01208227139 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01208227139 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from individuals claiming to be "John" from a Medical Alert Centre, offering free medical alert pendants. Callers use scripted prompts asking about age, health, and mobility, often targeting older or vulnerable people. The calls frequently originate from varying numbers within Cornwall or Dorset but lack credible organisational details and may involve automated or robotic voices. Many recipients note the calls are intrusive, pushy, and sometimes silent, with no messages left on voicemail. The callers often refuse to clarify how they obtained personal information, raising privacy concerns. It is advised not to engage or provide personal or medical details, report the calls to the official fraud authorities, and block the numbers where possible to help reduce nuisance and potential data abuse.

Totally a scam from abroad. They first rang me about some medical alert pendant or whatever, then just a few hours later they phoned again and this time, it was about renewing insurance for household appliances! Definitely scammers.

He called offering a free medical alert pendant. When I asked where he got my details from, he wouldn't say. I told him I thought that was a breach of data privacy and ended the call.

Pretty sure this was some sort of robocall because the entire message was left on my voicemail, which doesn’t seem like something a real person would do. Here’s what they said: “Hello, this is John calling from the Medical Alert Center. I’m reaching out today because our records indicate you might qualify to receive a medical alert pendant for free. To check your eligibility, may I ask if you’re above 50 years old?”

Got a call from some bloke chatting about a medical alert pendant. Seemed a bit fishy to me, so I didn’t bother hanging around and just ended the call. Pretty sure they picked my number because I live with an older relative.

Got a call from some medical alert guy, bit of a pushy bloke really. Kept bombarding me with loads of questions about how I’m getting about and my health. Wouldn’t stop going on, just kept trying to convince me to buy some pendant thing. Eventually got sick of it and just hung up. I’m sure they’ll ring again soon, probably from a different number too!

Got a call from some eager young bloke pushing medical alert stuff. He kept bombarding me with questions about how I move around and my health, wouldn’t stop talking at all. Tried to get me to agree to one of those pendant deals. I couldn’t be bothered after a bit and just ended the call. Bet he’ll ring back with a new number soon enough!

I quickly figured out it was a scam and decided to hang up after they asked their first few questions.

Got a call from some bloke saying he was with Medical Alert and was giving away free alarm pendants. He then wanted me to go through some "checks" but when I asked him again which company he was calling from, his tone shifted real quick and I just ended the call. Smells like a dodgy scam to me.

I got a call from someone named John who said he worked at a medical alert monitor place in Dorset. The whole thing stressed me out because I thought it might be about a hospital visit I just had. He kept saying he was just starting the job and didn’t really give me any clear answers, just stuck to some prepared lines. Also, he kept trying to cut the call short without telling me why he’d called me specifically. Quite suspicious and annoying!

Got a call from a bloke called John who claimed we qualified for a free medical alert pendant. Then he asked if we were over 50. When I asked where he was calling from, he said Dorset but said they operated across the UK. I told him I’d never heard of the company he mentioned, then he just hung up. Sounds like a typical scam, probably would’ve tried to get my debit card info for “postage and handling” on this supposedly free thing. Our number is unlisted so no idea how they even got hold of it.

Some bloke named John called me about getting a medical pendant, said I could qualify for one. I asked if it was because I’m over 50, then wanted to know how he found my number. Suddenly, he just dropped the call. Weird.

I don’t get why all these scammers go by the name John! I just got another call saying I might qualify for some medical alert bracelet. I’m pretty sure 'John' is just trying to make a living, but honestly, I wish he and others doing this sort of thing would get a real job. Money must be tight for everyone, but it’s frustrating that guys like John keep ringing up like this instead of doing something more legit.

A guy with a really sure-sounding voice said he was ringing from some medical alert company, claiming I qualified for a free medical alert necklace. When I asked him to prove he had my name in their system, he suddenly freaked out and ended the call. Watch out, this is definitely a scam trying to get your personal info. If you get a call like this, just call them out on it and hang up straight away, then block the number.

I got a call from 01208227139 asking about my medical stuff. I told them my number’s on the TPS list so they shouldn’t be ringing me up like this. After that, they just ended the call. I’ve also lodged a complaint with the TPS.

Just like a few others before, this guy called saying his name was John and mentioned something about qualifying for a free Medical Alert bracelet. He asked if I’m over 50. When I pressed him about where he got my number from, he said he partnered with local groups. Thing is, he claimed he’s in Bodmin and I’m nowhere near there. Tried to find out which groups but he just kept rambling through his spiel. Ended up hanging up.

Got a call from John who sounded really sure of himself. He said I qualified for a free medical alert or something like that, but it was clear he had no clue who I was. He asked if I was older than 50. I didn't want to say and asked where he got my details from. He said they cooperate with loads of groups in my area. When I pressed him to name exactly which ones shared my info, he just hung up on me.

I got a call from someone called "John" who tried to convince me I could qualify for some kind of Medical Alert service. He quickly began asking personal stuff like my age, and it became clear it was just a dodgy sales call. The whole thing felt fake, so I just ended the call straight away. It’s frustrating because these sorts of calls can really fool older folks. Mostly, they’re just a waste of time, but they’re definitely pretty annoying.

These people called pretending to be from some medic alert scheme, saying you qualify for a free alert button. Honestly, it's all a load of rubbish - they're just a marketing firm trying to scam you.

Got a call claiming their info showed I might have a health issue that could use one of those medical alert pendants. When I asked who in the house they were referring to, they just said they needed to verify my age and medical details first, so I asked again. They told me a manager would ring me back. Would have sounded quite legit if I actually had a health problem. Since they never got back to me, no idea what they were after - my guess is they wanted to gather my name, address, and health info at the very least.

I’ve seen a few folks going on about their right to a medical alert bracelet or chain, and then they proceeded to ask questions that made it clear they weren’t quite aware of whom they were dealing with. It struck me as a classic case of phishing, if you ask me.

I received a rather authoritative call from someone purporting to be associated with medical alert services, claiming that I was eligible for a complimentary medical alert pendant according to their files. When I requested them to verify my name as it appeared in their system, the caller seemed to lose their composure and abruptly ended the conversation. It's wise to be cautious! This appears to be a malicious scam aiming to extract your personal information. If you receive such a call, it’s best to simply disconnect.

An articulate gentleman, fluent in English, informed me that I might qualify for a complimentary Medical Alert pendant, as per their records. When I requested clarification on his identity, he claimed to be representing the Medical Alert Centre located in Dorset, and inquired if I was over the age of 50. At that moment, I decided to end the call, as my instincts raised red flags about a potential scam. A quick search online revealed that this seems to mirror a fraudulent scheme currently active in the United States.

I received a phone call from a well-articulated young gentleman, who introduced himself as ‘John’. He suggested that based on their records, I might qualify for a medical alert pendant. However, when I inquired about the origin of their ‘records’, he kept deflecting with phrases like, ‘I’m new here, and my manager will clarify everything when he gets in touch with you’. The same evasive tactic was employed when I pressed him for the name of the company he represented. It certainly has the hallmarks of a scam, targeting the elderly and those who may be more susceptible.

I received a rather dubious call from someone claiming I was on a medical register for a pendant. When I quizzed him about the name on that list, he just brushed me off and said thanks for my time. Before he could end the call, I managed to label him a scam artist. Quite the cheek!
