Tried to ask me about my covid vaccinations. I told him it had nothing to do with him and he waffled on about being with the NHS. I then said "No you aren't " and he put the phone down.

Indian sounding man called saying he’s from covid vaccination centre and started asking me if I have both of my vaccinated cards to prove my jabs. I said why are you asking me this. He said you need your cards for your vaccinations. I said I have them. He said okay I can check and read out an address and I said is this your address I’ll send it out as a letter. I said no it’s not and I dont want one and he said okay can I get your new address I said na I dont know who you are. And hung up
Came in as potential fraud on my phone display so I didn't answer. Looking at other comments here seems I was right to be suspicious.
Man called with foreign accent. Brentford number. Knew my first name. Asked if I was fully vaccinated. Said he was from Covid Track and Trace. Told him I’ve never used this service. Didn’t seemed genuine so hung up
Came up as Brentwood number Indian man Said they are from the Covid helpdesk and asked if I was fully vaccinated - I said what is it u want then he hung up ! Def dodgy
Thought it was an important call so answered. Should have realised it was spam when the woman wouldn’t hold for a couple of minutes while I walked outside to take call. When she said Covid-19, that’s when I realised it was spam and hung up! Blocked now!
Indian/Bangladeshi sounding guy called and said he was from NHS help desk and asked if I had both vaccinations and the booster. When I told him he would already know this if he was from the NHS he hung up. Scammer that needs a dry slap
Said he was calling about covid, asked him where he was from and he said NHS test and trace so asked him to give me proof of that. He said ok then asked me to prove it?! Told him he needed to verify who he was I didn’t need to do anything. Gave me an ID number but when I asked where I could look that up he said an NHS office in London, told him that sounded suspicious and he hung up 🤷🏻♀️
Foreign speaking guy, claims first to call from Covid vaccination team when asked for full name and told call is being traced by police hung up
Said they are from the Covid helpdesk???? When I said your number comes up as spam she hung up. Dodgy.
Asked me about covid vax, life insurance, and knee my home address.
