Fraud Alert
We have received notification from a local GP practice that one of their patients has received
a phone call from someone masquerading as a medical professional associated with their
practice.
They alleged they were a “senior health advisor” who worked alongside the practice
in question.
The caller engaged the patient initially by asking about their medical problems, both old and
ongoing. Once a rapport had been established, the caller then offered them some
medication which they could try at a cost, then proceeded to ask for bank details to proceed
with payment.
The number of the caller was 01900 516 559, a number that has been previously associated
with fraudsters for vehicle accident insurance call scams.
Please be aware that we will never ask for your bank details.
Please be vigilant against this type of fraud. You can report this to https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/contact-us
