The calls typically feature foreign accents, background noise, and lengthy delays suggesting autodiallers are in use.

Reported incidents consistently warn against sharing any details, and blocking the number is strongly advised to avoid potential fraud or harassment.

4 yearsSome bloke rang claiming to be from "Public Health England". I quickly looked up the number online and saw loads of similar complaints. I kept him on the line for a bit. He asked about my covid jabs and flu shots, then jumped straight into asking questions about my health insurance. I called him out as a con artist and cheekily asked if his mum was proud of what he was doing. Didn’t seem to like that one bit and started arguing, so I told him to “buzz off” before hanging up and blocking the number. Proper scammer trying it on.Public Health England4 yearsFor over two years now, I've been getting calls and texts from various numbers, all looking for this Brian Tweddle person. I have no clue who that is, but the texts mostly mention loan stuff or gambling websites. Whenever I answer, it's usually a bloke with an Indian accent, and there's loads of background noise like other people chatting or calls happening. Seems like they're using some kind of autodialler because there's always a long pause before anyone picks up. And if you ask questions or try to challenge them, they just hang up straight away. Definitely a dodgy scam if you ask me.Brian Tweddle4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Public Health England, sounded really fishy. I’m pretty sure it was a scam trying to get my info. Watch out, don’t fall for it!Public Health England4 yearsTotal con artist! They just cut me off as soon as I picked up.4 yearsGot two calls from this number but every time I picked up they just hung up immediately. Strange behaviour!4 yearsI keep getting calls from different numbers but the same company every time. Really hope someone finally cracks down on these scammers soon.4 yearsI used to be in East Grinstead and really have no idea what this is about? Just gonna block the number.East Grinstead4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from 'public health' - definitely a scam!4 yearsGot a ring from this number just after 11 in the morning, claiming to be from Public Health England. They asked loads of questions about Covid vaccinations and if I was satisfied with the appointments at my GP. Then it took a weird turn - suddenly they started talking about private healthcare stuff.Public Health EnglandCovid4 yearsEvery time they ring and don’t leave a voice message, I just block them straight away. The minute my voicemail picks up, they just hang up. It’s clearly some kind of scam.4 yearsDoes anyone else pick up when this number calls? I answered one time and got some message about a delivery, but then no one ever followed up or said anything after that. Pretty strange.4 yearsGot two calls from this number, only picked up the second time. At first, there was silence and then some crackling noise before a bloke with an accent I couldn’t place started talking. He said my name - which honestly I never said out loud - and claimed to be from Public Health England (I’m actually based in Wales, so that was a bit odd). He then started asking about my vaccine status, which felt really off so I just ended the call there. Seems like a dodgy scam to me.Public Health EnglandWales4 yearsThey hung up just as I was about to pick up.4 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming he was from the Citizens Advice Bureau, saying the government is offering cash to clear off any debts. I told him I don’t owe a penny. Then he asked about my life insurance and which provider I use. I ended the call, but he phoned back which I just didn’t bother answering. Definitely wouldn’t trust this one at all.Citizens Advice Bureau4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Public Health England here in Dartford. They started asking which flu jab I’d had and if I’d had any issues with it. After that, out of nowhere, they wanted to know about my life insurance and how much I pay each month. They asked me to verify my postcode, so I just gave them a made-up one. Definitely felt like a scam, don’t trust them or share any info!DartfordPublic Health England4 yearsThis number rang me a while back claiming to be from Public Health, asking to confirm if I’ve had the flu and COVID jabs. I told them I wouldn’t share that info since I work for the NHS, and they should already have all my vaccination records on file.Public Health4 yearsGot a call from a bloke speaking with a thick Indian accent, and I could barely make out what he was saying. He said he was from Nationwide Debt Solutions but couldn’t actually give me any details about these supposed unsecured debts he kept mentioning. I told him straight up he was trying to scam me and to stop calling, but he started shouting back he wasn’t a scammer. I just hung up on him. Seriously, don’t pick up if they ring you!Nationwide Debt Solutions4 yearsGot a ring from someone claiming to be with Public Health England, who first asked if I’d had my Covid jabs. Then they wanted to know if I’d experienced any fever or headaches afterwards. Pretty odd, I thought. Suddenly, they switched tack and started grilling me about my life insurance, trying hard to get the name of my provider. I told them I wasn’t sure (which isn’t true), and that’s when the call started feeling off. Next thing, they said I was struggling with debts. I ended the call there and blocked the number straight away.Public Health England4 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just cut the call off straight away.4 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just cut the call straight away.4 yearsGot three calls, two yesterday and one today morning. Missed the first two but picked up the last one ‘cause it looked like it was from my local code. A guy with a thick Pakistani accent answered, said he was calling from the “UK Public Health Department” and had “some questions” for me. I could hear other people in the background talking with similar accents, and even though I hate to sound biased, it made me suspicious that this wasn’t legit at all. When I asked the purpose of the call, he just kept saying it was about “important questions.” I told him I didn’t trust the call and wanted my number taken off whatever list they had me on. No clue if they actually will, but it definitely felt like one of those dodgy scam calls. On top of that, dialing the number back just gave me a load of static and a message that was impossible to understand. If this really was the UK Public Health, you’d think they’d have a proper, clear answering service, right?UK Public Health Department4 yearsGot several calls from this number, so I’ve blocked it now.

I told him I don’t owe anything. Then he started going on about life insurance. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Citizens Advice4 yearsThis number said they were with public health or something, sounded a bit dodgy to me. Didn’t really trust the call, so I looked it up here. Better safe than sorry, I suppose. Pretty sure it was some sort of scam.4 yearsThey've rung me 3 times over the past couple of hours, can't wait to find out who it is.4 yearsHas anyone got a clue if this is really from the public health or some official dept? Ive had tons of calls all day, and after looking at these comments, I’m starting to think maybe Ive been avoiding a toll charge or something. Kinda stressing if it’s legit or not.4 yearsThey've called me like four or five times just today alone.4 yearsThey’ve rang me thrice already today but never left a message, and I’ve missed all of them. I’m about to just block the number.4 yearsThis number has rung me three times over the past few hours but I haven’t answered any of the calls.4 yearsI got a call from a guy talking with a thick Asian accent claiming he was from the health department conducting a survey about vaccines. He asked me if I’d had my flu and covid booster shots, and I said I had. Then he started asking if I had life insurance. When I asked why, he said he wasn’t trying to sell me anything. I told him it wasn’t any of his concern, but he kept pressing me to confirm. I refused to say yes or no, and after that, he just hung up.4 yearsI got two calls from this number today. The first time they claimed to be from citizens advice offering support with debt, sounded legit enough. The second time tho, they asked about my vaccine status but quickly turned nasty, swearing a lot and making some really offensive sexual remarks. If you get a call from them, i'd just ignore and block straight away.Citizens AdviceSubmit Your Own Report (01342 886242)
