5 monthsGot a ring from this number earlier and straight away it felt off. They wanted £595 just to put an advert on the back of GP appointment cards, which seemed completely mad to me. I told them we weren’t up for it. After I looked up the number, turns out it might be a scam. Glad I didn’t waste any more time!6 monthsGot a call from a bloke named Andrew who said he was ringing from the GP surgery nearby. The code he gave me didn’t match the one we know, so I rang the surgery myself just to check. Turns out, they had no idea what he was on about. Sounds like another dodgy ad scam trying to make a comeback.Andrew10 monthsSomeone rang up asking for details about a doctor, seemed a bit dodgy to me.1 yearI didn’t pick up the call, but the voicemail said they wanted info about chiropodists near here to help patients at a nearby GP practice. The number showed as from Chorley on my phone, which is miles away from Poole where I live! After seeing what others have said, I’m thinking this might be a dodgy scam.ChorleyPoole1 yearThe ads are way too expensive, honestly. It's crazy how much they're charging just to get a spot out there. Wouldn't recommend if you're on a tight budget.1 yearI got a call from some English lady, she kept asking for the home manager by their first name and mentioned something like 'Dr whoever' wanting a chat. Pretty clear scam to me. It was from a 125 number too, which made me suspicious right from the start.So1 yearOur care home has been getting calls from this number quite a few times. They keep mentioning someone called "Dr Raj." Whenever our team tries to ask questions or get more details, the callers turn quite pushy and rude, insisting on speaking straight to the manager only.DrRaj2 yearsI got a ring from this number about putting adverts on patient appointment cards. I was a bit suspicious ‘cause I’d read loads about scams like this, so I decided to call the surgery directly. I spoke to the practice manager there, and she told me it was all above board - she’d actually just ordered more appointment cards herself. She also mentioned they use these cards a lot and reorder regularly, which made me feel a lot better. In the end, I went ahead and advertised with them and honestly, the whole experience was pretty good.2 yearsKept ringing me up saying they were promoting stuff for a nearby doctor’s office. They wanted me to pay a fortune just to get a small advert in their leaflet. They kept pushing hard, saying they picked me because of my business's good name. Then they said there was just one spot left so I had to hurry. I've blocked the number now.2 yearsThey kinda made it sound like they were working with my GP practice. They said they're putting together a leaflet about local services for patients and asked if I’d like to promote my therapeutic counselling in it. Felt a bit dodgy since I’ve seen this sort of thing before. I checked with the surgery and they said they have nothing to do with it.Submit Your Own Report (01257 446802)
