4 yearsA chap rang claiming he was from "Public Health England". Straight away, I whipped out my phone and did a quick search, only to find a slew of posts from others about the same number. I decided to play along for a bit. He started off questioning me about my Covid jabs and flu shots, but then he skated right into inquiries about my health insurance. I didn’t hold back, telling him he was clearly a scam artist and asked whether his mum was proud of his dodgy work. He didn’t take too kindly to that and began to get a bit confrontational. So, I told him where to shove it and cut the call, blocking the number pronto. What a bunch of con artists they are!Public Health England4 yearsFor more than two years now, I've been inundated with incessant calls from various numbers, each time seeking a certain Brian Tweddle. I'm baffled as to who this person might be, but the majority of the messages I receive pertain to loan offers or betting websites. Every time I manage to get through, I encounter someone with a thick Indian accent amidst a cacophony of background chatter. It’s evident that an autodialler is being employed, as there's an irritatingly long pause from the moment I pick up until I’m connected to anyone. Whenever I press for answers, the line gets abruptly cut off. Absolutely sounds like a fraudulent operation 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 yearsI received a phone call from a chap claiming to represent the Citizens Advice Bureau, stating that the government is dishing out funds to help clear any debts. I informed him that I don’t have any debts at all. He then inquired about my life insurance and which company I was with. I found it rather suspicious and decided to end the conversation. Shortly after, he rang again, but I chose to ignore that call as well. Seems rather dodgy to me; I wouldn't trust this one bit!Citizens Advice Bureau4 yearsI received a rather dodgy call from this firm while I was in Dartford. The chap on the line inquired about the flu jab I had and whether I encountered any issues with it; he claimed to be from Public Health England. Then, rather suspiciously, he probed into my life insurance details, including how much I fork out each month! He even wanted me to verify my postcode-thankfully, I had the sense to provide him with a made-up one. Absolute scammer, if you ask me! It's best to keep all your personal information close to your chest and not divulge anything.DartfordPublic Health England4 yearsI received a call from this number today, and the chap claimed to be from Public Health. He wanted me to confirm whether I had received vaccinations for both influenza and COVID-19. I politely declined to share any of my personal health details, explaining that I’m an NHS employee and that Public Health already has a record of all my vaccinations on file. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Public Health4 yearsI received a rather perplexing phone call from a chap with a strong Indian accent, which made our conversation rather difficult. He asserted that he represented a company called Nationwide Debt Solutions, yet when I pressed him for specifics regarding the so-called unsecured debts attributed to me, he was unable to provide any concrete information! Frustrated, I called him out as a scammer and instructed him never to ring me again. His response was rather loud and adamant, insisting he was not a con artist, but I had already decided to hang up. Please, do yourself a favour and ignore any calls from this number!Nationwide Debt Solutions4 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call recently, purportedly from Public Health England. The caller inquired whether I had received my COVID vaccinations and if I had experienced any symptoms like fever or headaches afterward. Oddly enough, the conversation then shifted to personal matters, with him probing about my life insurance provider. I hesitated and claimed I was unsure (though I actually do know), as the tone of the call had taken an unsettling turn at that point. He then proceeded to mention something about having debt issues, which felt highly suspicious. I decided to terminate the call and promptly blocked the number.Public Health England4 yearsAs soon as I picked up the call, they promptly disconnected without uttering a word.4 yearsAs soon as I picked up the call, the person on the other end disconnected without uttering a word.4 yearsI received calls from this number twice this morning and once yesterday. Unfortunately, I missed the first two but managed to pick up the third, as it seemed to be from a “local” prefix. A chap answered with a pronounced Pakistani accent, claiming to be representing “the UK Public Health Department” and mentioned he had “a few questions” to ask. Now, I must admit, upon hearing several other individuals in the background with similar accents, I couldn’t shake off a growing suspicion-guilt of being stereotypical aside-that this might well be a dodgy call. When I inquired about the purpose of his call, his response was simply that he had “some important questions” for me. I countered, expressing my disbelief in their authenticity and requested that they promptly remove my number from their records. I’m not holding my breath on that one, though, as it struck me as a rather obvious scam. Moreover, if you attempt to return the call, you’re met with an utterly garbled message, drowning in static. I highly doubt that the UK Public Health Department would have such shoddy voicemail service!UK Public Health Department4 yearsI've received numerous calls from this number, but I've now blocked it. It appears to be linked to Public Health England, which, as we all know, isn't operating under that name any longer! These seem to be fraudulent calls about vaccination information.Public Health England4 yearsReceived two phone calls today but I wasn't able to pick up either of them.4 yearsReceived a couple of calls from this number, but they didn’t bother to leave a message.4 yearsReceived a call from East Grinstead, and having consulted with you lot, I tend to avoid picking up calls from unfamiliar numbers. I've told them quite firmly to “remove my blooming number from their list!”East Grinstead4 yearsThey abruptly ended the call when I dialled.4 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to represent Citizens Advice, supposedly regarding some outstanding debts. I informed him that I had no debts at all. Then he brought up life insurance, which seemed rather odd, so I ended the conversation and promptly blocked the number.Citizens Advice4 yearsPurporting to represent public health.4 yearsI’ve had three missed calls in the past couple of hours. Eagerly anticipating a chat with them!4 yearsHas anyone got a clue whether this is genuinely the department of health or something similar? I've been inundated with calls today, and after perusing the comments, I'm starting to suspect I might have a toll charge that I’ve been avoiding, which has left me quite anxious about it.4 yearsThey've called me no fewer than four or five times today already.4 yearsThis number has rung me three times already today, and I've managed to miss every call. Not a single voicemail has been left behind. It seems like they’ll be getting the block treatment shortly!4 yearsI’ve received three calls from this number in just a few hours, but I haven’t answered any of them.4 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call earlier. The chap on the other end had a noticeable Asian accent and claimed to represent the health department, conducting a survey concerning vaccinations. He inquired if I had received my flu and Covid booster jabs, to which I responded in the affirmative. However, then things took an odd turn when he sought to ascertain whether I had life insurance. Upon questioning him about the relevance of this, he assured me he wasn’t trying to sell anything. I firmly expressed that the matter was private, yet he persisted in asking for confirmation. Ultimately, I stood my ground and declined to either confirm or deny anything, which prompted him to abruptly end the call. Such an odd encounter!4 yearsI received two calls from this number today. On the first occasion, they claimed to be from Citizens Advice, offering assistance with debt. However, during the second call, they inquired about my vaccination status and then descended into a tirade of appalling language, complete with offensive and sexual remarks. It was quite shocking, honestly. If you happen to get a call from them, I strongly advise against answering-just block them outright!Citizens AdviceSubmit Your Own Report (01342 886242)
