Called today by 01242800256 an Indian man was insisting to speak to someone who doesn't own my number then hung up.
Male with thick Indian accent called saying public health England. I asked him to verify this. He told me because that is who he said he is then that is verification. I said not acceptable, I could say I'm the Queen but it doesn't prove I am. He said he would get his manager. Another guy came on phone and said they were related, nothing about verifying public health England. 1st guy came back on was very rude and told me I was wasting him time and I should tell him who my life policies are with. I told him I am going to report them to the police and I hung up. Please do not give them any info.
Man with a very heavy Indian accent calling from 01242 800 256, a number 'listed' as Cheltenham. Said he was calling from "the National Health Service". Asked me if I had had my third vaccination. I told him "you ought to know" (as it's detailed on medical records), and then asked him which department. He spluttered something about it being the "public health department". Told him it was a scam and he hung up.
