Be careful with this number. It quoted my name and stated that it was an important message. Press. One and two. To confirm Who you are. It sounds like a scam to me. So we didn't reply. It sounded like someone from the NHS. Now reporting this to the NHS And my telephone provider.

I had this on voicemail, o2 said it was 4 minutes long. I can't speak Welsh but I'd just come back from holiday there where I'd been in A&E because I'd fell down some dangerous stairs at my holiday cottage. I assumed it was something to do with that, so, I pressed 1, 2 and 9 thinking it was going to say it in English instead. After reading these posts I'll block it.

I got this call in Welsh purporting to be from the NHS calling about my wife in hospital. I wonder if the hospital wifi (provided by a subcontractor for several NHS establishments) has been hacked. It sounded like a scam so I hung up

Likely to be a scam better to block. They're trying to get to connect if its legit then they will send a letter

If this is you press 1. If it is not you press 2. To listen to the message again press 9. Nothing else was said whatsoever. On impulse I did a redial. 'This number is not accepting calls at the moment, please try later.' Recorded voice preceded and followed by silence.
