Just 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!

This 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

This bloke called me and said if I fit the criteria after answering a few questions, I could get a free pendant alarm. He refused to say where he got my number from, just that it was on some sort of list. Wouldn’t reveal how or where that list came from either. Honestly, it’s worrying that someone might be putting together info on vulnerable folks and their addresses.

This guy called me trying to sell some sort of medical safety gadget, and he started by asking if I was over 50. When I questioned where he got my number from, he muttered something about “recent building work” nearby. 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.

Got 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. Didn’t get asked for card info or anything, but he said someone would ring me back in a couple of hours.

Got a call from someone pushing a medical alert device. When I mentioned I already had one free and really didn’t want another, he suddenly sounded a bit pushy. He spoke so fast I could barely get a word in. I ended up just hanging up. Also, he tried asking about any health issues I might have, but I didn’t give him any details.

I received a call from someone claiming to be associated with "Independent Living," stating that they had received my details from their manager. When I pressed them for clarification on how they obtained my information, they simply fell silent. Sensing something was off, I expressed my concerns about it potentially being a scam and requested further details about the source of the referral-who had sent them, where they were based, and the reason behind it. At that point, they just ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I got a cold call from someone trying to push a "special deal" on what they just called "the device" - they didn’t explain what it actually was or what it does before I cut them off. The way they spoke made me feel they had access to my private medical info, which really creeped me out. My number's supposed to be private, not listed anywhere, and I’m signed up with the telephone preference service - yet these dodgy calls keep coming through!
