01616761944 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01616761944 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation using this number to target individuals, particularly vulnerable or older people, with calls about so-called "medical alert" devices. The callers, often identifying as "Alex," solicit personal and health information under the guise of offering free medical alert pendants, but the calls frequently involve pressure tactics, dubious company claims, and refusals to disclose the origin of their contact lists. Many report rapid hang-ups when questioned, refusal to provide verifiable company details, or aggressive sales approaches. Separately, the same or linked numbers are implicated in intimidating automated calls falsely claiming to be from the National Crime Agency regarding suspended National Insurance numbers, aiming to provoke fear and potential fraud. Users are advised not to engage, avoid sharing personal information, and report the number to the Telephone Preference Service.

Had a chat with someone called John from Medical alert, who started asking me loads of personal stuff. I just made up rubbish answers like saying I'm 20 but got arthritis and heart problems. I reckon he worked out I was messing about, but I hope he realises he was taking the mick with my time too. Maybe if we all just keep these annoying spam callers going for ages, they might get the hint and quit bothering us.

A caller from "Medical Alert" rang me up and seemed eager to ask if I’m "over 65 years old." I told him to go ahead and ask. Then he wanted to know if I use a walker, and again I said it’s fine to ask. I decided to hit back with, "Are you familiar with the Telephone Preference Service?" Right after that, he said goodbye and ended the call.

Got a call from some medical alert place, they asked if I was older than 50 and if I used a walker or what I'd do if I fell. I told them I’m in good shape and don’t need any gear like that. After I said that, they just wished me a good day and hung up. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

I received a call claiming to be from Medical Alert, and they were rather pushy about signing up for a membership. After looking into it, I contacted the real charity, MedicAlert, only to discover there's no connection whatsoever. This is undoubtedly a scam, so steer clear! However, do have faith in MedicAlert - they’re a fantastic and truly life-saving charity!

A guy phoned asking how old I was and if I had any health problems, claiming I might qualify for a free alarm from Medical Alert. He wouldn’t say how they got my phone number. When I called the number back, it turned out to be Philitastica Marketing, saying it was about home insulation checks. I couldn’t find anything about that company anywhere, and it feels like a scam aimed at getting cash from people over 50. Stay well clear.

Got a call this morning from someone claiming I could qualify for a free medical alert system. He kept asking all sorts of stuff like my age, health problems and if I had trouble moving about, but I didn't share anything. When I asked where he got my number or info from, he just cut me off. Feels like a dodgy scam to me. Not sure if they're trying to rip me off, gather my info, or just check if I'm easy to fool. Either way, didn't trust it at all.

I had a similar encounter. A chap named Alex informed me that I qualified for a complimentary medical alert system. When I inquired about how he acquired my phone number, he mentioned that his manager provided him with a daily list of contacts to ring. I requested to chat with his manager, but he flatly declined. So, I ended the call and filed a complaint with the Telephone Preference Service.

When I tried calling the number back, it was answered by Philitastica Marketing, saying something about home insulation surveys. I can't seem to find any info on that firm anywhere, and it feels like one of those dodgy scams trying to con people over 50. Best to stay well clear.

But this time 'Alex' launched straight into some sales spiel about an SOS alarm because of my health, claiming it was free. I just ended the call.

I had a rather insistent chap on the phone, sounding quite posh, who was eager to peddle a medical alert gadget. Naturally, I inquired how he came upon my number. He stammered, claiming he was new to the job and hadn’t a clue. Pressed him again, and he stumbled over his words, finally muttering that his boss had handed it out. When I pressed one last time, he was at a complete loss for what to say. And just like that, the call was over.

He kept pressing me to answer loads of questions really quickly. When I slowed things down and questioned what exactly this was about, there was a long pause before he carried on asking. I asked straight out if this was a sales pitch and whether it was from a call centre - then he just cut me off. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.

I recently received a rather dodgy call regarding some medical alert pendant nonsense. Naturally, I decided to probe a bit-asking them where they had obtained my number, what my name was, and what email address they supposedly had on file. Oddly enough, just as I began questioning, it seemed like someone else was eavesdropping on the conversation before they abruptly hung up. Quite the peculiar experience, I must say!

A call came through from 01616761944 offering a free pendant alarm, claiming we qualified for it. We asked if they were from our local council, but they said they were a nationwide firm based in Dorset working with various councils. Since we already have a bracelet alarm, we told them we didn’t need another one. The polite chap then wished us a good day and ended the call. What puzzled us was seeing a Manchester area code on our landline, yet the caller said they were from Dorset! We've gone ahead and blocked the number both on our home phone and mobiles now.

I received a rather intrusive phone call from this number, where the caller was keen to sell me something they called a "Medical Alert Device." Quite frankly, if such a gadget is real, it sounds like it would just be a tool for invasion of privacy, monitoring one's every move. It’s most likely a scam, if I'm honest. I politely conveyed my disinterest, ended the call, and promptly blocked their number.

Received another call today, this time from someone named Alex. He went through the same routine, inquiring about my age and asking about a medical device. He claimed to be situated in Cornwall. I mentioned that my Apple Watch Series 7 has features like fall detection and can alert emergency services along with my location. However, he just carried on about his product without acknowledging what I said. It felt like a blatant sales pitch, so I decided to cut the conversation short. He was courteous enough, but it was clearly just a cold call.

It’s quite baffling how they switch their phone numbers almost on a weekly basis. Yet, the message remains unchanging: “Your national insurance number will soon be suspended.”

Beware of these con artists pretending to be from the National Crime Agency, they’re up to no good with their national insurance scams.

Received a call from 0161 676 1945 at 7:45 AM! I opted not to pick up since I didn’t recognise the number. It’s apparently a Manchester line. Given the feedback I've seen here, I’ve decided to block it.

Received a call that I instantly recognised as a scam. I engaged with the so-called “officer” on the line and requested that my number be taken off their list. She flatly refused and abruptly ended the call. How typical!

Got a phone call from a very clear, official-sounding voice claiming to be from the national crime agency. They said my national insurance number was gonna be suspended due to some fraud. I didn’t buy it, hung up straight away, blocked the number, and decided to report it here.

I tried calling back but the line was always busy. Saw this number called me earlier, then googled it and landed on this site. Pretty sure it’s just a scam. What a pain!

There was a pause, then some automated voice claimed they were calling from the national crime agency saying my national insurance was being suspended. I quickly ended the call and blocked the number to avoid ringing them back by mistake, which would likely have cost a fortune.

Received a call yesterday while I was chatting away on the phone. After about 15 seconds of silence, my device or service provider cut the line since I have call waiting activated. They didn't bother to leave a voicemail, so I assumed it wasn't too urgent. Curious, I looked up the number today and saw comments indicating it should be BLOCKED - appears it's a scam ringing all over the UK, including Scotland.

I've received calls from this number, as well as another that finishes with 1945. Both have been blocked, and they're clearly scams. A quick online search reveals that there's also a number ending in 1946 that's being circulated.

I received a call from this number, but I swiftly rejected it. Earlier today, I also had an incoming call from 01135214053, which I likewise turned down, as I’m still quite young and prioritise my safety. I made sure to block both of these numbers without delay.

This number has rung a few times on my work phone. When I tried to return the call, it just came up as disconnected. Pretty sure it’s spam, so I’ve just blocked it.
