01618439481 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01618439481 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance, commonly linked to aggressive sales tactics for medical alert pendants purportedly offered free but with hidden weekly charges. Callers often claim to be local healthcare workers, using generic or distant area codes, and sometimes employ automated or AI-driven scripts that do not engage genuinely with recipients. Many describe these calls as scams, highlighting that personal health information is used misleadingly, which raises concerns about targeting vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly. The calls frequently ignore requests for identity or company details and hang up when questioned. Despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, users experience repeated calls with no legitimate messages left, leading many to block the number and warn others to avoid sharing personal or financial information.
Reports on phone number 01618439481
2 yearsJust got a call from 01618439481 claiming to be from Windows and Doors Ltd. They said they wanted to replace my windows and doors at no cost, but then asked for my address and an insurance payment first. If it’s really free, why the payment? Seems like a scam to me. These crooks are getting more bold. I worry about folks over 55 who might fall for this and end up losing money or worse, their home if they hand over personal details. Stay safe everyone!Windows andDoors Limited2 yearsPhone just cut off as soon as the ansafone started. Didn’t bother leaving any message.2 yearsThey claimed to be from an energy provider, but I could tell straight away it was a scam. Told them to do one!2 yearsThis number called me a couple of times before ten this morning. The first time, our answer machine got it and then when we tried to say hello, the person had already hung up. No message was left, but the number showed up on the display. They've called a few times before, so it’s probably some kind of scam. Getting repeated calls like this is really annoying and feels like harassment.2 yearsThis number just rang me up but it wasn’t about any medical stuff, they said I could get solar panels free of charge. When I told them I didn’t own the house, they hung up straight away. Guess they can fib, so can I.2 yearsGot a call from a polite young man on this number, he said he was offering a safety gadget that could notify emergency services if I fell at home. He kept asking for my exact age and then my first name. He even offered a second device for a family member, claiming it wouldn’t cost anything upfront. But then he mentioned a weekly fee of £1.30 for each device. I had a feeling he was about to ask for my bank info, so I ended the call, suspecting it was a scam.2 yearsHad a call from someone called Sam about a medical alarm supposedly linked to me, costing just £1.70 a day. Funny thing is, he couldn’t tell me my name even though apparently I was on some referral list. When I started asking questions, he just ended the call. Bit fishy if you ask me.Sam2 yearsThey said I could get a free medical alert but I just ended the call straightaway - total scam!2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam claiming to be a health professional, telling me I had some sort of medical issue - which I don’t, by the way. They tried to offer me a “free” medical alert button. The whole thing seemed fishy and clearly recorded because even when I tried to respond, their voice just kept going. I ended up just hanging up.Sam2 yearsThe call started suddenly with "Hello, are you there?" then nothing else... just silence. It was obviously some sort of automated message hoping I'd respond to connect with an operator, but in my experience, there wasn't even anyone on the other end - just quiet.2 yearsA guy called saying he was Sam, working in healthcare nearby, but the number showed as Manchester, which is like 250 miles off from where I live. I told him we’re on the TPS list, and he said he understood and just wished me a nice day before hanging up.SamManchesterTelephone Preference Service2 yearsIt was awful, had me worried sick since my mum wears an emergency alert and I feared the worst. These callers ought to be shut down for good.2 yearsOn the 30th of July, 2024, at half eleven in the morning, I received a call from a polished English gentleman purporting to be from a local health service. He mentioned that I had been selected to receive a generous 30% discount on a medical pendant. However, it quickly became apparent that it was a ruse, as he couldn't provide any answers to my queries about basic details like my name, age, or where I live. I decided to cut the conversation short and hang up. Total nonsense!2 yearsComplete scam alert! They claim I don’t have a medical alert button on file, which is rubbish because I definitely do. The voice sounds British but it’s clearly a recording - way too many awkward silences between sentences give it away. Don’t fall for it!2 yearsSome bloke rang up saying he was a healthcare worker from near me, but he was miles off. Started going on about me having health issues and needing some kind of emergency button to push if I fell over. Total rubbish if you ask me.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they knew about my health issues and said I could get an emergency alert button. Tried asking more but they just ended the call straight away.2 yearsPicked up the phone and heard someone say, “Hi, I’m Sam, your local healthcare provider, hope you’re having a good day?” I replied, telling him I wasn’t really expecting this sort of call. He just said the same thing again. I told him I wasn’t sure if he was even real, but if he was, to ring me back. Never got another call after that.Sam2 yearsSomeone rang our business number claiming to be a local representative. I asked him how near he was to Peterborough. Instead of answering, he just kept going with his usual pitch. When I mentioned this was a business line, not a home, he just said alright and ignored it, carrying on anyway. I ended the call there.Peterborough2 yearsGot a call on the landline today around 1.13pm from 01618439481. The bloke claimed he was a local medical rep from NH Trust. I asked what he meant by local, since we’re nowhere near Manchester, but he just went silent. He kept going on about some emergency pendant and didn’t answer any of my questions. Then he said he needed help - I told him no, he was the one who needed help and hung up. Looks like a sales pitch. This number’s popped up off and on before at odd times.NH TrustManchester2 yearsI got a call from this number, and the bloke said he was with some National Health Trust or sumthin like that. At first, I figured it was the NHS or something official, so I answered with a "Yes, speaking?" but then there was just silence. I tried again, "Hello? Where're you calling from?" He repeated the National Health Trust bit and then asked if I needed a medical emergency or something. It all felt a bit off, so I just hung up.National Health TrustNHS2 yearsSpoke to this AI called "Tom" the other day, but it was clear it’s just guessing what I’m saying and pushing its sales spiel non-stop. Doesn’t really pay attention at all. Feels like a complete con.Tom2 yearsDidnt say a word just ended the call, total scam if you ask me.2 yearsGot a call earlier from an Aberdeen number in Scotland, but it didn't ring for very long. Since they didn't leave a message and I didn't recognise the number, I just blocked it straight away.AberdeenScotland2 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was "Sam, your local healthcare worker". He seemed really casual and cheerful so I thought it was a bit dodgy. I kept quiet, didn’t say a word, and after a moment he just ended the call. Honestly, stay sharp with calls like this. Don’t trust anyone claiming to be "Sam" (definitely not his proper name) or his mates. They’ll try to push some expensive rubbish you don’t need. Don’t give them anything to work with. Best just to put the phone down. These con artists are absolute rubbish.Sam2 yearsSomeone rang me, purporting to be a health professional from the area, attempting to peddle a lifeline device.2 yearsThis dude said he was Steve from some health service around here. When I asked him for more details, he just said sorry for ringing me and then cut the call. Weirdly quick exit!Steve2 yearsThis isn’t the first time I’ve had one of these calls. When I pick up, there’s a bit of silence before some robot or AI voice asks, “Can you hear me alright?” Seriously, don't ever say yes! It’s a trick they use in scams and by some banks, where they rely on voice recognition. If you say yes, they might use that recording to get past security checks. Be careful!2 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be a health professional and said they knew about my medical problems. They kept pushing me to get this 'free' personal alarm, but it actually costs £1.70 every day! I asked him three times where he was working from, but he totally avoided answering. Also, he asked if I really needed protection, like I was some sort of vulnerable person. Honestly, the only protection I want is from people like him!2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t know, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Since I’m signed up with the TPS, I just assume calls like that are dodgy.2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from someone saying they were a local health worker, but the number didn’t even have the right area code for around here. I hung up straight away, looked up the number online, and decided to block it after that.2 yearsGot a call out of the blue warning me about some supposed health danger.2 yearsGot two calls from this number but decided not to pick up.2 yearsSo this bloke, Sam, who says he’s a healthcare guy from around here, was ringing me about lifeline pendant alarms. Proper pushy about it. He kept saying it’s free but then mentioned some daily fees and that they’d post the gear over. I ended up just cutting the call.Sam2 yearsI picked up with my usual "Hello" (I never give my name out) and there was just silence for a bit before they just cut the line. Looked it up afterwards and saw it’s a known scam number, so I’ve blocked it now. Honestly, why is the TPS completely useless at stopping these calls? Feels like they’re about as effective as a chocolate teacup.TPS2 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was a health worker nearby, tried to sell us a free alert pendant due to a supposed health problem. We’re signed up with the TPS, but clearly these types just ignore that.2 yearsThe caller didn't leave any message, so I just ended up deleting the call.2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they knew about a health issue I supposedly had (which is completely untrue) and then pushed me to buy some kind of personal alarm device.2 yearsThey called me about some alert pendants and seemed to know a lot about the health issues of folks living here, which I really hope wasn’t legit. Feels like it could’ve been a dodgy scam to me.2 yearsWhat a load of wankers!2 yearsGot about 13 calls from this number just yesterday. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be 'your local health service'. They mentioned my wife's medical background and kept trying to sell those alarm pendants. It felt like an automated call since he wouldn’t let me get a word in and didn’t tell me the name of the company when I asked.2 yearsSome scammer flagged it as fraud, bit cheeky if you ask me, probably got nowt better to do. Tried the automated voice thingy but he just jabbered on and on with no pause.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam, apparently a care or health worker. Thing is, they rang me from a Manchester number, and I’m down here in the South East, so hardly local at all. Seriously, can’t they get a proper job instead of trying to scam vulnerable folks? Honestly, they deserve all the worst.SamManchesterSouth East2 yearsThey claimed to be some kind of health care business and said I could get a free pendant for use if I fall or something like that. I told the guy I wasn’t interested.2 yearsThey never even bothered to leave a voicemail, so I’m guessing they’re not really interested in having a proper chat. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsCan't stand these annoying calls, they’re driving me mad!2 yearsI didnt pick up, it just went straight to my voicemail and they didn’t leave anything. Bit fishy if you ask me.2 yearsThis caller is definitely not a native English speaker and seems to be up to no good.2 yearsGot a call on my work direct line from 0161 8439481. I reckon it's a scam or something dodgy cause when I picked up, all I got was silence and then it just ended the call. Must have just dialled my number by chance.2 yearsWe had this bloke ring us up with a funny accent, trying to push some dodgy bargain. I asked him, "So what’s this thing you’re selling then?" I thought maybe he was trying to sneak some sort of spy gadget into our house or summat. But he just kept talking over me. When I asked again, louder this time, I ended up telling him to shut his mouth and then just cut the call.2 yearsIt really worries me how these callers might frighten vulnerable folks into thinking they’ve got health issues they don’t even know about. They claim to hold information on your medical conditions, but where on earth do they get that from? Honestly, I reckon there oughta be proper laws to crack down on these kinds of calls.2 yearsSome bloke called “Sam” said he was from local health services but when I asked who he wanted to talk to, he just dodged the question and kept rattling off his spiel. I asked a couple times who it was but he didn’t answer, so I just ended the call.Sam2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were my "local" health coordinator, but the number wasn’t from around here, so I was suspicious right off. They were pushing a health alert bracelet, but wouldn’t answer any of my questions and sounded like they were just reading a script. The caller was really snappy and had a terrible attitude. Even if they were legit, I wouldn’t have bought anything. It was such an obvious scam it was almost laughable. What a complete MORON! SCAM SCAM SCAM2 yearsSome bloke said he was a local health worker, but when I asked why he was ringing me, he just ended the call. Pretty clear that was a scam.2 yearsI got a call from someone named Sam, said he was a health care worker but I’m pretty sure he’s not from around here, definitely no where near Manchester. He kept firing off all these questions about my health and I couldn’t even explain that I didn’t want to share anything. In the end, I just hung up on him.SamManchester2 yearsThis number called me and the recorded message was so slow it felt like it was struggling or waiting for me to say something. They said they were in health care nearby, but honestly, it sounds dodgy. I think they’re just pushing some health care badges or something weird like that. Not buying it!Sam2 yearsThe call lasted just a few seconds before they hung up, which makes me think they might be making a bunch of calls and as soon as one person picks up, they drop the others. Feels a bit dodgy, so I’d say best not to bother answering.2 yearsThere were these awkward silences before the guy spoke. He said his name was Sam and that he was doing a health survey in our neighbourhood. I gave the phone to my partner who’d just got out of hospital, thinking it was something important about him. Sam then said he’d respect whatever we decided and just ended the call. We were pretty confused after, so I called the number back and found out it was linked to some kind of alert system. We’ve blocked the number now, just in case.Sam2 yearsNo message left at all.2 yearsGot a call from this number at about 4:40pm today. The guy on the line claimed to be a medical consultant nearby and said my records indicated I had health issues. I asked him how he came by my details, then there was silence, so I just ended the call.2 yearsjust got a call from this number a couple minutes back but they ended it as soon as I picked up.2 yearsThey mentioned a free health screening but then wanted me to pay £1.78 each week.2 yearsI ended the call right after I answered with a quick "Hello."2 yearsGot a call from someone pushing a necklace that’s meant to alert medical help if you have a fall. They somehow guessed my age pretty spot on which was a bit unexpected, then started suggesting I might need this kind of help, even though I don’t. When I told him I wasn’t interested, there’d be this awkward silence before he kept probing with more questions I chose not to answer. The whole thing felt a bit off.2 yearsGot a call from someone named "Tom" claiming to work in healthcare nearby. I told him no way as Manchester is like 150 miles away from where I live, so he was definitely talking rubbish.TomManchester2 yearsI didn’t pick up the call since the number was unfamiliar and I thought it might be some kind of scam. After checking who it was from a UK site, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number. Cheers for the heads up!2 yearsGot a call from someone trying to push a medical alert pendant on me. I know a bit about those devices, but this caller obviously didn’t have a clue what they were on about. It was pretty clear they were just reading from a script without understanding it themselves.2 yearsGot a call from someone trying to sell a dodgy medical alert pendant, definitely a scam.2 yearsSomebody phoned me and claimed they had info saying I had certain health issues and tried pushing a medical alert pendant on me. I just laughed it off, telling them my mum already owns one and I'm not ancient yet. They ended up hanging up on me.2 yearsGot a call from a company that isn’t on the TPS register - total scam. I’ve blocked the number now.TPS2 yearsI got a call from some random number I didn't recognise and just let it ring out without picking up.Submit Your Own Report (0161 843 9481)
