01483979593 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01483979593 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam targeting mainly elderly individuals by claiming eligibility for a free medical alert pendant or emergency device. Callers, often using the name "John" or claiming to represent organisations like "Medical Alert Centre" or "Independent Seniors," ask intrusive personal health questions and attempt to collect payment details for non-free services. The calls may utilise prerecorded speech to mimic live conversation. Many recipients report no message left, prompting suspicion. Users strongly advise against answering, sharing personal information or engaging with these calls. It is recommended to report the number to the Telephone Preference Service and Information Commissioner's Office, block it, and remain vigilant to prevent falling victim to this deceptive practice.

Got a call from 01483 378593 and immediately worried something was wrong with my mum. Rang her straight away and she’s absolutely fine, thankfully. Decided to look up the number and stumbled upon this site. It really baffles me why folks choose to scam others like this.

They called but didn’t say anything, and since I was busy, I couldn’t pick up. I usually never return calls from unknown numbers unless there’s a voicemail left because I just assume it’s some kind of scam.

This place is total scam, honestly! I’d recommend telling TPS and ICO about them so they can shut these scammers down before more folks get caught up in their tricks. Don’t let them get away with it.

Got a phone call from a polite bloke claiming to be from "Independent Seniors," saying they'd give a free falls pendant. I asked him where he got my number from - it’s actually my mum’s, who’s quite old. He didn’t really reply but tried to ask if we’d recently bought walking sticks or anything like that. Honestly, sounds like some dodgy scam aimed at older folks to me.

Got a call from John once more. It was the usual spiel about those medical alert pendants. I told him I’m not interested in any medical alert stuff or even driveways - he’s rung me up a couple of times about driveways too! Honestly, so annoying.

Got a call from some bloke saying I could get a free emergency pendant, asked if I was over 50 and whether I needed a cane or a Zimmer frame. I asked where he got my number from, since it was my landline and I never share it. He just kept saying he was given the numbers to call. When I kept pressing him for answers, he just said thanks and ended the call.

Some bloke called himself John and started asking if my nan used a zimmerframe or a walking stick, then went on about any health problems. He tried to give us a free pendant, but it felt dodgy. I told him we needed to have a chat about it and then I ended the call. Smells like a scam to me.

Totally a dodgy medical scam. Some bloke called 'John' claiming to be from a medical alert service. Proper rude, kept going over the same stuff like I couldn’t hear him, asked straight away if I’m above 50. When I asked if they bothered to check the phone preference list (they’re meant to, it’s the law, and we’re registered so no calls should come through), he just hung up on me right away.

I got a phone call from a bloke saying that someone with my name needs medical assistance. He said I could get a free alert or alarm gadget. When I asked about it, he said it’s a service aimed at folks over 50 with health or mobility problems. Even though I’m well past 50, I told him I’m fit and have no health issues, and my doctor knows all about it. The guy was quite polite and quickly said goodbye before hanging up.

Got a call from a bloke called John down in Dorset about some free medical alert pendant. I asked him a few times what age you had to be to get it, but after asking he just went quiet for a moment then repeated his spiel. Suddenly, a different voice came on, sounding like it wasn’t recorded, saying he wasn’t sure and would need to check with his manager. I just told them cheers and hung up then.

I got a call from a bloke called John, sounded like the usual routine. He asked me if I use a cane or have some health issues but couldn’t explain where he got my info from. He said he was contacting me because apparently I’m eligible for a medical alert device. Funny thing is, he didn’t even know my name, which seems odd if this was genuine.

This number has rung me twice now. At first, it’s tricky to notice, but it’s actually not a person on the line - just some pre-recorded message that seems to respond to what you say. Thankfully, I caught on before they started asking for banking info like some others mentioned. Definitely don’t give out any details and just block it asap, folks!

Got a call from someone called Adam claiming we could get a free walking frame, stick, and some kind of emergency pendant. I asked him how we qualified, and he just said we were on some list, but wouldn’t say which one. I told him we're fit and fine, didn't need any of it, and then he just ended the call. Seems to me he’s trying to get you to sign up for that pendant, but of course, there’s a catch - you probably have to pay a monthly fee for the monitoring via card or bank debit. Typical!

Got a call from someone offering a free medical alert pendant, sounded like a decent idea at first. But then they started asking for bank info and warned me about charges of almost £40 every month. Be careful, it’s not really free and the device doesn’t even seem to do what it says. Definitely avoid signing up for it!
