Got a call from someone claiming to be from a bank, but they never gave a name or used mine. They said there were two dodgy transactions and I needed to get in touch with them, all in some robotic recorded voice with options to press buttons. Pretty sure it’s a scam. Rang the number back, but it just went dead. They had also called me on my mobile yesterday with the identical weird message.

I received a call from a chap who had a distinctly Indian accent, asserting that he was with the "UK Public Health Department." He began probing me for my personal details and wanted to know about my life insurance policy. He even brought up questions regarding my Covid-19 vaccinations. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

It seems like they're promoting a type of life insurance, doesn't it?

Got yet another call from a scammer today, they just won't stop ringing and it's getting really annoying.

This number keeps ringing me nonstop. Whenever I answer, I just stay silent, and after a bit, they hang up. We didn’t know the number, so I didn’t say anything, but they just won’t stop calling. Guess I’ll have to block it soon.

I got a call from a woman claiming she was from Public Health. She told me she was aware I’d recently had a flu vaccination and asked if I’d received a certificate for it. When I said no (I don’t think we get those anyway), she said she’d organise for one to be sent out. Then, she said they had access to my medical records and asked if I had any health or life insurance. That was the moment I just hung up. Feels like the NHS might be passing on details of who’s had the jab!

I received a phone call from a lady who had a distinctly Polynesian accent, claiming to represent the Public Health Department of the UK. I couldn’t help but express my disbelief and told her, “I find that rather hard to believe!” Just like that, she hung up on me!

This time it was a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from the public health department, talking about covid vaccines and life insurance. When I gave them a bit of cheek and asked too many questions, they got proper angry 😆. What a joke of a scam!

I was in the middle of a meeting when they rang, so I couldn't pick up. It showed as spam on my phone, and they didn't leave any voicemail either. Strange!

My phone just stopped the call from coming through and blocked it straight away. Probably just another spammer.

The caller claimed to be from London's Public Health Care office, but couldn't even clearly say which agency they were representing. Pretty sure it was a scam, couldn't trust a word.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from the UK Public Health department - which is totally made up. He even asked me by my name! Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I thought I’d pick up just to see what’s what. As soon as I said something, the call just cut off. After checking this site, turns out it’s a dodgy scam from near East Grinstead. Yet another annoying scammer trying their luck! I’ve blocked the number and reported it as suspicious to my network. Typical!

This person rang me claiming to be from the UK health service, asking if I’d had my flu vaccine. Then they suddenly switched to talking about insurance - it was clear as day it was just a dodgy scam.

I received a call while I was in London, but it didn’t connect as we’ve got a phone blocker that sifts through incoming calls. They didn't bother to leave a name or a message either. Quite odd, really.

Received a call purportedly from Healthcare England, quizzing me about immunisations. I remarked that they were as connected to Healthcare England as I am to the Avengers - in fact, I’m the Hulk! I expressed my suspicion, so he promptly became rather belligerent and let loose a string of expletives. I informed him that I’d be blocking his number, to which he chuckled and retorted that he had an abundance of other numbers. I couldn't help but laugh too until he abruptly ended the call. I’m definitely keen on capturing the next encounter!

Received a call from this number, but it was hard to decipher what they were on about since they were munching away! I politely asked them to put down the food, and they responded rather rudely, telling me to "bugger off" before hanging up. Quite the charmer, I'd say! 😅🍽️

I received a call inquiring about vaccination status and any related symptoms. The caller claimed to be from the healthcare department in England and also probed if I hold any life insurance policies. It was a rather odd conversation!
