⚠️The bogus calls, which will appear on screen as coming from a UK mobile number, tell victims that they must update their GP records or risk being struck off their practice.

⚠️But the unsuspecting target will then be asked to hand over sensitive information - including address, NHS number, or bank details - which will be used to steal their identity and their money.
