01255879555...... claiming they help people who are in dept. Which I'm not

Hi there, I have received a number of calls from this landline. Today I answered and I was asked for by my name. Sounded like a scam. I insisted on having the full name of the caller which he was reluctant to give. Eventually he gave 'Jonathan Franklin'. He claimed to be calling from the 'NHS' and 'Public Health Department' but could not give me any further details eg is designation, departmental address etc. He then became defensive and aggressive and asked me why I was asking all these questions. I told him, because I thought he was a scammer. He admitted to this, stating yes he was a scammer and to go ahead and report him, as I said that I would. So here we are.

3 calls today - each time the caller hung up. Complete nuisance. What's the point? He's a total fake as we now know. Blocked.
