01618439482 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618439482 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance mostly linked to scams involving medical alert pendants. Callers often claim to be local health workers, using scripted, robotic voices, and frequently ask if you can hear them to capture your voice. Many who answered experienced silence or aggressive sales pitches with no clear company information given. Despite many being registered with the TPS, calls persist, sometimes with similar numbers making repeated attempts. Some callers pretend to be from local health teams or offer emergency fall pendants for elderly or vulnerable people, often using pressure tactics or misinformation about health conditions. Calls are generally unwanted, leaving no messages, and many users have blocked the number due to its repeated nuisance and suspected scams.

I've received calls three times this week from a number that's nearly identical, only the last 4 digits are different. They never left a voicemail either.

Got a ring from 01618439482 and asked them how they got my number as I’m ex-directory. They quickly switched to trying to sell me stuff, so I just ended the call. Not a chance they were gonna tell me where they found my details.

Definitely a con, someone left a message on my voicemail about selling some kind of medical alert device. Quite strange how they managed to get hold of my number since I’m on the TPS and my details aren’t listed anywhere. Best to steer clear of this one!

I saw this kind of scam on Facebook before and it actually happened to me today. The guy asked if I could hear him alright, which I reckon was him trying to grab my voice. I was just like, “Huh?” and then he hung up straight away.

I picked up the phone and some bloke with a British accent asked, "Hello, can you hear me?" Without thinking, I said "Yeah," then he introduced himself as Sam, claiming to be from my local health services or something like that. Didn't take long before I ended the call. Should’ve known better than to say "Yeah" straight away - apparently they can use that to record your voice. I’m on the TPS list, but honestly, it feels like it’s done bugger all to stop these calls over the years.

I got a call marked as Nuisance? Figured I’d answer it. A bloke came on right away asking “Hello, can you hear me?” I reckon these scam folks try to catch you saying YES on tape, so I just made a noise instead lol. After that, nothing but silence for like over a minute. Then the caller just dropped the line.

Got a call about some medical sensor which felt like one of those robocalls - they couldn’t stop following the same script. Honestly, I just hung up straight away. It worries me thinking how easy it could be for more vulnerable folks to get caught out by these scams.

Got a call from this number earlier, a young bloke who was obviously following a script word for word. Didn’t mention the company he was calling from, which is usually a red flag for dodgy calls. He was trying to pitch some kind of personal emergency alarm. Once I realised what was going on, I had to raise my voice just to get a word in. Told him I’m a nurse and already get these alarms free if I need them, then ended the call. If they come back, I’ll probably ask loads of questions about how the device works and where the base unit is, just to mess them about.

This number just rang me up. The bloke kept saying his name was Sam and mentioned he's with SOS, based in Dorset but apparently they cover the whole country. I asked if he was cold calling, but the only reply I got was him repeating his name. I gave in after a while, couldn't get any proper info from him. I'm on the TPS and yet these annoying calls still keep coming through.

I got a call from someone claiming to be a local health service offering a free emergency fall pendant. Thing is, the number they called from was based in Manchester, which is about 150 miles from me. I cut them off pretty quickly since they didn’t say any company name, just kept trying to sell. So yeah, I ended the call there.

I got a call from a guy named Sam saying he was my local health advisor. He told me I supposedly have some health issues and pushed me to get this health alert button. It was so fake, he just kept reading off a script with no real chat at all. Feels like a total scam to me.

Just like loads of people here, I got a ring from some bloke called Sam, who said he was my "local healthcare advisor." He reckoned I had health problems, which I definitely don’t, and insisted I needed one of those pendant alarms. He wouldn’t stop chatting and kept butting in while I tried to cut him off. In the end, I had to just hang up because I couldn’t get a single word in!

The caller sounded like a bloke from England at first... but here’s the catch, it was all on autopilot. There’s this weird pause after you say something before it jumps in with another question. I kept trying to tell it I wanted to chat with a manager, but it clearly didn’t get the memo. Apparently, my first name got recorded as “Can you speak English” and my last name ended up being “you daft idiot.” As if I’m daft enough to get caught out by this rubbish!

Got a call from a bloke with a plain voice, no noticeable accent, pushing some kind of pendant alarm. He wrongly assumed I was an older person with health problems and kept trying to get me to agree to it! Whenever I asked for his name and the company he was working for, he just sailed past it and went right back to the pendant sales pitch. I told him to stop sticking to his script and actually answer me, but he ignored me. After I kept pressing, he finally gave up and hung up.

I got a message with just one single word, pretty clear the caller was stuck on another call at some call centre and forgot to hang up. My answer machine picked it up for me. BT labelled it as one of those annoying nuisance calls.

This bloke called me saying his name was Sam and he was from “my local health team.” He sounded quite polite and like he was from around here. He mentioned that I’d been flagged as someone who might need a medi-alert pendant because of health concerns. When I asked him to tell me my name, just to check he was for real, he just buzzed off. Sounds a bit fishy if you ask me.

Weird call from a bloke with a Northern accent, but he kept pausing for ages like he forgot what to say next. When I mentioned it, he just said “I completely respect your choice, have a good one” and then ended the call. Definitely sounded like a dodgy sales pitch or something fishy going on.

Got a call today at about 1:05pm on my home phone here in Dorset from a bloke with a posh English accent. He said they got my details from some list and that I’m apparently unwell (which I definitely am not), plus they reckoned I’m over 70 (not true either). He offered medical gear that I could supposedly return later. I cut the chat quickly and didn’t give them any info.
