Received a call yesterday from someone purporting to be with a government debt collection agency.

Covid con job

It's a complete ruse surrounding the Covid jabs.

Fraudulent activities surrounding the Covid vaccine.

Inquiring if one has received their vaccinations and if they hold any life insurance policy.

Received a call from someone purporting to be from public health, inquiring about my vaccinations and life insurance policies. I decided to end the conversation and hung up. Now, this number keeps pestering me with calls. Time to block it!

Fraud surrounding Covid jabs.

The chap on the other end mentioned he was Oliver from the Credit Investigations Department. That was enough for me; I just cut the call.

I've had three calls from this number claiming to be about COVID-19. I mentioned that I’m registered with the mobile preference service, and they promptly hung up.

Mysterious phone call with no response.

Absolutely a scam call! They pretended to be from the health department regarding COVID-19.

I've been receiving calls from some dodgy outfits claiming to be the health department, asking about my vaccination status. They’re all asking if I’ve had my two jabs. It's quite suspicious!

This caller was just like the rest of them. They rang me up proclaiming they could see that I’ve been fully vaccinated and wanted my confirmation. I simply replied, "Well, if that's what it indicates." Then they inquired whether I'd experienced any side effects, to which I replied, "None at all." Following that, they wanted to know if I had life insurance, and I confirmed that I did. When they asked which company it was with, I said I couldn't recall. They even pushed me to take a wild guess, but I honestly couldn't remember. After thanking me for my time, they bid me farewell. I’m baffled as to what they gain from these conversations, since they didn’t seek any personal details nor attempted to sell me anything.

A caller claimed to be from the NHS vaccination centre regarding Covid, but promptly ended the call when I refused to disclose the name of my life insurance provider. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

It seems likely that they might pass your information on to insurance firms, leading to those unsolicited phone calls flooding your line.

I'll be honest, I received two calls from these people and decided to let them ring out, but I eventually answered on the third try. The caller introduced himself as “John Thompson” and had a thick Indian accent – probably from Southern India, if I had to guess. It was utter chaos on his end, clearly some kind of call centre setup. He claimed to be ringing from the “NHS Covid 19 Department” and was eager to “verify some information.” Well, that raised my suspicions to high alert! I thought it was a scam, plain and simple. So, I hung up and blocked the number without a second thought.

I opted not to pick up the phone, and I'm glad I didn't, as the comments hinted at it being a dodgy call. Now I'm totally convinced it was a scam!

I received a call purporting to be from the NHS, claiming to have information about my Covid vaccinations and requesting details regarding my private health insurance. Clearly, it's a dodgy scam.

I received a phone call from a gentleman sporting an Asian-American accent, who was inquiring about the NHS Covid Certificate. It struck me straight away as a scam, so I confronted him about it and swiftly disconnected the call. Fast forward four hours, and lo and behold, the same number rang me yet again. This time, I chose to ignore it and promptly blocked the number. I also took the liberty of reporting the incident via text to 7726, the service that looks into dodgy texts and phone calls.

They said they were conducting a survey regarding the Covid vaccine. Strangely, they already knew my name. They’ve rung me several times. However, the moment I request they clarify who they are, they seem to go all fuzzy and evasive. It could potentially be genuine, but honestly, I have my doubts.

I received a call purporting to offer debt assistance. After expressing my frustration over the incessant calls from various different numbers—especially since I don’t have any debts—the caller abruptly cut the line on me. Quite rude, if you ask me!

Received a call purportedly from the NHS, though the chap had a distinctly Indian accent. He bombarded me with inquiries about my Covid-19 jabs and then veered off to ask about my life insurance. I promptly pointed out that this didn’t seem very NHS-like. He insisted he wasn’t trying to sell anything, but then probed into who my life cover was with. When I replied that I didn’t have that information to hand, he bizarrely suggested I simply pick a company since he was struggling to wrap up the conversation. Curiously, he even inquired about my monthly premium. That’s when I decided enough was enough and hung up. Strangely enough, the same number tried to ring me back three times on the trot, but I opted to let it go to voicemail.

I've received a couple of calls from something called "the Covid help desk." They claimed to know I've been vaccinated and inquired if I had my certificate handy. Then they delved into whether I have life insurance and the name of the provider. When I mentioned that I obtain mine through my employer, they grew rather insistent, pressing me for the name of the insurer. Quite cheeky, if you ask me!

I have absolutely no clue who this is, but they've tried reaching out to me six times at the very least! My phone seems to pick it up straight away as a scam call. Best advice? Just ignore it and block the number!

I've received a couple of calls from this number on my phone – didn't pick up either time. Decided to look it up here, and after reading what others have said, I'm definitely going to block it now.

Encountered an Indian gentleman, and it’s happened on two occasions now.

Just like others have mentioned, there were numerous inquiries regarding the coronavirus and vaccination status, then it swiftly transitioned to questions about life insurance. It’s clearly a scam!

Just wanted to chime in—I received a message indicating that the number I've dialled is incorrect. By the way, I'm situated in South Wales.

I received a call labelled as Newbury while I was working out at the gym, yet they didn't bother to leave a voicemail. After noticing some rather unflattering remarks about this number, I decided to block it immediately, as I reckon it’s a complete scam.

A man of Asian descent rang me claiming to be from the NHS regarding COVID vaccinations. I quickly realised he was spouting utter nonsense, so I cut the conversation short and hung up on him. He tried to ring me again, but I didn’t pick up — I've since blocked the number. It’s definitely a scam, without a shadow of a doubt.

This is definitely a con!

Received a call from 01635896110 but I didn't recognise it, so I chose to ignore it. It's now been blocked!

I received a call from someone claiming to be affiliated with the NHS, inquiring whether I had received my COVID jab. Then, they probed about whether I had received a letter featuring a bar code. The conversation then moved on to something else, but I couldn’t quite catch what they were saying, and before I knew it, they hung up! Quite odd, really.

I got a call from a number listed as being from Newbury, Hampshire, but right after I picked up, the line went dead. I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something similar, and according to the feedback here, it appears to be a dodgy operation. There’s talk about it being linked to Covid, vaccine inquiries, and life insurance scams. I've chosen to block the number for good measure.

A number popped up on my phone showing Newbury. Since I don't have any acquaintances there, I chose to ignore it. I looked it up on this site and promptly blocked the number. Yesterday, I also received a call from 01635 896112, which I’ve now blocked too. It’s really infuriating!

I received a call from an unfamiliar accent, apparently regarding matters related to Covid.

I received a call that I missed, so I decided to return the call as I have mates in the Newbury region. Upon calling back, I was met with a recorded message from BT stating it was an invalid number. It’s safe to say this seems like a scam to me.

It's quite concerning to be approached for sensitive health information, especially when they struggled to provide their NHS ID. They purported to be from the NHS but it felt like something dodgy was afoot. They were probing into my health situation and even tried to get my bank details – definitely smells like a scam!

A chap from the States left a voicemail claiming I’d dodged my taxes and insisted that I ring back right away or have my solicitor get in touch. Quite alarming, really!

Impersonating the NHS to peddle life insurance is just outrageous! It’s quite alarming how some individuals stoop so low to make a quick buck. It really undermines the trust in our healthcare system!

Received a call supposedly representing the NHS, seeking feedback on my thoughts regarding vaccination centres for COVID-19. They inquired about my satisfaction with the service provided. Strangely, they refrained from requesting any personal details but did conclude the call by asking which firm I had my life insurance with, which struck me as rather peculiar. I responded that I wasn’t certain, and they didn’t press for further information, ending the conversation on a courteous note. Makes me wonder if the COVID-related questions were merely a guise to promote life insurance? Quite an annoying interruption, but nothing too concerning.

Received a call purporting to be from the NHS regarding a booster for the vaccine.

I received a call from this number, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. When I attempted to return the call, I couldn’t get through.

It purports to be from the Covid vaccination team, but I reckon it's just a scam. The NHS typically reaches out via email or text message, not through random calls. Best to be cautious!

I've just had an eerily similar phone call for the second time now. The initial one came from a different number altogether, yet oddly enough, both were from an Indian gentleman. They begin chatting about the COVID jab and swiftly shift gears, aiming to fish for my personal information. The first chap was particularly persistent, attempting to pry into my life insurance information while insisting he was affiliated with the NHS or my GP. It’s clearly a spam call, so I decided to cut the conversation short and hung up without a second thought.

Received a call from a chap named "Michael" who identified himself as being part of a firm supposedly connected to the government, asking about the state of my COVID records. This immediately set off some alarm bells for me, given that my information is already stored in the NHS app. The gentleman inquired about whether I had received my vaccinations and how my health was faring. While he didn’t press me for any personal details, he did inquire about which company provided my life insurance, claiming their records indicated that it was set up privately. At that point, I felt rather uneasy with the conversation and decided to end the call. I'm left pondering if those COVID-related queries were merely a ruse to peddle insurance. In any case, it was nothing but a diversion.

Fraudster posing as someone affiliated with the NHS.

Similar to previous experiences, I received a call from a chap with an Indian accent inquiring about Covid-related matters. I informed him that all my details were recorded on the NHS system and promptly ended the conversation.

I received two calls from this number earlier today. I chose not to pick up since it wasn’t familiar to me. Interestingly, they didn’t bother leaving a message on either occasion.

I've had a remarkably akin experience to what many have shared here. I received a call from someone purporting to be "Mike," who was asking about Covid-related matters and trying to delve into my life insurance details. When I refused to divulge the name of my life insurance provider, the line suddenly went dead. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

Received a call from someone purporting to be from the NHS regarding Covid jabs. They didn’t stick around long and hung up almost instantly.

I experienced something quite similar to the rest of you on this thread. They were inquiring whether my vaccinations were current and then proceeded to ask for my date of birth, postcode, and other personal details. I politely declined, reasoning that if they were truly from the NHS, they would already possess all that information. They hastily ended the call – what a shocker!

I received a call regarding COVID, but I hung up thinking it was a scam.

The phone just keeps on ringing without a single message being left. It's rather annoying!

I received a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming to be with the NHS, inquiring about my health. They began probing about my Covid vaccinations, which struck me as a bit odd. So, I decided it was best just to hang up.

I received a rather unexpected call from a woman with an Indian accent who inquired about my COVID vaccination status. She seemed keen to confirm whether I’d had all my jabs and if I’d experienced any side effects. Just when I thought she was wrapping it up, she started throwing more questions my way. I had to clarify that I’m part of the NHS and that it’s highly unlikely they’d be reaching out to the public like this. I firmly told her I was terminating the conversation and hung up. Quite the nuisance, really!

Received a call claiming to be from the public health department in Manchester, despite the fact that the number was registered in Newbury. The moment I started to ask for clarification about the purpose of the call, they abruptly ended the conversation. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a call supposedly from Test and Trace, saying they needed to revise my medical information. However, I highly doubt the NHS would ring someone up with such ambiguous details merely to "update records." Quite suspicious, if you ask me!
