from the NHS regarding Covid vaccine certificates. I couldn’t quite fathom why the NHS would require details of my insurance, especially since I already possess my vaccine certificate. At that point, her tone turned sour, and she coldly stated she was going to record a figure before abruptly ending the call.

I recently received a call from a gentleman with an Asian accent inquiring about my Covid vaccinations. He also asked if I had any kind of insurance or backup coverage. When I mentioned I didn’t, he simply said "alright" and hung up. At first, I was under the impression that it could be a follow-up from the hospital regarding any side effects since I had my vaccination just yesterday. That’s why I initially thought it was a legitimate call. However, it’s quite concerning how they managed to get my name, number, and accurate information. It seems like someone must be sharing these details with them.
