Got a call from 012266666840 about some kind of medical alert, sounded dodgy to me. Wouldn't recommend getting mixed up with it, seems like a scam for sure. Stay clear!

I received a phone call from someone introducing themselves as John, claiming to represent a medical alert facility. He mentioned something about complimentary alert pendants, but then proceeded to ask me to complete a questionnaire to qualify for this 'free' pendant. I couldn't shake the feeling that he was really after my personal medical details! There was definitely something off about the whole conversation-very dodgy indeed!

I’ve got this feature on my phone that says who’s calling before I answer, and when this number popped up, the caller just hung up without saying a word. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.

Don’t pick up if a medical alert number pops up, it’s definitely a scam. Keep your details to yourself and hang up straight away.

Seems like just another one-off fake call. They rang us yesterday but we didn’t pick up, and as soon as the answer phone kicked in, they hung up. Judging by other people’s experiences, it’s clear this is a scam targeting older folks who still use landlines, probably trying to swindle them out of their cash.

Got a call from a guy with an English accent trying to sell me a 'free' medical alert bracelet. I was instantly wary. He kept asking if I was over 50 and if I needed a cane or walker. When I asked what company he was with, he just ignored me and carried on talking. Felt like it could've been some sort of robocall? The number was 01226666728. I've blocked it now and reported it to the Telephone Preference Service, even though I'm already signed up with them. Watch out for calls like this, folks!

I received a phone call from a chap trying to peddle a complimentary medical alert bracelet. Honestly, I have no use for one. I hung up on him rather quickly. It all seems rather fishy to me. If they’re giving it away for nothing, there must be a catch, right? What’s their angle?

I've definitely flagged this as spam since the caller didn't bother to leave a voicemail!

Just got a call from "John" claiming to be from a medical alert centre, but the number was from Barnsley which seemed odd. When I asked where he got my details from, the message just restarted with the same intro, like on repeat. It seemed like a live person at first, but it was definitely a recorded message. They asked for my age to see if I qualified for a free alert system, then ended with a polite thanks and "have a nice day" - sounded way too scripted. Pretty sure it's some sneaky scam.

I just dont get why people pick up their phone if the number is unknown on caller ID. I always have caller ID too, and my rule is simple: if I don't know who’s calling, I just let it ring. Most of the time they just call off when it goes to voicemail anyway.

I got a phone call at 4:12pm from someone claiming to be from a medical centre. They started to say something about me being on a list, but before they could finish, the call just dropped - I didn’t hang up. Since I’m registered with a few medical services, I thought it might be legit at first. However, after checking out some online reviews, I’m honestly feeling a bit confused and sceptical about it now.

He reckoned it was about some medical alert and said he was calling from Dorset! I asked him who he was, but all he did was keep replying with "John." When I wanted to know how he got my number, he just said "associated sources" or something like that. I kept throwing questions at him but after a while, I lost interest and ended the call.

Got a call from a medical alert service. When I asked, the guy said he wasn’t a robot, but his message kept repeating bits and there were weird pauses between what he asked and when I replied. Definitely wouldn’t trust it. No idea where they dug up my number from.

Had a bloke called John ringing from some 'medical alert centre' or whatever. When i asked where he got my number, he mumbled something like “from your local medical body,” which sounded a bit dodgy. I figured, why not keep him on the line as long as possible to waste their time? I managed to string him along for almost 6 minutes. In the end, i asked if he knew about the telephone preference service, and he promptly hung up. Proper scammers, they are!

I got a call from a bloke named John, claiming to be from some company but he mumbled so much I couldn’t catch which one. He was pushing a free medical alert bracelet deal, but I was a bit wary straight off. He asked if I was over 50, and I told him I was. Then he wanted to know if I had any health issues or needed a walking aid, I said no to both. As soon as I mentioned I wasn’t interested in the bracelet, he just said alright and hung up. Later, I looked it up and reckon he would've tried fishing for my personal info to commit identity fraud.

This was defo a dodgy call, really annoying. My phone barely buzzed before I hung up, barely gave them any chance. They wouldn’t say how they got hold of my unlisted number, sounded like they had a French accent too. Reporting it to the ICO is pointless, they only seem interested if *you* break the GDPR rules. I reckon it’s best to ring them back and keep them talking, stall ’em as long as you can so they bother someone else less.

Seems like a scam call, really annoying. My phone barely rings, hangs up right after 2 rings. They refuse to say how they found my unlisted number. Sounded like they had a French accent too. No use contacting the ICO, they only seem to act if you break GDPR, not when you get dodgy calls. I just call them back and keep them talking, argue a bit. That way they’ve got less time to bother others.

I was approached with an offer for a free medic alert bracelet, or so they claimed. It seemed a bit too good to be true! Clearly, there's a hidden agenda, likely involving a monthly fee for monitoring services. I decided it wasn’t worth sticking around to uncover the details!

I received a phone call from a bloke claiming to be John, who was touting a "complimentary medical alert bracelet." He inquired whether I was over fifty and if I had any disabilities. However, as soon as I mentioned that I wasn't interested in the bracelet, he abruptly hung up on me. Quite the nuisance, really!
