🚨Fraud Alert 🚨

Vishing Call (Impersonation of a medical professional)

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 Remember our Surgery will Never ask for Funds for Medication – if this has happened to you please report to the Surgery. 

Many Thanks Leesbrook Surgery
