The calls feature heavy accents and sometimes become abusive if questioned. They aim to extract personal information, including life insurance details, and frequently end abruptly when challenged.

Received a call from someone with a thick Asian accent today. They said they were ringing on behalf of Public Health Scotland regarding some sort of problem with my vaccination certificate. Honestly, it felt rather dodgy to me! I can't shake the feeling that this is just a clever scam.

This was a dodgy vaccine scam, and the person on the other end was really rude, swearing at me and even called me deaf. If you can catch it before answering, best just block the number straight away.

I got a call where an Asian chap picked up and claimed he was from public health. By the way, does the SA in the company address stand for South Africa?

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Public Health Scotland about updating my vaccine records. Then they started asking weird questions about my life insurance and who my provider was. When I asked them to prove who they were, they just ended the call! Total SCAM, be careful! 🤬

People called saying they were from Public Health England about my vaccine record being wrong. I work as a covid nurse and my records are all fine. This is totally a scam trying to steal your details and get in. Be careful!

Got a ring from 01686 948082 and this person with an Asian accent said they were from ‘public health’, wanting to talk about my vaccine. I told them this was about the tenth time I’d had a call like this. They just hung up after that. Blocked the number straight away.

I got a call supposedly from Public Health England asking if I'd had my vax. I kept pressing them on WHY they needed to know, like over and over. Then out of nowhere, the bloke asks me if I believe in God! I told him it's none of his business, and he ended up calling me a really rude name, twice! At that point, I just hung up. These sorts of scams are a joke, especially when they can't even get their English right.

Someone rang claiming to be from Public Health England. I told them to sod off. Then they switched tack, saying I had a major issue and needed to give my address. After that, they started going on about a problem with my computer that had to be fixed. Honestly, they seemed to have no clue which scam they were running.
