A MEDICAL centre is warning its patients about a scam caller claiming to be from the NHS.
Mayflower Medical Centre, in Dovercourt, has issued a warning on its Facebook page about a scammer saying they are from the NHS prescription service and are offering free delivery.
The Facebook post said: "The calls have been coming from a mobile number and the caller will attempt to gain personal information, including your bank details.
"Should you receive one of these calls, hang up immediately.
"Someone genuinely calling from the NHS will never ask you for your bank details over the phone."
