Said they were NHS safety alarms, they have my friend's details and knew what's in her account
A lady with an Indian accent called, saying she was from the NHS. She told me I was on a priority list, so I could get a free alarm watch or pendant. She wanted to check my date of birth and postcode, and said they would send paperwork to sign. There was a small service charge, then she asked for my bank name and sort code, so I hung up.
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
