I have read all the comments here so far and I thank you all for your help. I was called yesterday and they didn't leave a message or their name. As our phone has a call blocker they didn't get through. I have blocked the number.
Claimed from Department of Health. Asked if I had been vaccinated and did I have my relevant vaccination cards, when i asked sorry who are you? They heavily sighed and tutted! And i said you are being very rude! He then responded “I’m being rude because you can’t understand clear English” he then proceeded to be verbally abusive calling me all the names under the sun! Very evil twisted man.
Claims to be from health department and hung up when I quizzed her about her information on the covid certificate.
Called me and just burst out laughing on the line! Blocked
Said he was from the “UK Health Department”. I told him where to go and he swore at me as I was hanging up.
Claimed from Department of Health. Asked if I had been vaccinated and did I have my relevant vaccination cards. Then asked if I had life assurance and said additional benefits were available then asked how much my direct debit was so told them this is irrelevant and I didn't believe it to be a genuine call, blocked number

Caller said they were from the government - Department of Health and Social Care. They wanted to let me know about additional benefits available as I "have a life insurance policy". As I don't, I told them I thought they were scammers and hung up.
