Got a call from someone saying they were with the NHS covid team. I ended the call quick, didn’t want to hear more.

I got a call from some bloke speaking with what sounded like an Indian accent, saying, “Hello, this is the NHS. You’ve had your vaccination, haven’t you?” and he even used my last name! It’s baffling how they manage to get hold of our personal info and why it seems like no one can put an end to these scam calls.

Saw that earlier mention about putting an end to those scam calls and it caught my eye. Gonna look into it further. Something needs to be done because blocking doesn’t help till after the call’s already been made. But it’s not gonna happen without loads of people making noise, can’t do it alone.

It was obvious a total Covid scam. The caller had an Asian accent and said they were from the “NHS Covid Department,” but it just didn’t feel right.

They rang up saying they were from the government about covid, but then they went off asking loads of personal stuff. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Somebody said they were from a government office about covid and started asking if I’d been vaccinated. When they got pushy I told them I’m not selling insurance and just ended the call straight away.

Got a call supposedly from the Covid Line, and they knew my name right off the bat. When I asked what it was about, the lady on the other end, who spoke with a really thick Asian accent, just dropped the call. It’s the third time they’ve rung me, and still can’t handle the most basic questions. Pretty frustrating stuff.

Somebody rang me pretending to be from the "COVID 19 Department." Seemed dodgy, so I just ended the call. Probably another scam, if you ask me.

Got a call where they first asked me if I had any symptoms of Covid-19, then suddenly started grilling me about my insurance. Felt really dodgy, so I’m pretty sure it was a scam. Does that sound right?

Somebody rang me claiming to be from Citizens Advice, telling me about some debt forgiveness program. When I questioned them, they just hung up. I told them I'd get in touch with Citizens Advice myself. Seems like a total scam to me.

Someone with an Indian accent rang me and was talking super quickly, then just ended the call before I could say anything. Not sure what the call was for but I’m guessing it’s just another cold call, so I’m just gonna block the number.

There was this caller with an Indian accent who spoke really quickly. I think they mentioned something about owing money, but I couldn't catch it all. I just replied in Welsh acting like I didn’t get their English. Funny enough, they couldn’t even say my name right!

Got a call from this number earlier, claiming to be from Citizens Advice. When I repeated it to make sure, the guy suddenly said it wasn’t actually Citizens Advice but some other company - I couldn’t catch the name clearly. When I asked him again what company it was, he just told me to trust him and not to stress about it, then he just ended the call. Would definitely suggest blocking this number.

I’ve had three calls so far from this number, all asking about my Covid vaccine status, and then suddenly shifting to questions about life insurance. Feels like a classic scam trying to snag personal info. I’m not picking up if they ring again. Anyone know if the police can do anything about this?

Got a phone call from a lady speaking with an Indian accent, claiming she was from the Covid Track and Trace team. She asked if I’d got my vaccine certificate in the post yet, which I hadn’t. She said she’d make sure it got sorted. When I asked why she was calling, I didn’t quite catch what she said. Then out of nowhere, she asked if I had life insurance to protect my family. I told her I didn’t think I had any, expecting her to try and pitch something, but instead she just said “Alright then, have a nice day” and hung up. Really strange. Tried calling the number back but no one answered and then the call dropped.

Got a few calls from different numbers, all from the same guy who said his name was Steven. He claimed he was ringing from some NHS support line, asking about my vaccine details and insurance policy. When I told him I wasn’t interested in talking about my insurance, he got quite rude. I asked him to take my number off their list, and he just said in a very cheeky way that they’d keep calling me anyway. This is already the third number he's used - definitely blocking them all now.
