6 monthsIf you get a call before the letter arrives, it’s fine to wait for the letter first. They don’t usually mind at all, and the staff are quite happy to help out and answer any questions without needing to verify any info. My GP practice just sends referrals automatically, like for bowel screening.6 monthsI got a call from the NHS for a lung cancer screening thing, which seemed proper legit. They sent a letter first, then did an assessment over the phone. You can easily find info about it on the NHS website or just google the screening programme yourself.NHS1 yearThe number really belongs to the NHS and is connected to their screening program that monitors your lung health.1 yearThere's this lung cancer screening scheme going on.Lung1 yearHey, just to clear things up, this isn't some kind of scam. It's an actual NHS screening to check on your lung health.NHS2 yearsMy husband rang up and got an appointment booked for a free NHS scan, so no, this isn’t a scam at all.2 yearsSeems like this scam is making the rounds once more. While the NHS does carry out lung screenings on certain patients, it’s always your GP who gets in touch either by letter or a call. If you’re unsure, just ring your GP and ask if you’ve been chosen. If they have no clue, then it’s definitely a scam.NHS2 yearsWhen I tried to return the call, it seemed to be a non-existent number.2 yearsI received a rather dodgy message on my mobile the other day, claiming to be from InHealth and stating that my doctor had chosen me for a lung screening programme. It appeared to be from the NHS, which made it all the more convincing. However, a quick search online revealed it to be a complete scam. Just a heads up-there are those out there who might be tricked by this. I've since removed the text from my phone. Stay safe!InHealthNHS2 yearsI got a couple of texts on my phone telling me to ring this number about a quick checkup. They said it was from my GP and was for people aged 55-74, whether smokers or not, to have lung screenings done. But after seeing what others said here, I decided not to bother calling them back.2 yearsGot a text from someone claiming to be the NHS about scheduling a lung screening. I called the number to set up an appointment and shared some details, but then I got suspicious and ended the call. I checked with my doctor’s office and they had no clue about it. After looking into the number myself, I found out it was actually a scam pretending to be medical. Thought I was too savvy to fall for these tricks, but it just shows how convincing they can be. Now I’m really worried they might have gathered a lot of personal info about me.NHS2 yearsThis number keeps texting me about a lung health screening that I never signed up for. I tried blocking it but no luck. When I rang my GP, they said they hadn’t given permission for this. Then out of the blue, I got a letter from the same company, which had my NHS number on it. I’m a bit worried now that my data might have been leaked.GP2 yearsDefinitely a scam, watch out!2 yearsGot a recorded message telling me to ring back about some health check supposedly from my local doctor. Total scam, don’t fall for it!2 yearsGot a call out of nowhere from this number. They left a voicemail telling me to get in touch with their team. After checking what others said about it, I decided to block the number.2 yearsThe lung screenings are definitely real, and the doctors only get informed once the scan has been done. My partner went for the scan, which was done in a mobile CT van parked outside the Asda on Portrack Lane. I had to search the number since it wasn’t saved in my phone, and when I picked up, there was no reply from the other end.AsdaPortrack Lane3 yearsAt first I was convinced it was a scam because my GP had no clue about it. But I just got a letter that looks pretty official, with my NHS number and other details, inviting me for a lung test. It seems genuine, yet the GP still says they haven’t heard anything about it. Quite confusing!3 yearsReceived a text from this number saying they wanted to arrange a lung function test in collaboration with my GP. I called my GP and they had no idea about any of it. The following day, a woman called Lucy phoned me to carry out a phone assessment that might result in an appointment. I told her my GP was unaware and I wasn’t interested, then ended the call. About six hours later, they messaged again asking me to call them for the assessment. Feels like a complete con to me.Lucy3 yearsGot a call from a number that looked like it was based in Truro, but the lady on the phone said she was ringing from Middlesborough about an NHS healthcheck. She said her name was Lucy, but never said who she was actually after. Bit confusing, really.MiddlesbroughTruroLucy3 yearsI got a text about booking a lung health check through the NHS. At first, I thought about calling, but after seeing what others have said, I’ve decided not to bother ringing them.NHS3 yearsI’ve got a bit of a concern here. It looks like they might be posing as NHS health checking services? I’ve seen names like Stephen and Carolyne linked to it. Is there any legitimacy to them? The number that’s showing up definitely appears to be dodgy, resembling a scam. What's the story?StephenCarolyne3 yearsGot a voicemail in three different languages claiming to be from DPD International. It said something about a package they couldn't deliver and that it might get destroyed if I don't act fast. They also called from the number 077829135453. Pretty suspicious if you ask me!DPD International3 yearsI've had several calls from this number recently, but since I didn’t recognise it, I chose not to pick up. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.3 yearsI reckon these taxi companies need to sort out their tax issues before we hear another thing from them. It’s daft how they dodge paying what they owe.3 yearsHad this supposed lung function test booked, but seems like my GP was completely clueless about it. They even arranged taxis from the private hospital for the appointment, which feels like a pointless use of NHS money. Total waste if you ask me.3 yearsI didn't pick up the call since I had no clue who it could be. Pretty sure it was just another spam number trying to get through.Submit Your Own Report (01642 045566)
