Indian lady (poor english) rang my mother twice. She said that she was calling from the NHS and that my mother could get a commmunity alarm/blood pressure machine. She said that she needed my mother's address to send paperwork and the machine. I gave her a postcode and she asked me to check the house number. I told her if she was from the NHS then she should already know the house number. She told me the wrong number and started to stutter, so I put the phone down. Very suspicious!
Slight Indian voice before hanging up
