01226666744 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01226666744 πŸ‘† is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from a man, often identifying as β€œJohn,” 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 β€œfree,” 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.

Had a rather peculiar call on 12th April from the number 01226666719. When I picked up, I didn’t utter a word, and an individual with a distinct southern English drawl replied, claiming I was eligible for some sort of medical pendant. He then inquired if I was over the age of fifty. I mean, if he needs my confirmation on that, how can he presume I qualify for anything? My instincts went into overdrive-definitely not trusting anyone who rings my landline, unless the caller ID provides reassurance. Curiously, this number seems connected to another one-01226666744, which I suspect is part of the same dodgy operation. Be warned; it's clearly a scam!

I 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!

I 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.

Got 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.

So 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Today, 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!

WATCH 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.

Got 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.

I 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.

Got 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!

I 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!

I 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!

Got 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.

Switched 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.

Some 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.

I 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.

This 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.

I 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!

CAUTION. A gentleman rang me, allegedly representing a firm based in Dorset, stating that I might qualify for some sort of medical benefit. He offered to verify my eligibility but was rather evasive when I inquired thrice whether he was affiliated with the NHS. A clear answer never came, so I promptly ended the call.

I’ve just had a call from this number about a complimentary medical alert pendant. The caller inquired if I was over the age of 50, which I am, but I didn’t allow him to proceed any further. I simply informed him that I had no need for such a thing. It feels like a bit of a con to me.

BEWARE! I received a call from 01226 666744 claiming I was “qualified for a complimentary medical pendant.” This is clearly a fraudulent scheme aimed at harvesting details from vulnerable and senior individuals. While the pendant (if it’s real at all) might be offered at no cost, any associated monitoring services will definitely incur charges. If you try to call back, you’ll just get a pre-recorded message that leads nowhere. It’s an utter hoax! Please make sure to alert your family and friends to steer clear of this nonsense.

I received a call around noon today (25/03/22) from a chap with a distinctly southern English accent. His voice, which sounded as if it had been pre-recorded and was rather choppy, claimed that I qualified for a complimentary medical alert pendant. Quite evidently a scam! I'd advise steering clear of any communications from this number!

I had a chap with a distinct southern drawl ring me up, suggesting I might qualify for a medical alert pendant. He inquired if I was over the age of fifty. I responded that I had no use for such a thing, as I live with my husband. Strangely, he disconnected rather abruptly.

A gentleman with a British accent rang my elderly neighbour, pitching a pendant service for care calls. He mentioned that the first month would be complimentary, but thereafter it would cost 99p a day, which adds up to £30 each month! Intrigued, she expressed a bit of interest, and he inquired how she'd prefer to settle the payments. When she mentioned Direct Debit, he promptly asked for her bank details right away. Naturally, she didn't have that information available at the moment, to which he insisted he would stay on the line until she found them. This whole scenario seems highly suspicious and likely a scam.

I received a call from someone claiming we qualify for a Medi Alert service from the NHS. It’s definitely a con!
