    Scam phone call?

    Just had a call from a woman claiming to be calling on behalf of the DoH. She wanted to "confirm" the name of the pharmacists here, so that she could sort out some CPD.

    I asked her if she was actually calling from the department, and she said no, she was calling from an outsource company.

    I said I wasn't interested. 1471- number withheld

    Was I wrong?
    ....just my opinion
