Some bloke rang about a free medical pendant, kept going on for ages. When he asked if I’d had any recent falls, I said just when I’m totally hammered. He hung up right after that.

This caller was super pushy about those medical pendants, seriously wouldn’t take no for an answer. I felt like they were totally invading my space so I just ended the call. Seemed dodgy to me, could be a scam.

Pretty sure this is a con, they’re pretending to give you a free medical alert gadget that nobody asked for. I didn’t stick around to get asked for any personal details and since I’m on the telephone preference service list, I normally don’t get calls from legit companies. Seems like it’s aimed at elderly or disabled folks who might not spot the scam like I do, so it feels both risky and sneaky to me.

Just got a phone call from someone named John claiming to be from Medical Alert Monitoring around 5:55pm. He said my mum qualifies for some sort of medical alert device. After asking a few more questions, I found out he’s actually calling from their Dorset office. Took a good few minutes to get the caller’s details, but I stayed on the line until I did - seems like if you don’t hang up first, they can’t end the call themselves! Feels like one of those cold calls aimed at elderly folks, so I’m pretty convinced it’s a scam.

I got a phone call from someone claiming to be from "Medical Alert," offering me a free medical alert pendant. The voice seemed genuine, but there were awkward pauses whenever I answered, so I'm pretty sure it was an automated system reacting to what I said. My elderly mum and dad also received the same call and chatted with them longer than me. They were almost about to give their card info to cover some daily 99p monitoring charge. Thankfully, they couldn’t find their wallet at that moment, so they avoided getting scammed. Definitely sounds like a dodgy setup.

Got a call from someone named John, said he was with Medical Alert and that I might be eligible for some kind of alert watch. Then he asked if I was over 50, which felt a bit off. Told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call quick. Sounds like a typical scam to me.

I got a call from someone called “John,” but it was clearly a robo call. He was “offering” a free medical alert bracelet if you’re over 50. Seemed like they were just fishing for older folks who might be easy targets.

This mysterious number has been incessantly ringing my phone, yet not a single voicemail has graced my inbox. One would think that a genuine caller would at least show a modicum of courtesy by leaving a message. Quite frankly, it’s rather inconsiderate. I've decided to block the nuisance.

Got a call from some bloke named John offering a free medical alert pendant. He wouldn’t tell me where he’d got my number from or which company he was working for. The number showed as 01208 227318 and he sounded pretty convincing, but something felt off since he never mentioned the organisation’s name. Definitely a scam, watch out! Sounded like an English accent too. Don’t trust it!

Like with other calls I've had, he started by saying I might qualify for a medical alert system and asked if I was past 50. I told him straight up that it sounded like a total con and just hung up. I can see how elderly folks might get worried by this kind of thing.

Got a call from this number but couldn’t pick up quick enough and no voicemail was left. What’s really unsettling is that I was rushed to hospital recently in an ambulance thinking it was a heart attack, only to be told I've got cancer instead. How on earth did they get hold of my phone number? It feels like either the NHS system’s been breached or someone working there is leaking patient info to dodgy people. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Bit of a dodgy sales pitch or scam, I reckon.

Got a call from someone selling a Medical Alert Pendant, but they had no clue who I was. The caller asked for personal info, kept dodging when I asked who they needed to speak to. I kept pressing, "Who exactly are you trying to reach?" until he finally quieted down and we actually talked. He said he was new, just reading from a script, and that his manager gave him the number - but no name attached. Honestly, they had zero idea who they were ringing up.

I received a call earlier today from someone with a distinctly British accent, claiming to be from a private firm that deals with medical alert systems. Apparently, I'm entitled to receive a free alert pendant due to my medical condition and being over the age of 50. However, it was rather alarming when he didn’t even know my name. When I inquired how he managed to obtain my phone number-especially considering I'm not listed in directories and I'm on the telephone preference service-he mentioned that local agencies had referred me because of my situation. I pointed out that this seemed like a serious breach of data protection laws, and I asked him to provide details about these agencies sharing such sensitive information. After a rather brisk exchange, he wished me a quick good morning and promptly ended the call. It’s troubling to think how easily a vulnerable person could have fallen for this.

I wasnt quick enough to answer this landline call and ended up missing it. These days, I hardly ever use my landline to make or take calls because of all the scams going around - I stick to my mobile instead. But weirdly enough, I gave my doctors surgery this number just a couple of days ago so they could call me back for a triage appointment. I wanted to make sure I was reachable on a dependable phone. Reading through the comments here about this number, loads mention medical scams. Feels like more than just a coincidence, honestly!

Got a call from this number but CallGuardian blocked the ID, so no clue who it was. The whole thing smells like one of those medical alert scams, especially since both me and my mum wear medical bracelets due to health issues. Thing is, we haven’t shared our numbers with anyone, so it’s definitely suspicious.

I received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to have a list of at-risk individuals aged over 50, offering them a complimentary alarm to wear around their necks! He mentioned a medical firm located in Dorset, but when I inquired about my identity, he seemed completely clueless. It was at that moment I understood it was a scam, and I promptly ended the conversation. It baffles me how he could possibly have access to a list of vulnerable people when all he appeared to possess were phone numbers - and ours is supposed to be ex-directory!

He mentioned collaborating with nearby firms and claimed to be giving away a medical pendant at no cost. Curious, I inquired about the specific local company that had passed along my details. He meandered through his response before finally confessing that he was quite new in this role. Based on his accent, it seemed he hailed from the South of England rather than abroad.

"I’ve had a number of calls from this ‘Trevor’ character associated with something called the Local Pro, which is set to launch next month. Over the past couple of years, I’ve received this call far too often. While it initially felt fairly authentic, I started to notice a few peculiarities that led me to believe ‘Trevor’ might not be entirely human. For instance, when I once pointedly asked if he was a robot, his rather odd response was, 'No, I am not a robot'-not exactly the kind of answer you’d expect from a real person! Just the other day, during a particularly awkward silence, I replied with an ‘OK’, to which he promptly assured me, 'this is not a sales call!' Naturally, I couldn't resist firing back with ‘so you’re also not a robot, right?’ There was a brief moment of silence before the line suddenly went dead. As it turns out, my instincts were spot on; this whole affair is nothing more than a scam!"
