This number rang me just the other day, but since I upgraded my phone to iOS 26, there's this new feature that asks callers to provide details before the call even goes through. This caller didn't leave any message or voicemail, which is odd because normally they drop a voicemail explaining the reason for the call. I'm pretty sure this is one of those scam calls.

My phone rang at 1.14 in the morning from this number. I was asleep and missed it, so I called back and got an automated message saying it was from Northern Care Alliance and that they had been trying to get in touch. They said if it was important they’d call again. My mum had died the night before, so maybe it was connected to that. Nobody ended up ringing me back though, seems a bit odd to call so late!

Some guy said he was from NHS North Manchester. I wouldn’t share any info over the phone because he seemed dodgy, and then he got all rude and just hung up, saying he’d taken me off their appointment list. Haven’t lived in Manchester for years, so obviously no hospital appointments for me. Didn’t have any when I lived there either. Kinda creepy they had my number and first name though. I called NHS North Manchester myself and they said they didn’t recognise the number. When they tried calling it, there was no answer. Feels like a proper scam to me.

Haven’t even been in Manchester for years, so no idea why they’d have me down for anything. Never had appointments there while I lived there either. The weird bit is they somehow had my first name and number. I called NHS North Manchester myself and they said nothing about that number. When they tried calling it back, it just went dead.

I reckon it's the hospital appointment team calling, but they need to let it ring longer than 3 times so I can actually pick up. As someone dealing with stroke and cancer, I’m a bit slow to get to the phone, you'd imagine they'd understand that considering why they’re ringing.
