Indian woman saying she is from NHS track and trace and “updating my life insurance details”. I asked her why she does this, if she doesn’t feel any remote or if she sits there feeling c**p about herself. She hung up.

Asking about COVID, then went on to ask about Private Health Care and if I had a policy. I asked if this was a sales call and she said “no” then I asked her which company she was calling from and she said it was from NHS updating our records…after a lot of quizzing and avoidance from her she finally told me to Fu€¥ off about twenty times and then hung up the phone.

Claimed calling from NHS - was called on a different number yesterday that I blocked exactly same thing! 01204 899143 I’ve actually worked for NHS on outbound calls and this is 100% not legit!

Caller claimed to be from NHS, asked about my vaccination status, then started asking about life insurance. Definitely a scam.
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
Same as others, asking about COVID vaccinations and then life insurance. Clearly linked to other scam calls I've received recently.
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
This number calls frequently but hangs up when I answer.
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Dangerous
Same as the other comments claims to be from NHS - "just 3 questions" about covid vaccs then leads to life insurance questions.. With many more questions - no answers given, told him it sounded like a scam. I had the other scam calls yesterday so appears they are linked

Had several of these calls. Caller said they were from NHS asking about my vaccine history. I told him it was a scam, but he insisted it wasn't. Eventually, I hung up.

Asian accent purporting to be from NHS, asking about covid in the household. When I challenged why they wanted this information, caller said 'okay, put your phone down, f*** off', so clearly not a legitimate call.

Pretended to be from the NHS. I blocked a similar number (01204 899143) yesterday for the same thing.

This caller claimed money was taken from my account, which is quite alarming.

Claimed from NHS asking about vaccinations for COVID, said I’d get a certificate in post and asking about my life insurance. When I refused to give any answers and said I did not believe they were from the NHS they hung up.

Claimed to be from NHS..askednifni had life insurance as soon as is said no they hung up..thinking if I had said yes they would be acting sinister...SCAM
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
Didn't answer, but had a call from a separate, obviously scam number yesterday. I was pinged by NHS track & trace yesterday (which was legit) so someone in the NHS call handling job must be leaking data to these scam companies, as I can see from the comments the scam is relating to NHS/Covid. Block and ignore! Convenient it was a Chorley area code, and I live in Bath, so knew it was spam.

Called many times. Unknow reason or purpose. (if you dont say hello then it fools the Auto Dialer system so it disconnects / hangs up). I usually wait for the caller to say something as a method of weeding out nuisance calls. Volume of Nuisance calls has noticeably increased this week.
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
Claim to be NHS, couldn't understand what they wanted heard something about life insurance and with that l said what's that got to do with NHS and that l was finishing the call - so l did.
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Dangerous
Didn't answer the call as the number wasn't known to me, but after reading comments on here, I blocked the number along with 01204 899143 which called me yesterday.

Had a few of these calls. Guy claimed to be from NHS and was asking about my vaccine history. I told him this is a well known scam and kept saying it wasn't. Eventually I told him to get a new job and hung up
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Dangerous
Hung up when I answered, I get a couple of these each week, different numbers but I've had quite a few starting 01257

Claimed to be from my Life Insurance company, tried to connect me to a 3rd party who would provide alternative quotes
User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
Have received 3 calls from this number today, first 2 no one there when i picked up, On 3rd occasion claimed to be something to do with NHS Covid but as I'd already checked this number out & it showed up as being from Coppull he claimed to be at the elephant & castle in London I hung up.

User reported 01257 42 9636 as Harassing
Said they were from NHS "updating the COVID vaccinations database". I refused to give them information. He said that it was my right to refuse then asked about life insurance so he could update "the life insurance on the NHS database". As luck would have it, I was not born yesterday
