01208227253 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01208227253 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting mainly older adults with unsolicited calls about free medical alert devices. Callers, often using the name "John," employ automated or recorded messages to suggest eligibility for health-related aids, then seek personal details or payments. Many recipients experience silent calls, immediate hang-ups upon answering, or untraceable number spoofing. Despite polite and seemingly professional approaches, no genuine service is offered, and no messages are left on answer machines. Users strongly advise against engaging, blocking the number, and reporting attempts to Action Fraud as part of a broader issue involving scams and spoofing using UK phone numbers. Vigilance is recommended, especially for vulnerable individuals, and MPs should be contacted to urge stronger telecom protections.

Some bloke named John rang saying it was a medical alert, but I just hung up straight away. Call came in around 17:23.

Got a call that seemed like one of those dodgy medical scams, so I just ended up hanging up on them.

Random numbers keep calling and never say who they are, yet somehow the phone saves their digits. Seems like theres loads of scams going about and fake numbers too. Best thing is to not answer because they even know where you live. We had people pretending to be from energy and insulation companies knocking on our door. I blocked their numbers straight away. Feels like theres a massive gang behind all these scams. Really hoping Action Fraud get onto it and catch them all soon.

Some bloke named John rang me saying he was with Medical Alert. He told me he got my details off a list and that I might be entitled to a FREE gadget. He rang my work number at home, and when I asked who gave him my number, he just dodged the question, saying he needed some info because the device was free. I kept pressing, asking where he got my contact from. There were weird pauses like he was either a machine or googling how to answer me. After a bit he just said alright then, have a good one! and hung up.

I just got a voicemail from “John” at 01208227253 saying something about medical alerts I might qualify for. It was one of those recorded messages, completely out of the blue. What a load of nonsense!

Just like a lot of folks here, I got one of those silent calls. No clue what they’re trying to achieve, but if you manage to get them talking, hang on and don’t let them hang up - that way they can’t bother other people who might be an easier target.

Got a call from some medical scam, it was one of those automated messages but sounded like a real person. They kept going on about "Since you're over 65, you qualify for a medical alert bracelet that'll mean you won't have to go into a care home." Come on, I’m only 27, what a load of rubbish!

When you receive a call from this number, they seem to gauge your age based on your voice first. If you sound a bit younger, they don't hesitate to end the call abruptly. However, if you're on the older side, they'll launch into their spiel about being referred for assistance with Medical Alerts or some such thing. Quite the clever tactic, really!

Definitely a scam. They claimed to be calling from some Medical Alert Centre, saying my details were given to them because I’m old and might need one of those medical alert pendants. When I asked for more info, the guy just said maybe I’ve got some health problems. He sounded really polite and spoke quite nicely though.

Absolutely a dodgy call. A very articulate gentleman rang me, claiming to be from the Medical Alert Centre, insisting that my name had been shared as a potential candidate for a medical alert pendant, given my age. When I probed a bit deeper, he suggested it could be linked to a medical condition I might have. The moment I hinted at my scepticism, he graciously wrapped up the conversation and disconnected. I’ve since discovered that this is a common con where they’re fishing for bank details to swindle you.

Got a call from 0208 227253 with someone named "John" saying he was returning my call about domestic appliance insurance. Thing is, I never rang them and I don't have any appliances insured with that company. Seems like a dodgy scam, so watch out, folks!

Totally a scammer! They ring just to see if anyone answers, then they drop the call without saying anything. Just a quiet caller trying to check for active numbers.

When I picked up the phone, the caller said nothing at all. I'm baffled as to what the intention behind the call was. What could possibly be the reason for their silence? Plus, why had they attempted to ring me nine times before this? It all seems rather puzzling.
