Known Scam: Patient Telephone Calls

Posted on March 28th, 2018

We have been notified by Sheffield CCG that a patient has been contacted by someone claiming to be from an online pharmacy quoting the Department of Health.  The patient was advised that they would be unable to order prescriptions through their normal method and would need to go through them otherwise their medication would be stopped.

Please be advised that this is not the case, and if you receive a telephone call similar to this our suggestion is that you terminate the call, be extra vigilant and seek advice before agreeing to anything generated from an unsolicited phone call.
