Called saying I had outstanding debt, when questioned about who they said it could be from bank A or bank B. When I asked them which one, they hung up. Obviously trying to get money out of people.

I have had 2 calls from these so far claiming to be Citizens Advice, when i asked if it was the government Bureau they said yes, whe i said the citizens advice bureau dont carry out cold calling they hung up both times so they are obviously making illegal claims for fraudulent calls.
Apparently calling from the Covid vaccine department and asked if I’ve had my jabs. I said that if that’s who they work for then they should already know that information. He said that he just needs verification and I said I didn’t believe him and he hung up!
Said hello and they hung up.
I have just had the same call me
Just got a call tried to phone back no answer believe to be spam
Pretty sure it’s spam as I asked who was speaking and they hung up after 2 seconds of incoherent talking
