01417298572 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01417298572 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting older individuals with unsolicited calls claiming eligibility for free medical alert pendants. Callers, often using the name "John" or "Alex" and inconsistent locations, pressure recipients for personal and financial details, despite being challenged about how they obtained their numbers - many of which are registered with the Telephone Preference Service. The offers are misleading, frequently attempt to extract bank information, and abruptly end calls when questioned. Victims report fast-talking, scripted interactions, refusal to disclose legitimate company details, and repeated harassment. Authorities advise treating these calls as fraudulent, blocking the number, and seeking assistance from reputable debt and consumer advice organisations rather than engaging with unverified callers offering unsolicited financial or medical products.
Reports on phone number 01417298572
4 yearsLoads of numbers have been sending me the exact same message about Worldpay, this one being just another example.Worldpay4 yearsGot called by someone pretending to be from a medical alert company - total scam, don’t fall for it!4 yearsGot a call from 01417298572 on the 18th of March, a Friday. The person was offering a pendant alert service, saying it was free for two weeks. Since I was actually waiting for a call about pendants, I didn't think twice. I ended up giving out some debit card info, but shortly after, my bank messaged me about some transactions on my card. I've since updated my card details to be safe.4 yearsThis was for some kind of medical emergency thingy.4 yearsI recently received a rather curious offer for a complimentary medical alert gadget. When the caller inquired if I was over the age of 50, I naturally responded in the affirmative. Out of sheer curiosity, I pressed for their identity and origin. The individual introduced themselves as John, ringing from Dorset. My instincts were tingled, and I requested that he mail me some information for further consideration. To my surprise, he promptly ended the call!JohnDorset4 yearsThis bloke rang me up saying I qualified for some kind of medical alert system, claiming that certain experts nearby had passed on my info. The first thing he asked was if I was above 50. I asked him which so-called professional gave him my number, but of course he couldn’t answer that. He kept going on about this medical alert for folks living by themselves. When I said I wasn’t unwell or anything, he just cut me off.4 yearsReceived a call around 5:45pm on the 18th of March, 2022. The bloke was young, spoke very quickly and said something about qualifying for a medical alert device. It was hard to get him off the line. Tried asking who he was trying to reach, what company he was with and how he got my number, but he dodged all the questions. When I asked where he was calling from, he said ‘Dorset’. Asked which organisation gave him my number, no answer and then he just hung up. Feels like a dodgy scam to me! Proper annoying and could even be unsafe ⚠️DorsetNHS4 yearsGot a call about some medical alert device, but the person didn’t know anything about me - not my age or any health info. Felt like they were just trying to fish for details. Don’t trust them, don’t share anything! Total SCAM!!!! SCAM!!!! SCAM!!!!4 yearsGot a call from someone saying it was about a medical alert pendant.4 yearsThey tried to sell me some over-the-top pricey medical alert thing, but it was clearly just a scam trying to nab my bank info. Complete nonsense!4 yearsGot a call from someone named John claiming to be from a medical alert company, said I might qualify for a wrist alert thingy. Then he asked if I was over 50, and I just replied, “If you think I qualify, you must already know.” Well, he ended the call right after that. By the way, I found out these Medical Alert Systems are actually based in Glasgow, Kentucky, USA.JohnMedical AlertMedical Alert SystemsGlasgowUSA4 yearsThey claimed to be from a Medical Alert Contact Centre, checking if I qualified for a complimentary contact fob. I asked a couple times where they obtained my info, but the person just followed a set script. When I expressed my confusion about how they had my details, he said his manager passed the info on and promised the manager would call back to clarify. I told him the call made me uneasy and ended the conversation.Medical Alert Contact Centre4 yearsGot a call from this number but nobody answered when I picked up - pretty sure it was a phishing scam.4 yearsDidnt pick up this number and have to say, reading other comments it looks like a likely medical scam. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.4 yearsAround half past four I recieved a call from this number. The guy on the line, who said his name was John and sounded quite polite, told me I'd probably qualify for a medical alert device. I told him I wasn't interested and ended the call. At first, I wasnt totally sure if it was a con but after looking up the number I can tell for sure now that it was a scam!John4 yearsThey didn't even bother leaving a voicemail.4 yearsSaw I missed a call from this number earlier. When I looked it up, it seemed to be from Glasgow, though could be faked. They rang again and I asked where exactly they were calling from - they said "Dorset". So why do they have a Glasgow number then? I just hung up and blocked them straight away.GlasgowDorset4 yearsI just ended the call straight away.4 yearsGot a ring from a place calling itself the Medical Alert Contact Centre offering a free contact fob. After asking a couple of times what their actual company name was and where they got my number from, they only kept going over the same spiel. Ended up just hanging up on them.Medical Alert Contact Centre4 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from some Medical Alert service. I’m in good shape and kept trying to explain that, but the person just kept yabbering and didn’t let me say a word until I just hung up. Makes me feel bad for older folks who might actually need help and could be tricked by these awful scammers.Medical Alert4 yearsI've received calls from this dodgy number attempting to hawk some so-called medical bracelet. Complete con artists, if you ask me!4 yearsGot a call from some health company claiming they give out free mobility equipment. Felt a bit dodgy to me.4 yearsThey claimed the medical alert pendant was free for over 50s, but it smelled like a total phishing scam to me.4 yearsA bloke named John gave me a ring trying to sell some sort of medical alert button. I told him I wasn’t interested as I already have a landline at home. After that, he just said alright and hung up.John4 yearsGot a call from someone named John claiming to be from Medical Alert, sounded quite polite. He said I qualified for their medical alert pendant and asked if I was above 50. I questioned him about who he was and how he got my details, and then he just said bye and ended the call. Didn’t ask for it and no one in this house wants one of those pendants! We're ex-directory and signed up to the TPS, so I've reported it to the ICO. If you try ringing the number again, there's an option to press "1" to stop any more calls.JohnTPSICO4 yearsGot a robocall but it never actually went through.4 yearsReceived a rather dodgy phone call earlier today from someone claiming to be "Alex from the Medical Alert Centre". They went on about their company being a well-respected establishment down in the south west and mentioned something about me possibly being eligible for a complimentary pendant along with a free evaluation. To be honest, it all felt a bit off, so I decided to hang up. After doing some digging, it seems I've stumbled upon a scam for sure.AlexMedical Alert Centre4 yearsGot a call from some random number about a free medical alert thingy for people over 50. It was a total cold call, which I thought was meant to be banned? Surely the government should be doing something about these dodgy calls! They used a blocked number too, typical of these scammy criminals.4 yearsI received a call earlier today, supposedly promoting a complimentary medical alert pendant. They then inquired about my age and any existing health issues I might have. When I mentioned that I had no clue who this 'John' fellow was and that he could be anyone really, he courteously wished me a pleasant day and hung up. Clearly, this is just a con aimed at fishing for personal details.John4 yearsSome bloke rang me saying it was a health warning. I asked how on earth he got my number and he just wished me a good day nicely before hanging up.4 yearsNot sure where they found my number since it’s unlisted. The guy claimed he was with some medical advice group and asked loads of quite relevant questions. Just a heads up, it’s definitely a sales tactic trying to catch you out.4 yearsGot a call from someone who said his name was John and was asking about our service agreement. When I questioned him a bit, he just ended the call. Sounds like a total scam to me. Watch out!John4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with the Medical Alert Contact Centre, telling me I might qualify for a medical pendant if I’m over 50. When I asked where they got my number from since I’m on the TPS, they just brushed off the question and didn’t answer. Definitely felt like a scam to me!Medical Alert Contact CentreTelephone Preference Service4 yearsGlad I chose not to pick up when an unknown number rang, especially after seeing what others have said here. Best to just let those calls go unanswered.4 yearsThis morning I got a call from this number about a medical alert pendant. The caller asked if I was over 50, and when I inquired why he thought I’d need one, he just said have a nice day and then ended the call. Sounds like a total scam to me.4 yearsGot a call from some bloke calling himself “John” from “The Medical Alert Centre”. He said they’d got my number somehow (we used to be together) and that I might qualify for a free medical alarm. Didn’t even check if it was me he was talking to. Told him to jog on and then blocked the number!JohnThe Medical Alert Centre4 yearsJust got a call asking if I’m over 50 and saying I might qualify for some free medical alert. Our phone’s on the TPS list, so this has got scam written all over it. Definitely not legit.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsSomeone rang me saying there was a free health check available, but when I tried to ask stuff, they just kept repeating some script and couldn't really give any clear answers. Feels like a total scam to me.4 yearsSomeone named Jon called me from this number selling a medical alert pendant, asking if I was over 50. I quickly ended the call. It felt a bit dodgy since he was talking really fast, and I reckon the name Medical Alert might easily be mixed up with Medic Alert, which is a legit charity.Jon4 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Domestic and General regarding some sort of Heating Cover that I don't actually possess. On the second call, he referred to himself as John. Rather peculiar, don’t you think?John4 yearsI just had a rather peculiar phone call from someone inquiring if I might be eligible for a medical alert pendant, specifically asking if I was over 50. I couldn't help but query whether these devices are mainly intended for older or less mobile individuals. Strangely, there was no clear response to my question, just a quick thank you for my time before the line went dead. Quite suspect, if you ask me!4 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to sell a medical alert system, and they inquired if I was over the age of 50. The moment I replied in the negative, they promptly hung up. Quite a peculiar experience, I must say!4 yearsI've had enough of this number, so I've definitely cut it off on my landline. Those scammers really get under my skin!4 yearsNot sure where they found my number as it’s unlisted. The caller claimed to be part of a medical advice group and asked loads of detailed questions. Just a heads up, it’s a scam trying to sell something.4 yearsFunny thing is, I keep gettin calls from this “John” bloke every week saying my heating and boiler deal isn’t the best one out there. I’ve told him loads of times we don’t even have a contract with them, but he just won’t quit. Feels like a scam to me. Unless he’s just got a crush or summat 😂😂😂John4 yearsHe called and said he was from Dorset when I asked, but the moment I inquired how he had my phone number, he just ended the call.Dorset4 yearsI received a call on Tuesday, the 15th of February, where the caller inquired if I was interested in a complimentary medical examination. I promptly informed them that I undergo one every three months at the hands of my General Practitioner. Curious, I inquired how they had sourced my ex-directory number and made it clear that I'd need to escalate this matter if indeed my doctor’s practice had shared my personal information without consent. The caller, rather abruptly, thanked me for my time and then seemed to hastily end the conversation, almost as if they were in a rush to hang up. I later spoke to my GP's surgery, and they confirmed it was nothing but a scam.4 yearsI received a rather peculiar call regarding a medical alert system, but they'd first like to inquire about my health. When I inquired about the name they had on their records, there was an unsettling silence. It seems like this could either be a dodgy cold call or something much more devious targeting vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly or disabled. Quite concerning, I must say!4 yearsI was approached with an offer for a complimentary alarm pendant because I'm over fifty. Honestly, it feels like a con to me; who actually hands out things for nothing? It’s hard to believe anyone would just give something away without a catch.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they had free alarm pendants for folks over 50. I asked where they got my number from and he said the Manager handed him a list. He spoke really quickly. Then he wanted my card info, but once I said I don’t share that over the phone, he hung up straight away.4 yearsSome random number called, but they didn’t bother to leave any message.4 yearsLooks like the same as what others said, I got a call from someone called Alex claiming to be with a medical alert service, said they were based in Dorset. Bit odd though as 01417 code points to Glasgow, not sure what that's about.AlexDorsetGlasgow4 yearsI always let unknown numbers go to voicemail; I never pick up unless I know who’s calling.4 yearsSome bloke called for Alex, but I didn’t quite get the place he said he was from, only caught the last part which was ‘Centre’. When I asked him to repeat it, he went quiet for a moment then just said “no worries” and ended the call. Based on the other comments, sounds like a dodgy scam.Alex4 yearsAt just before 5 this evening, I got a ring from 01417298572. The person on the other end claimed to be calling from a health centre, offering me a medical alert device in case I had a fall and was home alone. When I told them I wasn't interested, they kept interrupting me and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Eventually, I had to hang up.4 yearsGot a call from someone calling themselves "Alex" claiming to be from a Medical Alert Centre. They wanted to know if I was over 50, saying I might qualify for one of their medical alert pendants. Since I'm registered on the TPS, I don't usually get these sorts of calls so it felt suspicious right away. I told them I don’t entertain cold calls and just ended the call straight away. Looks like a total scam to me.AlexMedical Alert CentreTelephone Preference Service4 yearsThis bloke called claiming to be from "Medical Alert" trying to sell me some sort of medical alert pendant. I told him straight up that sounded dodgy and he should jog off with his nonsense.4 yearsWARNING: Possible scam from number ####! Be careful if they call.4 yearsThey didnt leave a message, seems like a scam to me. Best to just block the number if you get the chance.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said his name was Alex and that he was ringing from somewhere in Dorset. He started asking how old I was, and when I told him I was over 50, he said I could get a safety pendant. The line was pretty rubbish though, so I didn’t catch much about the company he was with. He mentioned something about a free trial and then charging £9 a month after that. It all sounded dodgy to me, so I ended the call straight away.AlexDorset4 yearsI received a call from the Medical Alert Centre and spoke to a young lady named Alex. She mentioned something about a complimentary medical alert system, which struck me as rather dubious. I opted to hang up before things progressed further.Medical Alert CentreAlex4 yearsThey called me saying I could get a free emergency pendant but didn’t even say who they were. Sounds like a total rip-off to me.4 yearsHas anyone heard of that free scheme for a medical alert pendant? Just wondering if it’s legit or some sort of scam. Tried looking it up but couldn’t find much info. Would be great if it’s real though!4 yearsSome health alarm, don’t know what it was about.4 yearsGot a call from Alex at Medical Alert (0141 729 8572) saying my number was on some list of folks over 50 with health conditions, and I might qualify for a free pendant. When I asked how he got my number, he just talked over me, claiming it came from a list given to him. I've reported this to the ICO because he rang a couple weeks back and even asked for my late mum by name - she passed away 7 years ago. Clearly, whoever provided that list handed over outdated info. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam, and definitely a breach of data protection laws. Best to steer clear of them.AlexMedical AlertICO4 yearsGot a call, but when I answered nobody spoke. Reading through others' comments, sounds like a scam. Those red buttons they mention are handled by your local council anyway if you need one. I've just blocked the number to be safe.4 yearsI got a call from some bloke claiming I might qualify for a medical alert bracelet. He began quizzing me about how old I was and if I use a walking stick. I told him no, so he said there’s no point carrying on with the call then. After that, he just wished me a good day and hung up.4 yearsSome bloke called, asked how old I was and if I used a walking stick. Then he started talking about some kind of pendant alarm, asking if I fancied one.4 yearsMight be dodgy, as the caller wouldn't allow me to end the conversation.4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were with medical alert services. They asked if I use a cane and then mentioned I qualified for a free alert pendant. When I tried to find out who had recommended me, they just didn’t answer. It felt dodgy, like maybe it was a pre-recorded message with pauses for me to say something. Definitely seemed fishy to me.4 yearsGot a call from 01417298572 claiming to be with Medialert, saying I could get a Medialert medallion. I said I wasn't interested, but the person just kept on going, so I ended up hanging up.Medialert4 yearsMy grandad got a ring from this number the other day. The bloke claimed he was with some medical alert company and said my grandad could get one of their medical alert pendants. They chatted a bit about his health stuff, then the guy drops the price - £30 a month. My grandad ended the call straight away after that.4 yearsSome bloke called offering a "free" medical alarm, never even bothered to ask my name. When I asked why he was ringing, he just started rattling off a lot of info and then cut me off. Total waste of time and could really upset elderly folks.4 yearsGot a call from 01417298572 but the person on the other end didn’t say a word? Strange.4 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Akex claiming to be from Medical Alert or summat. Dunno where he got my number. He asked if I’m over 50 and if I wanted a free falls pendant. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a con.AkexMedical Alert4 yearsGot a call from a number I didnt recognise, and they didnt bother to leave a message on my voicemail either.4 yearsgot a call from alex, said he’s from some medical alert place offering a free device if you’re over 50. i wasn’t really interested but thanked him and hung up. quite polite overall.Alex4 yearsGot a call from someone saying Alex was with the medical alert centre.AlexMedical Alert Centre4 yearsI received a call today claiming that I might qualify for a complimentary MedicAlert pendant.
