Phone number ☎️ 01296256890 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to scam calls promoting medical alert systems, often targeting the elderly or vulnerable. Callers typically claim to be health workers or affiliated with the NHS, offering free or trial medical pendants, but later disclose daily charges. Despite many complainants being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue unabated. Reported tactics include scripted sales pitches, withholding company details, abrupt hang-ups when challenged, and use of robo-calls or AI voices. Several individuals express concern over data breaches due to the apparent possession of personal health information. The general consensus warns against engagement, advising to block the number and avoid sharing personal details or responding to prompts. Authorities are urged to enforce regulations against these illegal cold calls.

2 yearsTried calling a couple days ago, no reply.2 yearsGot a call earlier today but didn't pick up since I never take calls from numbers I don't recognise. They didn’t leave a voicemail either. I’m signed up to the TPS, so really, I shouldn’t be bothered with junk calls like this. They ought to be fined for ignoring TPS rules, in my opinion!Telephone Preference ServiceTPS2 yearsI got a call from a woman named Jane who told me I qualified for free solar panels. Once I explained I don’t own the house, she quickly ended the chat.Jane2 yearsI recently received a rather dubious call from a man claiming to be a health representative for my local area in Angus, Scotland. He insisted that, based on some so-called 'information' they possessed, I was suffering from a certain ailment that required me to get in touch with their call centre. Honestly, it was utter rubbish! When I pointed out the ridiculousness of his claim, the call was abruptly cut off. Curiously, I chatted with a few neighbours, only to discover they had the very same experience. Strange indeed! The call came through on the 1st of August, 2024, at exactly 9:28 in the morning.AngusScotland2 yearsI got a voicemail with someone saying just "OK" but their accent was really thick.2 yearsLast week I suffered a stroke, and earlier today I got a phone call from this number. They were pushing an emergency pendant service. Usually, I'd just hang up straight away. But with my current health issues, I ended up getting drawn in. I didn’t share any bank or card info but did confirm my name and where I live. They said they’ll send me something through the post. I’ve tried to call and cancel it, but all I get are those annoying automated replies. Guess I’ll just wait and see what turns up.2 yearsSome bloke called me from this number, said his name was Sam and sounded quite pleasant, said he worked in health services around here. He told me I could get a free alarm to wear in case I fall over or something. I asked why he was ringing me and where he got my details since I don’t need any of that stuff. He hung up straight away. Pretty clear to me that it was just a con.Sam2 yearsThe bloke sounded really friendly, went by Sam and had this fancy British accent. We’re always on our guard with random calls like that, especially since we’re registered with the TPS and shouldn’t be getting them in the first place. He said he was a medical rep working locally. Another one to add to the block list. It breaks my heart thinking about the older or more vulnerable folks who might actually fall for these scams. Honestly, I can’t figure how these conmen just sleep easy.TPS2 yearsHe kept asking about any health problems but I didn’t want to say anything. Then he said I could get a free alarm, but I just told him I already had one sorted.2 yearsWe've had several patients reach out to our practice, reporting they've been targeted by a scam phone call. The callers are requesting money in return for a personal alarm system, which seems a bit dodgy.2 yearsThis has got to be a con, just like what others said here. They claimed to be a health expert and went on about how I supposedly have lots of health problems, trying to sell me a personal medical alert pendant. Honestly, how on earth do these scammers even get hold of my private landline number? Someone needs to put a stop to this rubbish.2 yearsToday I ignored a call because my caller ID displayed “nuisance call.” We’re with BT and have this feature activated. Right after, I hung up and dialled 1471 to find out which number had tried to reach me, then searched it on this site. Plenty of folks here mentioned it’s a scam. So it looks like BT flags these as nuisance calls on purpose. I’m signed up to the telephone preference service too, so I reckon they really shouldn’t be bothering me. Fingers crossed the authorities slap them with a hefty penalty.BTTelephone Preference Service2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a healthcare worker nearby. When I asked if he was with the NHS, he said no but insisted they’re connected somehow. Then he went on about some medical alert pendants. I tried to get him to say who exactly he worked for, but he just carried on with his spiel. Told him I wouldn’t bother listening unless he told me who he was representing, but he was just going at it non-stop. I ended up hanging up and blocked the number. Only picked up cause I’m expecting a ring about a dishwasher delivery!NHS2 yearsGot a call from 01296256890 on my landline around 4:08pm today. I checked the number against the TPS and it’s apparently linked to a medical-related scam. I've already reported it and blocked the caller.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsJust got a call from someone called SAM again, seems like he’s everywhere these days lol. Classic SCAM alert with Sam!2 yearsSome bloke called ‘Sam’, I think, said he was a health worker from here…but I hung up before he could say much more.Sam2 yearsSam has called me at least twice now, claiming to be the local health advisor for my postcode, using the exact same spiel each time. When I asked him if he actually knew my postcode, he couldn’t answer properly. I just ended the call because I reckon he’s trying to push some product. I’m on the TPS list, but it doesn’t seem to block these calls. Honestly, it’s pretty frustrating.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a voicemail saying, "I completely respect your choice and hope you enjoy the rest of your day." Seemed like a call centre, but they didn’t leave a chance to reply after the beep? Bit odd if you ask me.2 yearsI keep getting calls from someone named "Sam" saying they're my local health care provider. The strange thing is, my landline is unlisted and I've kept it private for ages, so I really don't know how they managed to get hold of it.Sam2 yearsI’m pretty sure this was one of those bot calls. When they asked how I was, I said I had covid. To my surprise, they actually left me alone after that. Just a heads up, be careful.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam who claimed I had a health problem. When I tried asking questions, he wouldn’t answer any of them - felt like it was just a robot on the other end. Apparently, he was trying to push some personal alarm system. I ended the call straight away since it seemed like a total scam. The number was 01296256890 if anyone wants to check.Sam2 yearsI just got a call on my home phone, this bloke said "Hello, can you hear me alright?" I asked who it was and he goes, "I'm Sam, a health care worker from your area." I didn’t bother chatting, just hung up straight away.Sam2 yearsGot a call from someone saying I could get a free medical alert device because I'm over 70 and have certain health issues. Problem is, neither of those things is true for me! Definitely a scam.2 yearsCareline 365 Ltd seems like a real business that sells personal alarm gadgets to older folks and those in need, mainly by cold-calling. They say they work with the NHS and other organisations, which might be true. But really, anyone needing these alarms should go through proper health services because it could be free of charge. I'm curious about how they get hold of people's personal info. Could it be there's been a breach with NHS data?Careline 365 LtdNHS2 yearsI picked up the phone but stayed quiet, reckon it was some call centre, so I just ended the call.2 yearsEven though I’m registered with the TPS, this number still managed to ring me up. They didn’t seem to care about the TPS at all. The person said they were Sam and claimed I had some sort of ‘medical problem’ which meant I qualified for a free medical gadget, apparently available in my area. I have no clue where they got my info from, but it sounded dodgy to me. Honestly, it felt like a scam and at the very least, a blatant cold call that shouldn’t be happening.Telephone Preference ServiceSam2 yearsHad a call from someone named Sam about a medical alert pendant, said he was linked with my doctor. Got really silent when I told him I’d check with my GP first. Total scam, I reckon.Sam2 yearsI got a call from some sort of AI robot, sounded fishy to me. It kept pausing loads, probably trying to understand what I said. They were offering a free pendant alarm, but of course, they want you to pay a tiny charge every day. Total scam if you ask me.2 yearsI got a call from 01296256890 about some medical token deal, saying it would only cost me £1.40 per day with a free trial. When I asked who they actually wanted to reach, the person just kept repeating the same spiel over and over. Such a waste of time!2 yearsThis afternoon around 4.30, my landline got a call, but whoever it was just ended it without saying a word or leaving any message.2 yearsGot a call that seemed like a medical scam. I answered but there was silence on the other end. Then they just hung up. Felt a bit fishy to me.2 yearsGot a call from a number I don't recognise, but they didn't bother leaving a voicemail.2 yearsGot a voicemail from this number, all it said was "Um." No clue what that was about, but after checking here, looks like I should just block it. So that's what I'll do.2 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be Sam, said they're a local health worker around here and just checking if we're alright. Feels like a total SCAM to me.Sam2 yearsI keep getting calls from this number like 4 or 5 times daily, and whenever I pick up, the person just drops the call right away. It's pretty annoying.2 yearsJust got a call from this number, some bloke claiming to be David from *** Windows & Doors or something like that, couldn’t really hear the full company name. Told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call straight away. I’m on the TPS list as well, so not sure what they’re playing at now.DavidWindows & DoorsTPP2 yearsGot a really dodgy call from a company that’s clearly not on the TPS list. Have gone ahead and blocked the number now.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsOh yeah, for sure it's one of those dodgy medical scams 🤪2 yearsGot a call from this number. They didn’t say who they were, probably 'cause of the call screener which I guess made them hold back.2 yearsGot two calls back to back from an unknown number, but I didn’t pick up since I didn’t recognise it.2 yearsLike some of the others said, he claimed to be my local health consultant, but having experience in healthcare, I knew straight away that wasn’t true and told him exactly that. He kept stumbling over his lines, clearly reading from some script. I got tired of it and just told him I wasn’t interested in a pendant before hanging up. Total scam.2 yearsGot a call from someone pushing a medical alert system. They first told me it was free but then changed their tune and said it would cost me £1.20 each day. Felt like a total scam to me!2 yearsI got a phone call from some random firm claiming they knew about my health problems and trying to get me to buy one of those Medical Alert necklaces. They wouldn’t say how they got my info, and even though they kept insisting I was above 70, they couldn’t actually tell me my real age. Proper dodgy if you ask me.Medical Alert2 yearsI set my answerphone to ask for the caller's details, like their name and number, but they ended the call right before I could get the info. So, I've just blocked the number now.2 yearsThis number rang me a while ago, and the person asked if I could hear them. I said yes but quickly hung up right after. Fingers crossed they don’t try to twist my reply into something shady.2 yearsComplete rip-off...Stay well clear!!2 yearsGot a call from this number today, he asked if I could hear him alright, I said yes but then he just hung up. Don’t know if it’s a scam or something else.2 yearsGot a call but no message was left. Missed it.2 yearsI tried returning the call to this number, but it seemed to be out of service.2 yearsIt was one of those robot calls, I hung up straight away. Total scam!2 yearsReceived a call this evening, touting a complimentary medical alert system. It had all the hallmarks of a dodgy scam, to be honest.2 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming he was from health services saying I could get a medical alert tag since I’m over 65. But then he slipped that it would actually cost me more than a pound a day! I just told him to jog on, I might be over 65 but I'm no mug, nothing that says ‘free’ should come with a price tag!2 yearsGot a call from someone trying to sell these medical alert devices. Feels like a total rip-off to me.2 yearsThey rang me up trying to get me to test a medical alert system, saying if I liked it, they’d sort out a direct debit. They said they’d send a letter and then call back. When I told them I wanted everything in an email instead, the bloke just ended the call. After that, I got a recorded message asking me to press 1 to stop the calls. My advice? Don’t press anything, just hang up. I ended up ringing them back myself - it was Lifeline.2 yearsThis number has called me a few times now. You can tell it’s some kind of robot because whenever I try to reply or ask something, it just stays silent. 01296 256890. The message claims I’ve got health problems and can get a free alert button. They want my personal info but I just end the call straight away.2 yearsGot a call from a man saying he was with some "local health service" trying to sell medical alert stuff. I’ve had this dodgy call a couple of times now, and we're already sorted with a well-known national provider. Put him on block, but I bet they’ll ring from a different number next time. Just tiring really...2 yearsThis call was so clearly just trying to scam me and get into my bank details. Definitely not to be trusted!2 yearsJust got a call from 01296 256890, some bloke called Sam trying to flog me a free medical alert alarm for if I take a tumble. Bit cheeky if you ask me! Didn't waste any time and blocked the number straight away.Sam2 yearsGot a call today from some bloke saying he was with the local health service and wanted to give me a free medical alert gadget. Thing is, last I checked, South Scotland isn’t anywhere near Aylesbury. I told him I wasn't interested and just hung up. Oh, and I’m on the TPS list as well.South ScotlandAylesburyTelephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the local health counsel about some free government-funded emergency alarms for falls, saying I qualified because of some 'medical condition' on their file. The person on the line just read from a script and seemed really annoyed when I asked anything besides what was in it. They kept repeating the same info over and over. Bit of a laugh, really. Certainly feels like a scam to me.2 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were a healthcare worker from around here. Funny thing is, Aylesbury definitely isn’t in East Yorkshire as they claimed. I’ve gone ahead and blocked that number now.AylesburyEast Yorkshire2 yearsI answered the call but stayed quiet, then they just ended it. I blocked the number after that.2 yearsI picked up this call cos the number looked familiar, from around here. The person on the line asked if I wanted one of those security pendants, saying it’s for people with mobility issues. How on earth did they know that about me?? Felt instantly like a scam, so I just ended the call quickly. Watch out for this kinda thing...2 yearsI got a call from a bloke who spoke English. At first, he said it was free, but then mentioned it would cost £1.70 each day. I asked him a couple of times where he was calling from, but he just ignored me and kept going “hmm” to everything I asked, then continued reading off what sounded like a script.2 yearsI answered the call but stayed silent, then they just hung up.
