01296256888 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01296256888 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving unsolicited calls, primarily from a caller named "Sam" claiming to be a local healthcare worker. The calls typically offer medical alert pendants or similar devices, falsely suggesting recipients have serious health conditions. Many report aggressive sales tactics, refusal to provide company details, and disregard for Telephone Preference Service registration. Others note silent calls, recorded messages, and phishing attempts for personal information. Similar calls falsely promoting free solar panels or home improvements have also been reported, often linked to scams. Callers frequently fail to identify themselves properly, hang up abruptly when challenged, and target vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly, under the guise of official health or home service providers. Blocking and reporting the number is strongly recommended.
Reports on phone number 01296256888
2 yearsNot sure about solar panels or anything, but some bloke just rang me up saying my driveway needed resurfacing. Bit odd, innit?2 yearsSomebody rang saying I could get free solar panels, which is total rubbish, as I made clear to them.2 yearsNo one picked up when I called back, and I’ve no idea who from Aylesbury this could be.Aylesbury2 yearsGot a call from a bloke called "Dave" who reckoned our windows and doors must be about 10 years old. When I grilled him about how he got our phone number, he said it was from some kind of database. Trouble is, we’re ex-directory and are signed up with the Telephone Preference Service.DaveTelephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from a woman named Jane with a thick Scottish accent. It sounded like a pre-recorded message but was meant to come off as if someone was speaking live. She was talking about how I was eligible for solar panels or something. I just ended the call and added the number to my block list.Jane2 yearsDidn’t pick up, number was unknown.2 yearsAt about 5.30pm on the 7th of August, I got a call from a woman with a really posh accent who said her name was Jane. She was going on about how I could get half price off solar panels. She was quite insistent, so I just ended the call.Jane2 yearsWent to pick up at 17:45 but missed the call, no voicemail left behind. Feels like it could be a scam.2 yearsSam rang me claiming to be “your nearby healthcare assistant.” They told me I had some urgent health issues and that I was without a medical alert device. I tried to tell them I didn’t, but they kept on going. Eventually, I just ended the call.2 yearsThey said they were a local care worker but I don’t even live close to Aylesbury. Definitely not local! I’ve just blocked the number and reported it.Aylesbury2 yearsGot a call around 4:30pm today. I didn’t pick up, just let it go to voicemail.2 yearsGot a recording for a medical alert system. Looks like my landline’s days are numbered.2 yearsThe number was unfamiliar so I didn’t answer. When I checked the voicemail later, all that was on there was a quick, strange sound - maybe just “OK” or something similar.2 yearsSome bloke called himself Sam and claimed to be a local health care worker. I asked what the call was about and he just answered with "ok I get it, you don’t want to chat." It’s quite worrying cos if someone who actually needs medical help heard him, they might easily believe he’s the real deal. His English was pretty clear and he sounded legit. I had a feeling it was a scam though, so I just ended the call.Sam2 yearsGot a message that seemed like an actual voice call but it was all pre-recorded. You couldn’t respond or anything, it just kept going on like a monologue.2 yearsGot a voicemail saying "I’m a health worker nearby, just checking you’re alright today". Bit odd cos I’m in Leeds but the call came all the way from Aylesbury! Sounds like a dodgy medical scam if you ask me. Definitely something fishy going on.LeedsAylesbury2 yearsJust got a phone call from a bloke claiming his name was Sam. No matter what I told him, he just kept pushing his scam nonsense. In the end, I had enough and told Sam straight up - goodbye!Sam2 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Sam claiming to be in healthcare. He went on about me having some health problems I supposedly don’t take meds for. I just laughed and hung up while he was still trying to sell his scam. When I rang back, he’d already vanished. Really bad news for people who might be more trusting.Sam2 yearsSo, got a call from this Sam claiming to be a local health worker. Apparently, they've got me down as a person over 70 who might need one of those medical alarms or something?! Bit odd since I’m nowhere near that age.Sam2 yearsGot a call around 4:25pm from someone who said his name was Sam. He claimed he was nearby and needed medical help but hadn’t received any yet. I told him I’m on the TPS list and my number’s unlisted. He carried on with his usual spiel anyway. When I said I’d report him, he just kept pushing his sales pitch harder.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsThe phone rings but no one picks up.2 yearsGot a call about some medical alert button scam. They were pushing this gadget thing like I needed it right away. Definitely felt dodgy and like a scam to me. Watch out for those calls!2 yearsDefinitely sounded like one of those dodgy calls claiming I’ve got a health issue or something, trying to sell a free pendant alarm. I just said we already have one and don’t entertain cold calls. I'm worried some elderly folks might easily get caught out by this kind of thing.2 yearsSomebody named Sam rang me saying he worked in healthcare around here. He was offering a medical alert device or something. I wouldn’t trust this number though, seems dodgy, probably a scam.Sam2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a local health service, saying I had a serious medical issue and urgently needed a pendant for alerts. They used phrases that sound worrying, like “if you fall you won’t want to be without a lifeline” and “people might not realise you’re in a bad way.” I told them I wasn’t interested and didn’t need any of that, and they just ended the call.2 yearsReceived a phone call from this number yesterday morning. When I picked up the receiver, there was a strange silence on the line until a courteous gentleman finally spoke. The only word I managed to catch was "medics," but shortly after that, the line fell silent once more. I couldn’t glean any further details, so I hung up, suspecting it might be a scam call.2 yearsGot a call from someone ignoring the TPS who was pushing some overpriced call button setup. Total scam if you ask me.2 yearsGot a call from Sam who said that someone at my place might qualify for a medical alarm pendant. He refused to explain where he found my number or why he thought anyone here needed one. Seems like a total scam to me.Sam2 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was my neighbourhood health care advisor and claimed his files said I had a major health issue. He then tried to push an alarm pendant on me. I kept telling him there’s nothing wrong with me but he just carried on jabbering, so I ended the call.2 yearsJust like a few others here, I got a ring from someone calling themselves “Sam”, supposedly a health expert. Turns out, Sam was just a lame AI bot pretending to be human. I decided to throw some weird questions at it, just to see what would happen and to kill time. I’m still unclear whether there’s actually a product like an alert pendant behind this, or if Sam’s just trying to grab personal details - kept asking me stuff like “Could you please confirm your name?” and “What’s your postcode?” Honestly, all I did was rack up their phone charges while having a bit of fun!Sam2 yearsRight, I decided to ring back. The caller ID showed it was from 'lifeline alarms'. They said if I pressed '1', it would stop their calls, but I didn’t bother with that. Still, I haven’t managed to find any website for them. Has anyone else come across one?2 yearsGot a call on Monday, but no one said anything. I could hear what sounded like a busy office in the background, maybe a call centre. Decided to block that number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam claiming to be a local health worker. This happened on Monday after I signed up for the Oviva diabetes prevention scheme on Sunday. Honestly, I might ditch the programme if it turns out they’re sharing my info without permission.Sam2 yearsI got calls from this number like 4 times yesterday. Luckily, I blocked it, but there’s times when you just wish you could confront these desperate, cold-hearted creeps, right?2 yearsGot a call from 01295 256888, but it wasn’t a number I know and there was no voicemail left either.2 yearsGot a call about some “health alert bracelet” thing, but honestly, I’m perfectly fine. Sounds like a dodgy sales pitch to me!2 yearsKept jabbering on about a free alarm for emergencies or something, I just cut the call short and blocked the number right after.2 yearsIt felt like a scam call about a medical alarm. The guy kept hesitating and saying "um" loads, sounded really unprofessional and unsure of what to say next.2 yearsGot a call from 01296256888, no idea who they were. Screened the call and they wouldn’t say their name or leave any message. Feels dodgy to me, probably some scam attempt. Didn’t have them saved so I’m marking it as blocked now. Watch out if you get a ring from this number!2 yearsI don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, so I always let them ring through to voicemail. When this one just hung up, I figured it was probably some sort of scam or sales pitch. Even though I’ve been signed up to the TPS for years, these callers just act like it means nothing. I’m going to block the number now, but since they got some kind of response, they’ll probably keep trying. There really ought to be tougher penalties for those who keep bothering people in their own homes.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a random call about some medical alert gadget they wanted me to accept. The bloke on the phone totally ignored what I was saying and dodged my questions about the business and the Telephone Preference Service. Instead, he kept cutting me off and was dead keen on sending a trial device. I felt it was quite dodgy, especially as it seemed like a pushy sales tactic that might pressure someone more vulnerable into agreeing. I've blocked the number now.2 yearsGot a call on my landline at about 8:24, and hardly anyone knows that number. Calls this early always freak me out thinking it’s something serious. Really annoying, honestly.2 yearsGot a call from this number today but nobody picked up, just loads of background noise like a busy call centre.2 yearsThis number isn’t in our list of trusted callers, so I just blocked it.2 yearsEven though we put our number on the TPS list, they kept ringing us anyway... absolutely annoying!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsI got a call out of the blue from some bloke called Dave claiming to be from a company that does windows and doors. Told him straight away I wasn’t interested and hung up. Reading other comments, it sounds like it might be a dodgy scam.Dave2 yearsGot a call from No.01296256888 on my landline around 16:57. Did a quick TPS check and found it was flagged. Turns out it’s a medical scam, so I reported and blocked the number straight away.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsJust got a call on Tuesday 9/07/2024 from someone named Sam claiming to be from the Local Health Team. They said I qualified for a wrist pendant due to my health situation and it would cost me £1.30 each day. I decided to end the call straight away.SamLocal Health Team2 yearsGot a call from Sam, who said he was my health rep, but I reckon he was just some cold caller. He was trying to push medical alert bracelets on me. He claimed his info showed I didn’t have one already, which was rubbish because I do! His records were totally off.2 yearsThere's this guy, Sam, who goes around as the health rep here. Honestly, I'll believe it when pigs start flying through my window! Such a pest, honestly.Sam2 yearsThis bloke rang up, said he was checking on people’s wellbeing around here and had some kind of official role. But when I asked for his name or who he was exactly, he suddenly went silent and I ended the call.2 yearsI’ve gotten like six calls now from different numbers, all of them just quiet and then they hang up. Can someone please do something about these annoying calls?2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today but didn't pick up. I rang back a little while ago and got this automated message saying it was from LIFELINE ALARMS. Seems like one of those cold calls, which should be illegal. I've seen a few reports that might be linked to it too.ALARMS2 yearsBT call guardian picked up the call, and I didn’t even get a message. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.BT2 yearsReceived a call from 01296 625888, and it had a distinct English accent. The person on the other end asked, "Can you hear me?" Immediately, I picked up on this as a potential scam, aiming to get me to say "yes." Instead, I replied with a simple "Hallo." Strangely enough, the call ended abruptly. I strongly advise against responding affirmatively, as that seems to be exactly what they’re after. I suspect this is part of a scam that’s been quite prevalent in the US for a while now.US2 yearsPicked up the phone but as soon I said hello, they just ended the call.2 yearsThey didn’t leave any message.2 yearsHad a call from someone named Sam, but I couldn’t tell if he was legit because he just kept going on without letting me get a word in. Pretty sure it was one of those medical alert scams.Sam2 yearsSuch a cheeky bloke! I kept telling him I wasn’t interested but he wouldn’t listen, kept cutting me off and insisted he’d be sending the alarm over anyhow. Honestly, it left me feeling proper annoyed. I probably should’ve just ended the call straight away, but lesson learnt for next time - you can’t really argue with these sorts.Lesson2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t know, so I just ignored it and decided to check it out online. Looks like some scammer has gotten hold of NHS info and is trying to ring people over 70 with medical issues. I’ve blocked the number now.2 yearsThey're trying to peddle a free medical alert pendant, but it’s pretty obvious it's a con.2 yearsMy phone showed the number as a possible scam, so I decided not to pick up and just blocked it instead.2 yearsI live in central Scotland and got a call from someone saying they were from my "local health board," saying I needed to sign up for some medical alerts. It was obvious it was a scam since the person couldn’t answer any of my questions and just kept going over the same spiel. I’ve got some serious health issues, so it really upset me that they’d try and take advantage like that.Central Scotland2 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from a local health authority regarding medical notifications. However, they couldn't specify which health authority they represented and struggled to respond to even the simplest of inquiries. Quite suspicious if you ask me!2 yearsHow come BT hasn’t removed this yet?BT2 yearsGot three calls from this number earlier, but no voicemail left or nothing. I usually just ignore calls from numbers I don't know, so didn’t pick up.2 yearsPhone just hung up on me.2 yearsSomebody rang claiming they were from the local health service, saying that someone at my home had a health issue and could really do with a medical alert device - which isn’t right at all! They wanted to visit to discuss it more, but I told them no one here has any such problem and then they just ended the call abruptly.2 yearsGot a call from them earlier, they claimed someone in my house was ill according to their info. Then they started going on about some kind of emergency alarm thing that gets help instantly if needed. Honestly, I couldn’t even get a chance to speak, they just kept talking. I finally said I wasn’t interested and ended the call.2 yearsI’m utterly exasperated with these incessant pestering phone calls!2 yearsJust got a call like that too. The bloke claimed they’d got a list of people over 70 with certain health issues who might find a pendant alarm handy. When I asked where this list came from, he dodged the question and just kept going on about the list itself. Tried asking again but no clear answer, then he started explaining what a pendant alarm does. I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. Definitely feels like a scam.2 yearsI ignored the call at first, but after seeing what others have said, I’ve decided to block the number now.2 yearsReceived a rather unwanted phone call from someone named "Sam", who was droning on about windows and doors promotions. To be honest, the conversation was quite brief since I had no intention of engaging with their pitch.Sam2 yearsSome bloke called saying he wanted to sign me up for a medical alert "tag" thingy charging £1.73 every week. When I told him it sounded dodgy and I wasn’t giving any details, he suddenly went quiet. Tried to make it sound like a genuine service, but after reading other comments, apparently they might be selling windows too? Bit fishy if you ask me.2 yearsI got a call from someone named Sam who claimed there was an elderly person in my home with health problems (which is actually correct) and suggested getting a medical alert pendant. I politely declined, though!Sam2 yearsGot a call from someone saying he was David, claiming to be from UK Windows and Doors. He asked how my day was going. I told him I wasn’t interested in any windows or doors, thanks. He just said alright then, have a nice day!DavidUKDoors2 yearsThey sent me a text saying they'd be dropping by in a couple of days. Felt like total harassment to me.2 yearsTotal rip off!2 yearsGot a scam ring again, and of course, no voicemail or anything left behind.2 yearsA bloke called Sam rang me, said he was from Windows and Doors or something like that. He went on about knowing I owned a property, which I found a bit odd. I asked him what property he was on about and next thing, he just ended the call!SamWindows andDoors2 yearsGot a call but they didn’t leave any message. There’s nothing linked to that number online. Pretty sure it’s just a scam.Submit Your Own Report (01296 256888)
