Got a call from someone pretending to be from a medical service. They wanted my age to check if I qualified for some sort of life-line help. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

I just end up blocking those annoying scammers and pretend they don’t exist. Seriously, they should just piss off.

Got a call from someone saying we were qualified for a medic alert, which was the weird part. They wanted info to back up their claim but it just felt off. Definitely a scam trying to con us out of cash. Honestly, felt like talking to some dodgy people. Watch out for calls like this!

Somebody rang claiming to be from medical alert, saying they wanted to sell me a pendant since I’m over 50 and apparently live on my own. I asked how they found my number and how they knew I lived alone. The bloke then said he was new and promised his manager would call me back in about 10 minutes. Felt proper dodgy to me.

Received a call at 14:54 from the number 01226666888. However, when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. Quite peculiar, I must say!

This number just rang me up and I kept pressing them on where they’d got my details from. The bloke said he was new and mentioned his manager would ring me back to sort those questions. Honestly, he seemed desperate to get off the phone when I kept asking.

Got a call from some stranger trying to give me a free medical alert pendant or something. They then wanted to know how old I am, but as soon as I asked what for, they just cut me off. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from a bloke with a British accent saying something about the NHS. He was telling me I might qualify for a medical alert bracelet if I’m over 50, but as soon as I heard that, I just hung up. Never come across a scam like that before!

I was led to believe I qualified for a Medical Alert Pendant and was inquired whether I was above the age of 50. When I questioned the reason behind the cold call, the conversation abruptly came to a halt.

Just like a few others have said, I got a call about some medical alert bracelet. I asked where they’d found my phone number, and the guy said he worked with community organisations and that’s how they got it. I pushed him, asking which part of the NHS had shared my personal medical info because I was ready to report them to the Information Commissioner’s Office. After a bit of back and forth, he said it was his manager who gave him the list, then promptly hung up on me. Proper nasty trick that could catch someone who’s not expecting it. Utterly shocking behaviour from these scammers.

This afternoon at precisely 4.03pm, I received a rather suspicious call from a bloke named John. He claimed I might qualify for a complimentary medical alert device due to my age, which struck me as a curious angle. When I pressed him for his phone number before proceeding, he quickly replied, “Oh, you won't be able to ring back on this number.” After a moment's pause, he mentioned he would grant me a fortnight to consider it and arrange for someone to contact me. I firmly stated, “Not without your number, I suspect this is a ruse.” He then retorted with a rather dismissive, “Well, have a lovely day then.” I currently possess a Medic Alert device, so I've reached out to them - the genuine company. It’s worth noting that this call reached my unlisted number. Quite obviously, it's a scam!

I received a call from someone claiming to be part of Virgin Media's technical support team, a foreign lady no less. She insisted that I link up my computer or iPhone so she could guide me through some steps to improve my internet speed. It became clear she wanted to access my device remotely to perform what she termed an upgrade. I’m absolutely convinced it’s a scam! I told her I preferred to speak with a real Virgin Media engineer in person, and the moment I mentioned that, she hung up in a hurry. Just another dodgy call to add to the collection, I reckon!

My landline rang recently from this number and the person on the other end asked if I was over 55 and might qualify for a call pendant. I told the young bloke I was over 55 but not disabled. He quickly tried to end the call then, but I stopped him and asked if he had our name in his records. He said no, so I challenged how he knew who we were and how we could trust who he was. He hung up sharpish after that. Feels like a dodgy call because many of us have those red pull cords at home, and he never once used my name, which makes me think he was trying to trick someone else.

Some bloke called, said he was with some medical service and that I could get a free lifeline or something. When I asked him straight up who he was and which organisation he was from, he just went quiet. Pretty sure these muppets are just trying to con old people and anyone not paying attention. Absolute scumbags if you ask me.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be with a medical alert service, touting a complimentary device. However, the conversation veered off as he began probing into my personal details. He then rambled on about something called a GP yellow alert, saying it’s crucial for those who have fallen to get help within the first hour. I pressed him again, wondering if he was trying to peddle something to me, and just like that, he thanked me and abruptly ended the call!

Received a call earlier today promoting a complimentary safety pendant, probing me with inquiries regarding my age, health status, falls and the like. They claimed to be located in Dorset. I requested they call back at a later time as I wanted to verify their number. Turns out, they're apparently situated quite a distance away, in Barnsley, Yorkshire. I can’t shake the feeling this is probably some kind of dodgy scheme.
