01226666744 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01226666744 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from a man, often identifying as “John,” offering free medical alert pendants primarily to those over 50. Callers use a polite but scripted approach, asking probing questions to assess vulnerability, then pressure recipients for financial details or personal information. Many have noted poor call quality, misleading claims of affiliation with the NHS or legitimate medical services, and hung up abruptly when challenged. The pendant itself may be “free,” but ongoing monitoring services typically involve hidden costs. Victims are warned to be cautious, avoid sharing information, and report such calls to authorities. This number is consistently linked to fraudulent activity targeting older and vulnerable individuals, so vigilance is essential.
Reports on phone number 01226666744
4 yearsI got a call on 12th April from 01226666719, stayed quiet initially. A bloke with a southern English twang came on, telling me I qualified for a medical pendant. Then he asked if I was over 50 - if he’s asking that, how on earth does he already know I’m eligible for one? That set off major alarm bells for me. I never trust calls to my landline unless the number shows up as known on my caller ID. They’ve also rang me from 01226666744 before. Definitely a scam trying to catch people out.4 yearsJust ended the call straight away.4 yearsI was told I could receive a medical alert device at no charge. However, they proceeded to query me about whether I was aged 50 or above. My probing inquiries definitely seemed to fluster him, causing him to abruptly terminate the call. He didn’t manage to pry any personal details from me. This reeks of a complete con job!4 yearsI received a similar call about a complimentary medical alert pendant. I pointed out that if they truly had my details, they wouldn't be querying whether I was over 50. Clearly, it was a cold call! When I pressed for confirmation of that, there was nothing but silence on the other end, so I ended the call myself.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke named John, who said he was ringing from some 'Medical Alert Monitoring Service' in Dorset. He was asking quite personal and detailed questions. I said no thanks firmly yet nicely, and he ended the call just as politely. Did some digging online afterwards but couldn't spot any legit company by that name. His questions seemed designed to quickly figure out how vulnerable someone is, which could easily lead them to get hit up by dodgy sellers again. Honestly, I think it’s a bit risky - the guy seemed sharp and friendly enough to pick out people for follow-up scams.JohnMedical Alert Monitoring ServiceDorset4 yearsSo this polite young bloke called me up saying I might qualify for some medical pendant thing. He asked if I was over 50, but I just stayed quiet and hung up. Afterwards, I dialled 1471 to check the number that called me.4 yearsI got a call from some bloke named 'John' claiming I could get a free medical alert pendant. He asked if I was over 50, which felt odd. When I told him he’d actually reached a morgue and asked who he was trying to contact, they just slammed the phone down on me pretty quick.John4 yearsI suspect it might be one of those scams related to the NHS. They mentioned we could qualify for a medical alert pendant and subsequently began probing for personal information.NHS4 yearsToday, just before lunch (25/03/22), I got a call from this number. A bloke with a southern English accent, sounded like it was a robot or recorded message, and the line kept cutting out. He was telling me I qualified for a free medical alert pendant. Total scam! I'd steer well clear of anyone ringing from here!4 yearsWarning! Got a call from someone named John claiming to be with the independent seniors service, offering a free medical alert. Sounded fishy to me - definitely felt like a scam! Be careful out there.John4 yearsWATCH OUT! Some bloke calling himself "John" rang me up claiming I might be eligible for a "Medical alert pendant". When I asked him where he got that wrong info, cos I don’t need one, he said he was new and his boss gave him a list of numbers to ring each day. I told him to have his manager give me a ring so I could sort out where they got my details from, but obviously he wasn't keen on that. Of course, no manager’s call has come through to me since.John4 yearsGot a call saying my grandad qualified for a free pendant, but I have no idea who they were.4 yearsI found a medical alert pendant linked to my number on the X directory. When I called them to ask about it, they just ended the call straight away.4 yearsI received a call offering me a medical alert bracelet, but when I asked them for my name, they couldn't provide it. Clearly, this is a scam!4 yearsGot a call from a guy named John saying I might qualify for a free medical alert because I’m over 50. I said I didn’t want it and wasn’t interested, then ended the call. Funny thing is my mum got the same call yesterday and when she went to use her phone after, the line stayed busy cause they hadn’t properly hung up. Took her a bit to get it sorted.John4 yearsI received a phone call from a gentleman who claimed I could get a complimentary medical alert pendant. He proceeded to ask if I was over the age of 50 and whether I required any mobility aids. I decided against sharing that information with him. I have a strong suspicion that he’s the same chap who contacted me a few weeks back, trying to sell me a free assessment for my loft to check if the insulation was due for replacement. Nonetheless, he was quite courteous throughout, wishing me a pleasant day when I turned down his offers.4 yearsComplete rip off! Its all just made up. Make sure you tell your relatives so they dont fall for it.4 yearsI got a call saying I might qualify for a free medical alert pendant (7!?). They insisted it was legit, but I wasn't convinced.4 yearsGot a call from a Barnsley number, but the bloke on the line sounded like some dodgy Essex geezer. He was going on about me maybe qualifying for a 'free' medical alert gadget. Turns out, this sneaky trick's been pulled on folks all over the country. Total scam, watch out!BarnsleyJohnEssex4 yearsI got a phone call inquiring whether I was over the age of 50 and if I'd taken any tumbles recently. The caller mentioned that I could receive a complimentary alarm pendant if I signed up for a local trial group. I politely declined, though he was quite persistent in trying to persuade me otherwise. Feeling grateful that I took the time to verify the number!4 yearsI received a call around noon today (25/03/22) from what sounded like a man with a southern English accent. It was on a rather crackly line, and he claimed I was eligible for a complimentary medical alert pendant. What a scam! I wouldn’t recommend engaging with this number or anyone ringing from it!4 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be from a medical alert company, offering a free bracelet. When I pressed them for more info, they just kept repeating the same script. Then they asked for my debit or credit card details for a 99p charge. I tried asking about the signal range or how it works, but they couldn’t give me a straight answer. In the end, I just hung up because it felt like a waste of time.4 yearsSwitched our insurance provider and ended up getting a free iPad Air, which was pretty unexpected! Plus, the new life insurance broker gave us more coverage and even some cashback. Definitely worth looking into if you're thinking about changing insurers.4 yearsThey said they were ringing me up to see if I might qualify for a free medical alert pendant or something like that (was it 7 days or 7 months?).4 yearsGot a call from this number 01226666744, some guy named Michael was saying I might qualify for a medical alert bracelet and kept asking how old I was. I cut the call off immediately, seemed like a scam to me.Michael4 yearsSome bloke called himself John and talked quite well, saying I could be eligible for a medical alert pendant. He asked if I was over 50, which seemed like a harmless question but I reckon it could’ve led to more dodgy personal info requests. I told him I wasn’t interested and didn’t need one, and he just said "Have a nice day" before we both ended the call. Seemed a bit fishy to me.John4 yearsI received a rather unsolicited call from a chap named 'John', who was eager to inform me that I was eligible for a complimentary medical alert pendant. He then had the audacity to inquire whether I was aged over 50! Naturally, I was curious about who the intended recipient of the call was, so I cheekily pointed out that he had, in fact, reached a morgue. At that point, the line went silent, and they swiftly disconnected.John4 yearsThis bloke sounded quite polite and told me I qualified for a medical pendant. But when I asked if it could call an ambulance straight away instead of waiting around for hours, he just put the phone down. Pretty sure it's a dodgy scam.4 yearsI received a call from this number and the connection was dreadful, likely a VOIP line. The caller claimed to represent a Pendant Monitoring service, but it was clearly just a scammer attempting to fish for my personal details. Their only objective was to siphon money from my bank account! It’s high time Ofcom stepped in and put an end to these fraudulent calls. Do steer clear of them!Ofcom4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be the medical association offering a free medical alert pendant. Felt off, so I reported it to the TPS. Be careful, folks!4 yearsI let it ring out and then it went to voicemail but no one bothered to say anything.4 yearsGot a call telling me I could get a free crisis necklace if I just answered some questions. I hung up straight away - sounded like just another scripted fishing scam to me.4 yearsHeads up! Got a call from some bloke saying he was with a company over in Dorset.

In the end, I just hung up.Dorset4 yearsGot a call from this number earlier about some free medical alert pendant thing. They asked if I’m over 50, which I am, but I cut them off pretty quick. Told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.4 yearsSCAM ALERT. Received a call from 01226 666744 claiming I qualified for a “free medical alert pendant.” This is definitely a trick to get info on elderly or vulnerable folks. They might claim the pendant is free but the monitoring service will cost you. When I called back, it just played a recorded message for some marketing firm that doesn’t even seem real. Completely bogus. Make sure your relatives know not to fall for this!BEWARE4 yearsGot a call from this number just before lunch today (25/03/22). The bloke on the other end sounded southern English, but his voice was a bit glitchy like it was a recording or dropping out. He kept telling me I qualified for a free medical alert pendant. Total scam, don’t trust these calls if you get them from this number!4 yearsI got a call from a guy with a strong southern drawl. He asked if I was over 50 and said something about qualifying for a medical alert necklace. I told him I didn’t need anything like that since I live with my husband. Then he just ended the call.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an English accent ringing my old neighbour, offering one of those care call pendants. He said the first month was free but then it’d cost 99p a day - works out at about £30 a month! She said she might want one, so he asked how she'd sort the payment. She said by Direct Debit, but when he pressed for her bank details right away, she told him she didn’t have them to hand. He said he’d hang about on the line till she found them! Bit of a giveaway it was dodgy if you ask me.Direct Debit4 yearsI received a call from someone claiming we qualify for a Medi Alert service from the NHS. It’s definitely a con!Submit Your Own Report (01226 666744)
