LOCALS are being urged to remain vigilant after scammers pretending to be GP practices have been targeting locals.
Those who are affected are being told to not share personal information and report and suspicious activity to the Action Fraud website.
A spokesperson for South Yorkshire ICB said: “We have been made aware of a scam targeting patients registered with local GP practices.
“Patients have reported receiving cold calls saying ‘your GP needs to update your details to avoid you being suspended’.
“GP practices will never ask for sensitive personal information in this manner.”
