4 yearsJust had a rather dodgy bloke ring me up claiming to represent a business named “Independent Living.” He bombarded me with all manner of intrusive questions regarding my residence and family. Clearly, this number raises red flags and it's not someone I'd recommend putting any faith in. Best to steer clear!Independent LivingBest4 yearsThis number rang my mum's house about three times, claiming social services had checked her for an alarm. Thing is, she was Italian, coming here a couple of times a year, but sadly she passed away more than nine years ago. Very odd call to get.Italy4 yearsGot a call from 01183389912 pushing some medical alert system. They said it would be free at the start, but I’m pretty sure they’ll ask for payment upfront later on and then charge for different services after. Sounded like pressure selling to me.4 yearsGot a call on my landline from 01183389912 but didn’t pick up as I wasn’t familiar with the number. No voicemail was left. After checking this site, turns out it’s a scammer.4 yearsThis bloke called me and said if I fit the criteria after answering a few questions, I could get a free pendant alarm.

I asked him what that had to do with anything, but he just brushed it off and kept going like nothing. I ended up just hanging up on him.4 yearsGot a call from some guy trying to flog a medical alert alarm pendant. He kept on about my age and health problems, trying real hard to sell it. I asked what company he was with and he said Medical Alert Monitoring Centre. The device itself was free, but they want £29.95 a month just for the answering service.
