01618439483 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618439483 👆 is reported as a nuisance and scam call, primarily targeting vulnerable individuals with false claims about medical conditions and offering health alert devices like panic buttons or medical pendants. Callers often pose as local healthcare workers using scripted pitches, frequently failing to answer questions about their identity or source of information, and may hang up abruptly if challenged. The number is associated with call spoofing, often from outside the recipient’s area, and is linked to various scams including energy and home improvement offers. Many recipients warn against answering, recommending blocking and reporting the number to official bodies such as the National Cyber Security Centre. Exercise caution, especially if claims about personal medical information or eligibility for subsidies are made unsolicited.

Just got a call from some energy register folks, felt more like a bother than anything harmful or annoying!
2 years
Absolutely not. It’s risky and definitely a con. When you get these calls, text 7726 right away and stick to their steps to make sure you file it properly. You can check the National Cyber Security Centre site, especially their PHISHING bit, for more details on how to deal with dodgy emails, texts or calls. Been seeing loads about solar panels, loft insulation, energy savings, and now thinking back, those panic alarm scams too - all coming from the same dodgy place, some sort of scam hub. Make sure to report these tricksters!

They hung up on me as soon as I refused to tell them my name. It was supposed to be about some free help for old people.

BT marked the number as a Nuisance Call, so I just ignored it. The caller didn’t leave any voicemail, which makes me think it was probably a scam since they never bother to leave messages. I’ve now put the number on my blocked list.

They told me I was on some kind of vulnerable health list and tried to sell me a medical pendant. When I asked where they got my number from, they just kept going on about having received a list, no proper answers. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Like others have said, this person rang me up saying they had details about a health problem I supposedly have and tried to sell me some panic button. I didn’t want to hear any more, just told them their info was completely incorrect and that it was clearly a scam, then I ended the call.

This number rang me up saying something about a medical alarm and asking if I’m over 60, which I’m not, I’m only 39. When I tried to find out who they were actually after, the bloke just kept chatting, probably just reading off a script, and didn’t answer any of my questions. He did mention paying a daily amount at one point, so I figured out pretty fast that it was a scam.

Got a call from this number today. Tried to explain I didn’t require a panic alert because of my situation, but they just wouldn’t stop chatting over me. When I tried to get a word in, they kept going, so I ended up hanging up. Honestly, don’t pick up if this number rings!

Had a call like that too, saying I was over 60 when I’m only 39. Asked them who they wanted but they just rattled on like it was some rehearsed spiel. Didn't buy it for a second. If they ring again I’m gonna start acting super weird - maybe that’ll put them off ringing me back.

I answered the phone, but nobody spoke on the other end. I’m guessing it’s one of those scams trying to verify if the landline is active. It was pretty annoying because I had to interrupt a meeting at work - being a carer for an elderly family member means I can’t just ignore calls, never sure who might need me.

This is totally a con, they use a robotic voice and try to trick people who might be easy to fool. Avoid it!

Got a call from someone saying they had a list of folks in my hometown over 70 with health issues and wanted to sell some kind of call system. My husband and sister had gotten the same call before, so I was ready for it. As soon as I asked where they got my number from, they just cut me off. By the way, I’m not even over 70!

Apparently the 0161 843 **** numbers aren’t meant to be assigned to anyone, according to Ofcom’s records. So if you've had a call from a number like that, there's a good chance it was someone faking where they were calling from.

Some bloke named Sam rang me up really nicely, trying to get me to buy some sort of panic button as he said it was for my “health condition.” I'm perfectly fine, so I’m guessing he was just reading off a script without expecting anyone to push back. Don’t these callers ever feel a bit guilty about what they’re doing?

Got a call from someone pushing a medical alert pendant, claiming it was because of some “health issues” I apparently have. When I asked where they got my info or what illness they were talking about, they just wouldn’t answer and kept rattling on with their sales pitch super fast. Then they abruptly hung up on me. Honestly, I’m so tired of these endless scam calls.

I've had a bloke named 'Sam' ring me up, claiming to be my community health advisor. This isn’t the first time either; he's called us a few times, always using different numbers. We're registered with TPS and our number isn’t listed anywhere. Really not sure who this guy is!

They claimed they’d looked through my health records and asked if I wanted a personal alarm. I told them if I needed anything like that, I’d speak to my doctor. This could be risky, especially for folks who are more vulnerable.

I got a call from someone who kept going over the exact same sales script again and again. When I asked if they knew my name or where I lived, they just ignored it and carried on with their sales spiel. Felt like a scam, probably aimed at older people. Eventually, the bloke just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone called Sam saying he was from a local health service offering some sort of medical alert. Seemed fishy to me since the number didn’t look local at all. When I asked for more info about his organisation or what kind of health pro he was, he dodged the questions completely. He didn’t even seem to know who he was trying to reach. When I told him my number’s on the Telephone Preference Service and he’s not allowed to call, he just talked over me. Later that day, he rang again, pretty much using the same spiel. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Felt like a scam trying to push some sort of medical alert gadget. Didn’t even use my name and, turns out, his “local area” is actually over 400 miles away. I just ended the call.
