01208227198 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01208227198 👆 is reported as a nuisance scam call predominantly promoting supposed free medical alert pendants or monitoring devices. Callers, often identifying as "John" or representatives from a medical alert centre, ask personal questions such as age and medical conditions to establish "eligibility." Many recipients suspect the callers exploit medical information, possibly obtained through unofficial sources, targeting vulnerable individuals. The calls frequently breach the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) rules and typically end abruptly when challenged about data sources. While some callers appear polite, the consensus is that the calls aim to sell overpriced or unnecessary products under the guise of healthcare, with no relation to NHS services. Most advise hanging up immediately, avoiding engagement, and reporting the number to relevant authorities for blocking.

Got a call from a bloke named John who said he could provide a medical alert button to wear around my neck. He claimed I was eligible for one. When he started asking loads of questions, I wanted to know where he’d got my info from. As soon as I pressed him about it, he just dropped the call. It’s crazy how these callers seem to know so much about your age and situation - really easy to fall for their stuff.

Got a call from some bloke named John who was pushing a “Free Medic Alert Bracelet.” I told him he had the wrong details and firmly asked him to take my number off his list since I’m on the TPS register. The number ringing me was 01208227198.

Similar to what others have mentioned, they asked if I was above 50 to see if I could get a medical alert pendant. I said no thanks quite nicely. Then they kept probing for more details… seemed like just a sales push for some expensive alert device to me.

Got a call from some bloke called 'John' pushing a medical alert pendant, and right off the bat he wanted to know how old I was. I suggested maybe he should chat to my wife instead, since she’s probably more suited for it, but he just kept going back to his pitch without actually answering me. Then I asked if he could at least tell me *my* own name, and he said he’d check with his manager. After a bit of silence, he just thanked me and hung up. Honestly, you’d think these scammers would at least know who they're trying to catch.

Got a call from a guy named John offering a free medical alert pendant. I asked if I could just purchase one without the free trial, and he began explaining there was a trial period. I don’t actually need one, but once he admitted it was a sales pitch, I told him I’d report it to the Telephone Preference Service! He did say sorry, but really, people on TPS shouldn’t be getting these calls at all.

Sounded like either a pushy salesman or just some con artist, who knows if they’re actually honest these days? Doesn’t really matter to me though, I loathe getting calls out of the blue from strangers. The person kept jabbering on about some medical alert stuff until my missus cut him off sharp and told him, quite bluntly, to “butt out and leave us alone.”

I just got a really nice call from someone called Chris who said they’re connected with healthcare workers and that I might qualify for a Medical Alert pendant. He wanted to check if I was over 50. When I asked how they had my medical details and what exactly they knew about me, he just thanked me and ended the call.

I picked up the phone and there was this posh lad who said I might qualify for some sort of Medical Alert Watch. He started asking loads of questions but I kept telling him to say who told him about me in the first place. After a bit, he just gave up and hung up. I didn’t give him any of my personal details, no way.

Just like everyone else, I got a call about possibly qualifying for a Medical Alert Pendant. They asked a few questions about health stuff - like if I'd had any accidents or health issues recently. I said no to everything, even though most should’ve been yes. After that, the person said thanks and ended the call. Definitely looks like a scam to me. I only played along so they’d hopefully leave me alone. My phone’s blocked numbers limit is full, so I’m stuck dealing with these calls.

I didn’t pick up or get any voicemail from the call, but after reading a few other reviews mentioning medical aid stuff, it got me thinking. Funny thing is, my daughter visited a consultant at a private clinic just a few days ago. Could be nothing but still feels a bit odd.

Recently, I had to deal with a hospital and also searched some health info on the web. I never pick up calls from numbers I don't recognise. Instead, I check who they are first and then block them if needed. On my old phone, I just save unknown callers as ‘scam’ to keep track.

My partner got a call from an unknown number, and they started asking weird questions like if he uses a walking stick or if his heart's okay. Then they just cut the call. It’s a bit odd because he’s been in contact with the local hospital quite a bit lately…makes you wonder if it’s just a weird coincidence or something else! Watch out, these callers are dodgy, best to just hang up straight away.

Yesterday morning, I got a call from a bloke named John on 01208227198 who offered a personal medical alert alarm. Before I could really get a word in, he asked how old I was. I mentioned I’m on the do-not-call list, and he immediately cut the call. Sounds like a dodgy medical scam to me. Watch out!

Missed the call as I didn’t pick up the answerphone and they left no voicemail. Just got a letter today about a hearing aid appointment with my name on it, asking me to confirm. I’m thinking of sending back the confirmation using the prepaid envelope to make sure they don’t keep contacting me. I reckon the call was linked somehow, since I’ve got ongoing medical appointments with the NHS in Wales.

I told the guy he was leaving a message on my voicemail, but he just kept going on about this free medical alert bracelet thingy. He even asked if the "machine" was over 50 years old before he finally twigged no one was there and ended the call. Not dangerous or anything, but he gets around the TPS rules by trying to give stuff away instead of actually selling it. Still, pretty annoying and feels like harassment to me.

Some bloke called himself John and claimed to be from Medical Alert. He said I might qualify for a free alert pendant. When I asked for his company’s full name, he refused to tell me. He just said his manager sends him a daily list of disabled folks to ring up with this offer. Then he started asking really nosy questions, so after a few, I told him to get lost and he hung up straight away. Honestly, don’t get drawn into chatting with this kind of leech.
