Greetings! Recently, I received a call from the number 01738 506668 in September 2023. It appears the caller’s first name is Kelvin. I’ve noticed this number pop up before, but I’m uncertain about their identity and the intentions behind their calls. If I happen to answer again and they inquire about my personal details, I feel a bit uneasy. Could this be a legitimate professional contacting me, or might it be a scam artist? I would truly value any tips or guidance on how to navigate this situation. Cheers! September 2023

Hello, I received a missed call from the number 01738 506668, but I haven’t the foggiest who it might be. The only detail I have is that the individual goes by the name Kelvin, yet I’m quite clueless about their surname. What’s rather unsettling is that they appear to have my mobile number and have previously contacted me, requesting personal information, which I firmly declined to share. If anyone could shed some light on who this Kelvin could be, I would be immensely grateful. It feels a bit odd and I’m keen to find out more. Thank you!

I've just received a notification from NHS Tayside about my forthcoming appointment. They've switched it from being conveniently located to a face-to-face meeting instead. Quite the adjustment!

This number appears to be linked to the NHS. Though it shows as being from Perth, they could be ringing you from just about anywhere. It's not solely the "COVID vaccination team" reaching out; it could originate from any department within the NHS and relate to a variety of subjects.

Is this the team responsible for NHS vaccinations?

This number belongs to Jason Orrock, associated with Digital Flex Solutions. It appears to be a fraudulent front. I'd steer clear of it if I were you.

I received a call from a number claiming to be NHS Tayside, but they didn't leave any voicemail. What’s concerning is that they don’t take calls back. I reached out to Perth Royal Infirmary for clarification, but they had no knowledge of that number at all. It's quite troubling, especially with my outpatient appointment looming.

He insisted that we were acquainted and that I’d spent the previous evening with him. However, I’m well aware of his identity. When I probed for my name, he incorrectly stated it was Louise, which is certainly not the case. I also pointed out that we're nowhere near each other; I’m in England and he’s in Scotland! Quite amusing, really!

I’ve received a call from a number I don’t recognise.

NHS Tayside is reaching out to individuals to arrange appointments for the Covid vaccine.

Received a call at precisely 11:18 in the morning featuring a pre-recorded message claiming to be from Amazon Prime.

It appears that this phone number is associated with NHS Tayside. I received a call from it and attempted to return the call. However, as others have noted, it does not accept incoming calls. Instead, you’re greeted with an automated message confirming it’s NHS Tayside. I was anticipating a call from my GP later on, so it seems they might have been trying to reach me before our arranged time.

This number buzzed both my mobile and home phone, but didn’t bother to leave a message! Even more irritating, I can’t seem to get through when trying to return the call! What a nuisance!

Tried calling my mobile and home line, but they didn't bother leaving a message - can't return the call either! It's beyond annoying, honestly.

Received a call on both my home phone and my mobile, but there was no voicemail left behind! Can't seem to get through when trying to call the number back either.

I received a call today from a landline in Perth, and I haven't the faintest clue who it might be. When I attempted to return the call, I was met with a message saying that incoming calls aren’t accepted. Quite baffling, really!

Unfamiliar number.

Yesterday, I received a call from this landline number based in Perth, and frankly, I have no clue who was on the other end. I tried to return the call, but it turned out the number doesn't take incoming calls. Quite baffling, really. Best, Yasmina Thornbury
