8 monthsI rang my mum to chat about getting her personal alarm upgraded. She got the number and wanted me to see if it was legit. A guy with an Asian accent began telling me there was a free upgrade for her alarm, even though hers already had all the features he said the upgrade would add. Then he mentioned “loads of people near you,” so I said I was calling on my mobile and hadn’t said where I was. After that, he just cut the call!8 monthsAvoid this pesky scam call. The person says they're with Medicaid and tries to sell SOS alarms but keeps switching the age rules - first it's for folks over 60, then next time it’s for over 50. They’re really trying to trick older, more vulnerable people. Just hang up and don’t bother.MedicaidSOS8 monthsGot a call two days running from someone pushing a medical alert gadget for anyone over 50. They tried to use my name or something close to it. When I told them I wasn’t who they were after, they said it didn’t matter as long as I was over 50. They asked for my date of birth, so I gave them 31st September 2005. They hung up straight away. I reckon calls like this could be really risky for folks who might be more vulnerable.8 monthsMy BT Call Guardian picked up the call. When the caller was asked to say who they were, there was no reply. It also blocks any calls that begin with a recorded or automated voice.BT Call Guardian8 monthsGot a call from an unfamiliar number.
