The General Optical Council has issued a warning to its registrants
The General Optical Council has issued a warning to its registrants over unsolicited phones calls from a caller purporting to be from the regulator and trying to obtain personal information.
‘The caller has given the name of Katie and has been calling from a Manchester-based landline number ending 2081,’ said a spokesperson for the GOC.
The GOC said these individuals were neither employed or appointed to make calls and advised registrants not to offer any personal information. The matter has been reported to the Information Commissioner's Office and Action Fraud.
Registrants wishing to discuss the matter with the GOC should call 020 7580 3898.
