Phone number ☎️ 01296256889 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting mainly elderly and vulnerable individuals with claims of offering free or discounted medical alert pendants or emergency alarm systems. Callers, often using the name "Sam," present themselves as local health workers or care advisers, pressuring recipients into costly payment plans and refusing to disclose company details. The calls display suspicious behaviour including ignoring questions, abrupt hang-ups, and scripted or robotic responses, suggesting possible AI involvement. Multiple users note the number bypasses Telephone Preference Service protections and may be linked to a sophisticated operation, possibly involving international call centres. Some attempts involve misleading offers related to home improvements. Overall, the number is associated with aggressive sales tactics, dubious claims about accessing personal medical data, and potential exploitation of vulnerable people; blocking and reporting are strongly advised.
Reports on phone number 01296256889
2 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be from a train company - never had that happen before! Total scam, obviously.2 yearsA polite gentleman called me about having new doors and windows nearby. I told him it wasn’t something I was interested in, and he ended the call promptly. He sounded real, not like one of those automated bots. Seems like it was either a sales pitch or maybe a scam.2 yearsI just didn't answer 'cause I didn’t know who it was.2 yearsBT Guardian stopped the call, so I know exactly what it would have been about. After looking it up here, it seems the chat usually centres on an SOS pendant. Funny enough, not long ago I was actually directed to my council for one myself. If I'd picked up, I might’ve ended up caught in a scam. I wonder if it’s just a strange coincidence or if someone’s managed to breach my council’s system?BT Guardian2 yearsGot a call where no one spoke, just some sort of automatic dialer. I’ve put their number on the blocked list now.2 yearsGot a call from a woman who asked if I owned the house. She said my name appeared on some list suggesting I might qualify for free solar panels. I just told her I wasn’t interested and ended the call.2 yearsMy landline is constantly bombarded with scam calls, so I just block the numbers as they come. After one call, I looked up the number and found this site. Loads of people talk about TPS, but weirdly enough, the scam calls only began after I signed up with them.TPS2 yearsThey called but didn’t bother to leave any message. I’m signed up with the TPS and don’t know anyone around here, so it’s pretty clear it wasn’t a legit call.2 yearsThey refused to share any info at first, but I guess when they saw I wasn't messing about, they mentioned it was about patients aged 70 plus. I just ended the call after that.2 yearsSomebody named Sam rang me, claiming to be from local health services. He told me I could get a personal alert alarm for contacting medics if I had a fall. I tried to explain I wasn’t interested but he just wouldn’t stop, pushing for me to agree to a payment plan at £1.70 daily. Naturally, he wanted my bank info. He wasn’t outright rude apart from not paying attention to what I said, but he was quite pushy. I ended up hanging up on him, checked the number later and found this site. This isn’t the first time calls have come from this exact number.Sam2 yearsI keep getting calls about some “free” fall alert pendant that they say only costs a small weekly fee. I’ve told them to stop ringing me ages ago. This all started after I had my hip replaced. It’s weird, makes you think maybe someone’s trading NHS info or something.NHS2 yearsI picked up the phone at 9:45 in the morning and the voice on the other end just said sorry if I messed up your day. Bit odd, right?2 yearsThe phone rang from a number I didn’t know, and just as I was about to ask who it was, the call got cut off. Pretty obvious it was some sort of scam, I reckon.2 yearsI told them my number’s on the TPS list and they really shouldn’t be ringing me up. For a moment he hesitated, but then just kept going with his usual spiel about some free medical alert pendant. Quite cheeky really!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone claiming to be local medical support. Then he started pushing some emergency button service that’s “free” but would apparently cost me about £1.30 a day. Tried cutting him off a few times but he just kept jabbering. When he finally asked what I thought, I straight up said No thanks in the clearest way possible. He quickly replied with “Call ended by me.” Feels like a definite scam to me. Watch out, folks!2 yearsJust let them keep talking without saying anything. Then ask them how they managed to get your number and details. They’ll probably just cut off the call... it’s definitely a scam.2 yearsSomeone rang my dad, who’s quite old, trying to push him into buying some kind of health pendant they said was vital. They kept saying there wasn’t any contract and he could test it for a week. Thankfully, my dad wasn’t having any of it and kept saying no until they just gave up and ended the call.2 yearsThey brought up my health out of nowhere and then started telling me I should get an alarm system or something. Bit strange if you ask me.2 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was part of a medical crew nearby. I just told him he was talking rubbish and maybe he should go make some babies instead.2 yearsThis bloke kept telling me I was over seventy and had loads of health problems that meant I had to get one of those emergency alert necklaces. He was so annoying, talking non-stop and shutting down every question I asked. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me. If I wasn’t so sharp, I reckon I could’ve been tricked easily. Somebody really should look into this number!2 yearsGot a call from this number, they stayed silent for a bit and then just ended the call.2 yearsTotally a scam. Got a call from some young bloke pushing a pendant, saying it’d help with my health issues. Dodged it straight away.2 yearsLooks like a scam, probably going after old folks and those with medical problems.2 yearsToday, I picked up a call, even though my BT system had flagged it as dubious. I aimed to add the number to my BT Call Protect blacklist. An English chap named Sam was on the other end, claiming they were reaching out to folks in my area regarding personal alert alarms. When I probed which postcode they were referring to, there was a bit of a delay before he mentioned a medical condition, to which I replied that I had none. After another awkward pause, he returned to his script, which made me suspect it was perhaps an automated system at play. I had already discerned it was a scam, so I decided to entertain the conversation to see how it unfolded. It's quite intriguing how they managed to get hold of my ex-directory number. Just a heads up, this is definitely a well-crafted scam targeting those who might be more prone to believing it.Sam2 yearsI've had the same bloke ring me quite a few times using different phone numbers, always about some medical alarm thing.2 yearsBit odd and a tad creepy, I reckon it was some kind of robot calling me. It said, "Hello, I’m Sam, your neighbourhood health advisor! How are you doing today?" Then nothing... just silence. After a pause, it repeated the exact same line. I tried asking something else but all I got was the same copy-paste message after another quiet spell. Never had that happen before. I’ve got a local GP practice, so why would I need a so-called "local health advisor" ringing me up?Sam2 yearsGot a call earlier and they refused to give any answers, felt like a dodgy healthcare scam. When I pushed back, they just ended the call on me.2 yearsOn the 24th of July 2024, I received a call from this number on my private mobile, which I’ve registered with the Telephone Preference Service to avoid such marketing calls. To my dismay, the caller merely introduced himself as "Sam" and immediately launched into a sales pitch without addressing my inquiries. What’s even more concerning is that when I attempted to return the call, I found myself speaking to someone based in India, who astonishingly had my phone number accessible to them. This shouldn't be feasible, as my phone settings are designed to prevent caller ID from being revealed. Quite worrying, to say the least!Telephone Preference ServiceSamIndia2 yearsI got a ring from a lad earlier, and when I questioned how he even got hold of my number considering I’m signed up with the TPS, he simply hung up on me. I’ve gone ahead and reported it to the TPS now.TPS2 yearsThey rang me but didn’t say anything, just one word then ended the call without leaving a message.2 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming I qualify for a free emergency pendant because of a disability. He said if I’m in trouble, I can press a button and get help straight away. I do have a medical issue but not one needing that sort of gadget. Didn’t share anything with him, just told him “No thanks, I don’t want it” and ended the call. Sounds like a dodgy healthcare scam to me.2 yearsWell, it was that same health scammer Sam ringing me once more - can’t believe he’s back at it. Told him to do one, honestly!Sam2 yearsI usually have my answerphone switched on, so these kinds of calls never end up leaving a message. When the answerphone’s off, you can tell straight away when the call’s dodgy because there’s always a moment of silence before the person starts talking.2 yearsEverytime I answer, there’s no one there on the other end.2 yearsI think this is a scam. I ended up talking to the person for nearly 40 seconds before I caught on. Fingers crossed this isn’t the beginning of loads of annoying calls.2 yearsThis bloke was super persistent, going on about some health problems I supposedly had that made me at risk. He kept insisting I should get a pendant alarm, claiming they’re proven lifesavers. I asked, “Are you sure you’ve got the right person? Who exactly are you ringing?” He went quiet for a bit, then suddenly offered to send one free for three months. I had to be pretty firm saying no before he finally listened and hung up.2 yearsToday I got a call from this bloke (can’t remember his name) claiming to be some sort of health rep around here. He goes on like he knows about some health issue I supposedly have and starts reading from a script, trying to sell me a medical alert device - like a button or a pendant or something. He mentioned there’d be an extra charge for being over 60, all adding up to about a quid a day. Then he tried pushing for me to get two of these things... that’s when I cut him off, said I have no idea what he’s on about and I don’t want one, not even two, and just hung up.2 yearsToday I got a call from a bloke named Sam, saying he wanted to send me a medic alert since he reckoned I was vulnerable or something. I asked straight away who he was actually looking for, but he just ignored me and kept going on about sending it with free delivery. I told him to be quiet and ended the call. Rang my doctor’s surgery afterwards and they said they’ve never heard of anyone called Sam. Proper waste of time.Sam2 yearsWARNING: Potential Scam Encounter! I received a telephone call from an individual claiming to be a healthcare representative, insisting he was aware of my current health issues and suggesting that I might find a medical alert device useful. He proposed to send one out to me at no cost for a trial period. When I probed further about how he obtained my number and informed him of my job at Citizens Advice, stating I would report him, he abruptly ended the call. This reeks of a scam without a doubt!WARNINGCitizens Advice2 yearsI got a call from someone pushing a medical alert gadget, saying they knew my health issues and that I was over 70. Both are wrong, and anyway, there’s no way they could have that info on me.2 yearsI got a call from someone named Sam who started talking about my health problems and said I qualify for a medical alert pendant. He wouldn’t explain how they got my info, which was weird. Felt like he was just reading from some script. I told him to buzz off and immediately blocked the number.Sam2 yearsSome bloke called Sam claiming to be from health services, trying to push me an emergency alert pendant. I asked if he’d actually recommend it to his own grandma and he just cut the call. That says it all really!!!Sam2 yearsGot a call from a bloke who claimed to be from some health care firm around Milton Keynes. Turned out to be dodgy though, 'cause as soon as I asked a few questions, he just hung up on me. Definitely a scammer.Milton Keynes2 yearsSo O2 flagged the call as spam and stopped it from ringing. Gotta say, good on them for that. I was just reading the reviews and glad it stopped me from annoying time-wasting. 😀Kudos2 yearsI got a call from someone who didn’t even bother to find out my name but kept saying I needed a “free” alarm in case I had a fall. Then they hit me with it costing 1.70 quid a day! They claimed I was tagged as vulnerable, but honestly, I’m too sharp to fall for these scams.2 yearsI rang the mobile but it just went straight to voicemail, didn’t leave a message though.2 yearsGot a really dodgy call from some bloke claiming he was from health care. Decided to just block the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be a local health worker. He kept saying he could notify my family if anything happened to me but then tried to push an alarm pendant, saying it’s for anyone above 70. I’m not even close to that age! I kept telling him that, but he just ignored what I was saying. I even asked straight if he was a robot, yes or no, but he wouldn’t answer. Ended up just hanging up on him.2 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. When my answerphone kicked in, they just dropped the call straight away! Feels like just another scam to me!!2 yearsGot a call from this guy, Sam, who claimed he was with Healthcare Company. He tried to sell me a free health alarm because he reckoned I had some health problems. Told him I wasn’t interested and didn’t have any such issues. He was really pushy, kept cutting me off while I was trying to speak. Eventually, he gave up and hung up.SamHealth Care2 yearsBefore I could even say a word, the person was already on the line asking if I could hear them. They were offering some sort of free health monitor and kept insisting I needed it. I told them this was a work phone, but they ignored me and carried on chatting. I ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away.2 yearsJust got a ring from this number, some guy saying he’s with a window firm offering half price on doors and windows. I hung up straight away. Sounds like a total con like others have mentioned, mine was actually about some health stuff. How can one number be used for all these dodgy calls?2 yearsI chose not to pick up. They didn't leave any voicemail.2 yearsGot a call but nobody said a word, quite odd really.2 yearsGot a call from 01296256889 around 1:57 this afternoon. I recognised the number from a previous scam alert I found online, so I just ignored it. Didn't pick up at all.2 yearsDidn’t get any voicemail, so I’m guessing it was probably a scam.2 yearsSome bloke said he was a health care worker, but everytime I asked his name or location, he just stopped talking. He wouldn't tell me where he was phoning from, so I ended the call.2 yearsI wasnt convinced at all, but they keep ringing me back quite a few times.2 yearsAfter a few moments of quiet, the bloke called Sam began rattling off his scripted lines. He asked if I was alright health-wise (nothing much wrong here) before trying to pitch some 'free emergency pendant'. I told him straight up we’re registered with TPS and asked him to stop calling but he just carried on until I repeated myself and mentioned reporting him. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls like this.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsGot called about a “free” health alert pendant, but I reckon it was a bot. Every sentence kept starting with “so” and if I gave a strange reply, it just looped back to the beginning of the same script. Felt really fake to me.2 yearsGot a call that seemed like one of those dodgy health care scams, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsAbout ten minutes back they rang me... I just ignored it and plan on blocking the number before the day is out.2 yearsWhat an absolute rotter! When I mentioned that I’d lost both my legs, four fingers from my left hand, and have limited vision, he promptly hung up on me. Just dreadful!2 yearsTotal scam, dodged a bullet there!2 yearsThis bloke tried to sound like he was some health worker pitching emergency alarms, but honestly he was all over the place, stumbling over his words like he wasn’t prepared at all! I mentioned that me and my missus are both young and fit, about in our twenties, and he just went strangely silent. After a short pause like that I just hung up the phone.2 yearsI received a phone call from this number today. They were attempting to pitch me a complimentary trial for an emergency pendant. It really seemed like they were using some form of AI technology. I posed a query and there was an awkward silence before I got a reply that didn’t even address what I had asked. Quite odd, to say the least.2 yearsI got calls from this number, or ones very close to it, about four times within just over an hour. I’m pretty sure it’s tied to several scams, so I made sure to block every single one. Honestly, I’m so grateful for answer machines that show who’s calling and let you block them - these scammy calls are such a pain!2 yearsSome bloke called claiming he worked in health services locally and was selling personal alarm bracelets. I told him I already had one, then he asked if I managed my own money. I wondered why that was relevant, and next thing he wants me to spell out my first name! I told him to identify himself properly if he was really with the local health office. Then he just hung up on me - clearly a dodgy call!2 yearsI reckon they might be involved in the insurance sector.2 yearsI received a call that was supposedly from my local health authority, supposedly regarding medical alerts. However, it was evident that they had no clue which health board I belong to, as they kept regurgitating the same lines over and over again. It felt quite scripted and insincere.2 yearsThey just stay silent and hang up as soon as the voicemail kicks in.2 yearsPretending to represent the local health service - definitely a scam!2 yearsGot a call from 01296 256889, they began leaving a voicemail but cut off suddenly. After seeing what others wrote about this number, I’ve decided to block it.2 yearsGot a call from 01296 256888 around 10:48 in the morning but couldn’t pick up. Marked it as a bother. Best to avoid picking up calls from numbers you don’t recognise.2 yearsGot a call from 01296256889 this morning around 8.20, but I didn’t pick up.2 yearsOn the morning of 25/6/24 at about 9:06, this number rang but hung up straightaway once our BT answerphone picked up. Nothing was left in voicemail, which seems to be usual with calls like this. I got the call here in Devon, down in the South West. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this number pop up. From now on, I’ll just be blocking it.DevonSouth West2 yearsThere was that usual pause before the caller started talking, just like with most scams. They were asking stuff about home ownership, but I didn’t hang around and ended the call straight away.2 yearsThis bloke just wouldn't listen, banging on about guarding my assets when I'd already told him we've got none - we're on a housing association and live off prepayment meters, scraping by each day. I even told him to piss off but he kept on. Then he rang me again, saying he’d be looking into whether we have any assets and would get back to me about how to protect them! Absolutely ridiculous.2 yearsGot a call from this number, was marked as annoying, and it turned out to be some windows and doors firm. They wanted to pop round offering a 'free' survey, but it was just a sneaky way to push a hard sell.2 yearsI picked up but then the call just dropped straight away... weird!Submit Your Own Report (01296 256889)
