01208227109 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01208227109 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving unsolicited calls from a caller, often named "John," claiming to offer free medical alert pendants to people over 50, particularly targeting those living alone. Callers use scripted pitches, avoid answering questions, and frequently disconnect when challenged on how they obtained personal information. Many recipients are registered with the Telephone Preference Service and have unlisted numbers, yet still receive these calls, raising serious data protection concerns. The operation appears to pressure individuals into providing personal or financial details, with some victims inadvertently sharing sensitive information. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, not to disclose any personal data, and to report the calls to relevant authorities. Blocking the number is ineffective as the scammers use multiple spoofed numbers to persist.

Received a call regarding a medical alert pendant. Definitely feels like a scam or just another annoying telemarketer.

Got a call from 01208227339 offering a free medical alert bracelet. When I asked who they were, the person said they were from Dorset and the company had been around for 5 years. I pressed further about where they got my number from, and they claimed it was from a local group. Then they mentioned it’s meant for people over 50 and useful for those living alone. I told them there was no way I’d give any info to a random cold caller, especially with all the scams these days. When I questioned how I could trust them, they just hung up on me! Definitely gave me a dodgy vibe, like a scam to me.

Some bloke called me claiming I qualified for a Medical Alert and then asked if I was above 50. I told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Pretty clear it was a scam.

The person on the other end stayed quiet for a few moments, then let out a brief chuckle, only to disconnect straight after. Quite peculiar, really!

I received a call from a chap named John just last night. It was painfully clear that he was reading off a script, as whenever I posed a question, he'd simply loop back to his initial monologue without so much as a breath. He claimed that I qualified for a complimentary Medic Alert pendant, and when I inquired about its purpose, he mentioned something about notifying friends or family in case of a fall, and if they were unavailable, some sort of backup assistance. I tried to dig deeper and asked what other features the alert had, but again, he just reverted to reciting his spiel. He introduced himself as representing a firm called Fintastica Marketing. After a number of attempts to clarify my queries, he eventually terminated the call.

I’m on the TPS list but still got a random call when I couldn’t pick up, so my missus answered instead. The bloke was asking if she tends to fall down a lot and can she manage to get up on her own. She said no to falling and yes she can stand up. Then she mentioned she’s got a husband and just hung up straight away.

My elderly dad was sadly duped into thinking a call was from the NHS, and he ended up handing over his NHS number and address. What a load of con artists! I’ve already informed BT about it and trying to warn as many folks as I can. Such scummy behaviour.

Received a call from 01208 227109 out of the blue, where they said I might qualify for a medical alert bracelet. They immediately started asking for my age. I made it clear I wouldn’t share any personal details over the phone and ended the call. I’m on the TPS and even a former director, so unwanted calls like this are usually dodgy. Not sure if there’s any risk involved, but it felt pretty harassing, especially since they were fishing for personal info. I’ve blocked the number now and if they ring again from a different one, I’ll be reporting it to the cops.

My landline rang but no voicemail was left. I was busy on another call so couldn’t pick up. Later I looked up the number to see if it was anyone familiar. I’m on the TPS and my number isn’t listed publicly. Thought I’d add my experience to your records to show I got a random call out of the blue.

Got a call out the blue from someone pitching a free medical alert system registration. I asked if they could email me the details, thinking they must have my email too since they already had my phone number (I was kinda hoping it was a legit call). The guy then said sorry, admitted he was new and just reading from a script. I told him to chat normally like a real person, but all he did was say thanks and then ended the call. Bit weird really.

Some bloke called John telling me I qualified for a medical alert device. I told him he hadn’t even asked for me properly, so there was no way he knew who he was speaking to. Totally a scam in my opinion.

Got a call about 6pm from 01208 227109, and my neighbour got the same one. A bloke calling himself John claimed he’d looked at my medical records and knew I was over 50, unwell, and living alone - totally made up! He wanted to sell me a medical alert pendant. This is a dodgy SCAM, please be careful. We’ve got an ex-directory number here in Hexham so NEVER share any info with these people.

Got a call from 01208227109 the other day. A polite guy claiming to work for a medical alert firm rang me up about a potential medical alert device I might qualify for. Thing is, he never bothered to verify my name or explain how he got my info, just mentioned some local groups. He asked if I was over 50 and if I needed a walking stick. When I told him I was sceptical about scams and wasn't convinced I needed such a device, he just hung up on me.

Today I got a call from a bloke who sounded quite pushy, saying I could get a medical discount. I asked him how he even got my info, and he claimed he was with some firm in Dorset that gave him my details. I told him I was a bit shocked since I’m in a vulnerable group but didn’t think I needed a discount card. Oddly, he didn’t even know my name. Then he just said “have a nice day” and hung up. Watch out, this number’s definitely dodgy.

A bloke called John rang me up asking if I was over 50 and said I might qualify for a medical alert device if I had trouble moving around. My mum also got a call from the same number earlier today, but she just hung up since she couldn't hear anything. When I asked where he got my number from, he said his boss gave him a list with numbers on it. I pressed him again about how he got my details and told him it's illegal to cold call like that under data protection laws, and he just said alright and ended the call. Feels like a total scam aimed at people over 50. Absolutely dreadful.

Just got a call from someone claiming that since I’m older and live by myself, I should get a medical alert system. I cut them off right away saying I wasn’t interested and they hung up straight away. What’s worrying is that my number is unlisted, so how on earth did they find it?

Got a call from someone saying they were with 'Medical Alert' trying to sell some kind of 'medical pendant'. They mentioned working with 'local groups' to find older folks who live on their own. Obviously nothing to do with any legit health or council services. When I wasn’t interested, they just ended the call pretty sharpish.

On the 17th of March 2022, I got a call from a bloke who said his name was John and that I might qualify for some kind of pendant. He claimed to be ringing from the Medical Alert Centre. He asked if I was above 50 years old, but I didn't reply to that. Instead, I asked him to repeat who he was, and when he seemed unsure what to say, I just ended the call.

I just got a ring from this number. The bloke sounded really sure of himself, kept saying I needed some kind of medical alarm. Didn’t even bother asking my name, just asked if I had any health issues. He didn't say who he was either, which I thought was quite cheeky! Even after I told him no, he kept going on until I flat out said I wasn’t interested in buying one. Proper annoying!

After that, he just stopped answering my questions, kept pushing this scam stuff. He was trying to make me admit if I’m older than 50 or not. I didn’t tell him owt and ended up hanging up while he was still yakking.

Received a call purporting to be from Medic Alert, saying I was eligible for a complimentary Medic Alert Pendant. However, when I asked for my name, they were utterly clueless and couldn’t pull up my information to verify anything. It’s clear this is a complete ruse. I've seen that several others have lodged complaints with the Information Commissioner's Office about the same nonsense.
