I got a call from some bloke called John, claiming to be from a Medical Alert firm. He was questioning my 93-year-old mum about her health stuff. The moment I jumped on the phone, he just said “have a nice day” and hung up on us, no fuss.

This caller kept asking me loads of questions about my health, and I just kept saying 'maybe' to try and get him off the line. When I asked how he had my number, he claimed it came from some sort of home improvement list or database, which I have no idea about. I wasn’t convinced at all, so I told him I suspected it was a scam and ended the call straight away.

So this guy Alan rings me up about some free medical alert bracelets. I asked him about who he works for and if I could call him back later, but as soon as I did, he just hung up on me. He sounded quite posh and pretty young, so I reckon anyone not careful might get tricked by him. Watch out, if he manages to grab your info, you’re in for some trouble.

I received a call regarding a medical alert pendant, which piqued my interest about my eligibility for such a thing. However, the chap on the other end didn’t seem keen to answer my queries, particularly how he had come across my number from the ex-directory list. He quickly apologised and then promptly ended the call. It's quite evident this was a nuisance call or perhaps a scam of some sort.

I thought it was a splendid notion at first. It certainly had the potential to be quite useful. I was seriously considering it until I inquired about the payment process. When I didn’t receive a response, I decided to end the call.

Somebody rang up saying they were from a firm selling a medical alert gadget. When I asked how they’d got my number and if the device came with any charges, they kept dodging my questions. I was basically just trying to figure out if it was a scam or not. After a while, I reckon someone noticed I was being suspicious and trying to check them out properly, then they just ended the call on me!

Some bloke called John, said he was from Medical Alert or something. Asked if I was over 50 and all that. I just told him I’ll sort it myself when the time comes and hung up. Feels like a dodgy scam to me. I’m ex-directory too, like someone else mentioned. The number he rang from was 01226 666778.

Some bloke named “John” rang me up asking if I was over 50, if I’d had any heart issues, or if I’d taken a tumble in the last couple of years. He claimed he was calling from Dorset. I told him I hadn’t requested the call and wasn’t interested, then hung up. Later, I checked the number and saw loads of similar warnings. Total scam! Honestly, who in their right mind would exploit folks like that? Ridiculous!

Got a call from someone named John claiming to be with a Medical Alert Company, asking if I qualified for a medical alert pendant. He then goes on to ask if I'm over 50. I just told him it was none of his concern and hung up. Seriously, how fast could they even get to me if there was an emergency? Like halfway across the country from Barnsley to East Ayrshire, haha. If I ever needed one of those, I’d just check with my local council, not some random cold call.

Got a call from someone calling themselves John, claiming to be with Medical Alert, saying I might qualify for one of their alert pendants. I said I wasn’t interested. Then he asked if I was over 50, and without thinking I said yes, but quickly told him no thanks and hung up. Sounds dodgy to me. I’ve blocked the number now.

Someone called me up saying I had to get a medical alarm, which sounded a bit dodgy to me. I wasn’t expecting that sort of call at all! They really pushed it like it was urgent. Felt like a classic sales pitch trying to scare me into buying something. Totally fishy, if you ask me.

Got a call claiming to be from some "Medical Alert Service", saying I could get a free medical alert bracelet. They asked if I was over 50, and when I said no, they just ended the call straight away with a quick 'Alright, thanks anyway'. Definitely felt like some dodgy scam. What annoys me is it came from an unlisted number, so how on Earth did they get hold of it?

I just told him I didn’t need one, thanks anyway.

Like always, the call came across as pretty legit, but I’m sure it’s just a scam. We’re signed up with the telephone preference service, so I find it hard to believe any real company would just brush that off.

Got a call about some medical alert thing, instantly felt fishy because I’d recently got an email from the genuine company warning about scams like this. They asked if I was over 50, which seemed odd since the real company already has my info. Plus, the number they called from wasn’t the same as the official one you can easily find by googling.

I received a call claiming I qualified for a complimentary medical alert service.
