2 yearsWe’re on the TPS list, so it's odd this number managed to ring us. Blocked it straight away.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot called a couple times today about solar panels. When I asked the lady, Jane was her name, which address she meant, she couldn’t tell me and just hung up. I’ve blocked this number now!Jane2 yearsEvery time I pick up this number, there’s this annoying buzzing noise that lasts a few seconds before anyone even speaks. Then, some man with an Indian or Pakistani accent starts chatting, but I honestly can’t understand what he’s saying. I usually hang up straight away cause it makes no sense to keep listening.2 yearsThis bloke was pretty dodgy, said he worked in healthcare, claimed I fit the age and had some health probs so I’d be a good candidate for some kinda phone service. When I asked more questions, he just went back to repeating the same lines like a tape. Total scam in my opinion.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I had a health issue, but they wouldn’t say what it was or how they found out about it. Felt like a total scam to me.2 yearsHavent had a random call from the so called "Scamchester" area in ages, but just got one that went straight to my voicemail. Some bloke said "Ermmm" and then just put the phone down. Like others have said, ive blocked the number now.Scamchester2 yearsI got a call from some dodgy bloke trying to sell me those alarm pendant things. Sounded like a total scam to me.2 yearsGot a call on my home phone around 10 in the morning. Didn’t pick up since the number wasn’t familiar. There was a voicemail left, which said something like, "Hi it’s Sam, I work locally in the health sector for your area. Just checking in to see how you’re doing." Then the caller just hung up.Sam2 yearsGot a call earlier today, 30th July around 5.20pm from this number 01618439485. The bloke claimed to be some kind of healthcare worker local to me and said he knew about my health issues. He was trying to get me to accept a free medical alert device. I asked him how he got my medical info but he wouldn't say and just kept going with some scripted spiel. When I asked for a number to call him back on, he just ended the call straight away! Quite suspicious if you ask me.2 yearsSomeone called trying to give me a free medical gadget, but I just said no thanks and ended the call.2 yearsGot a call that began with “are you there?”, the guy said he was Sam from some “medical alert pendant firm,” telling me I’d been picked for a free pendant. When I asked where he found my number, he dodged the question and kept saying the pendant was free. Pressed him again about how he got my details, and he claimed it was from a medical company. When I asked who he really was, he just hung up. Pretty sure it’s a total scam.Sam2 yearsGot a call from this number saying they were some sort of health worker nearby. I’m not even in Manchester though, so I just hung up straight away. Seems like a total scam to me.Manchester2 yearsJust like others have said, this was a complete rip-off. The guy kept going through the same spiel over and over, even after I told him to stop. Ended up telling him to get lost. Honestly, it could’ve turned out worse than that.2 yearsI'm from the East Midlands myself. I got home around 1.40pm and as I was about to go inside, the phone started ringing. I just picked it up in time before it switched to the answerphone. I tried to listen but all that came through was some bloke shouting #### before he abruptly disconnected. Reading the other stories here, I reckon I dodged a bullet with that call.East Midlands2 yearsGot a call from what sounded like an automated system pushing some kind of personal alarm button. Definitely felt like a robot on the line.2 yearsIt sounds like there's an actual person speaking, but it's really just a machine on the other end. It repeatedly mentions a poor connection, which seems to be a way to dodge any questions you try asking. Best thing is to just end the call. Definitely a scam.2 yearsGot a call around 1:40 this afternoon from someone claiming to be Sam, supposedly ringing from my nearby health clinic. He wanted info about my medical issues, which I refused to share. Clearly, just another disgusting scammer. I cut him off straight away and blocked the number. I bet these fraudsters have endless phone lists to target people, so especially watch out if you’re an older person.Sam2 yearsGot a voicemail saying something like, 'this is Sam from your nearby health clinic...' then the call just dropped. Earlier in the day, I got a phone call from a different number but when I looked it up on Who Called Me, it was apparently the same health clinic.Sam2 yearsGot a call earlier today from this number, seemed like they were trying to trick older people. They spoke really quickly, like they were just reading off something. Felt like they weren't actually having a conversation, just rattling off lines at me. Totally dodgy, for sure a SCAM. Best thing is to block it straight away.2 yearsI work in healthcare around here and got a call from someone like the others. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away. We’re on the TPS list too!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsEven though I’m registered on the TPS, I still get a fair few annoying calls on my mobile. It seems like the amount of unwanted calls getting blocked is going down over time rather than up. Nothing seems to completely stop them these days!TPS2 yearsGot a call from this number but as soon as I answered, they just ended it. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.2 yearsIt was pretty clear he got flustered when I told him to be quick since I was cooking at the time. Made me chuckle. As soon as I saw the number on my phone, I knew he wasn’t really “Sam from local healthcare”. He didn’t take kindly to me questioning him either. These calls are not just irritating, especially when you're expecting an important call from the hospital, but they’re also risky because people might end up believing whatever scam they’re pushing.Sam2 yearsI called back but no answer, what’s the point of ringing if there’s noone to pick up? 01618439485 seems pointless.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be in healthcare, telling me I should have a medical alert pendant. I told them I didn’t want one and they were quite polite about it, saying they respected my choice before hanging up. Definitely felt like a scam to me though.2 yearsSounds like they got their hands on a bunch of medical patients’ info and are pushing those emergency alarm buttons or wearable devices. If you catch my drift, you can probably guess the brand they’re hawking. The call was really noisy, so I reckon it came from some call centre. The person spoke English but was way too pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I’d avoid giving them any personal info. Feels like harassment and quite worrying for folks who might already be struggling.2 yearsI picked up and the person just kept saying, "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" like three times straight. Then they just hung up. Weird!2 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call today from a chap named Sam, who described himself as a 'health worker'. He was promoting some sort of complimentary pendant or bracelet alarm that supposedly only set one back £1.70 daily, just in case I happened to take a tumble. Rather oddly, he wanted me to verify that I was over the age of 60. I had a hunch this was nothing more than a health scam, as I’d heard similar reports from others. So, I politely declined the offer and ended the call.Sam2 yearsSome bloke called, said he was Dan and worked in health care nearby. Just a heads up, don't bother with these lot - best to just end the call straight away.Dan2 yearsSomeone rang me up and just kept asking if I could hear them, with a load of noise in the background. I ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away. I’m on the TPS list too, so it was a bit of a shock to get a call like that.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsDefinitely a scam, don’t trust this number!2 yearsFirst thing I heard was, "Can you hear me?" Totally a scam, no doubt about it...2 yearsGot a call from Sam, said he was from some health service near my place, but he had no clue about the area. Kept pushing me to answer with just yes or no, which felt odd. Ended up blocking him. Pretty sketchy if you ask me.Sam2 yearsThey say they're some sort of healthcare service for vulnerable folks, but we've quickly spotted the scam. It's really worrying, cos if others fall for it, it could cause real harm.2 yearsSomebody rang me from a Manchester code, which made me a bit wary right from the start. They claimed I was eligible for a free pendant because of a long-standing health issue - which I dont have. When I asked them who they were, they just hung up straight away. Seems like a total scam to me.Manchester2 yearsHad a bloke ring up selling shower alarm pendants. I told him we weren’t interested, but he kept insisting he’d post one out and we could return it if we fancied. Made it clear we didn’t want it and asked him not to bother sending anything. Around here, we don’t mess about with cold callers, no matter what. So yeah, that number’s definitely blocked now.2 yearsGot a call from someone pushing pendant alarms, sounded really pushy and kept saying they’d just send one over to me no matter what. Felt pretty scammy to me.2 yearsThey were tryin to get my bank info sayin it was for some health care thing that only cost a quid a week.2 yearsTotal rip off!2 yearsGave the number a ring, but there was nothing on the other end.2 yearsI've received calls from the number 01618439485. As a senior citizen, I answered the call, but there was complete silence on the other end. After a moment of waiting, I simply hung up.2 yearsGot two calls from this number, first time it just went to voicemail with no message. The second call was some weird scam about health issues, so I told them to shove off. Can’t even tell if it was a bot or a person though.2 yearsGot a call around lunch and there was just some weird, muffled noise with no clear message at all. If it’s supposed to be about a health issue, then whoever it is really needs help. Honestly, this is just someone messing about and wasting people’s time. Proper annoying!2 yearsHad a call today from one of those dodgy automated messages trying to sell some kind of medical alert pendant, saying I had a “health issue.” It was one of those annoying scams fishing for my details. Honestly, why do these pests keep getting away with it? Hung up pretty sharpish before it could drivel on any more!2 yearsThis number just rang me up, some bloke with an English accent asked if I could hear him. I kept replying with hello but he went on saying that he’d heard I’ve got health issues and that I qualify for some kind of health alarm. I tried to say cheers, didn’t realise I was unwell, but I couldn’t really get a word in edgeways. He kept talking over me, felt like a recorded message or something dodgy. Definitely felt a bit sketchy and like a scam to me.2 yearsJust like what others have said before me.2 yearsGot a call about a "free trial" for a personal alarm thing, sounds like one of those health care scams. The person said something like "I know you have health issues," but I didn’t bother chatting and just hung up straight away.2 yearsI think I just got caught up in some Health Care scam. Wasn’t expecting it at all. Definitely watch out for stuff like that!Health2 yearsGot a call from this number, a bloke just said hello then went quiet. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.2 yearsGot a call from someone pushing a medical alert button. I wasn't having it and told him where to go. Ended up with him just hanging up on me.2 yearsGot a call with no one speaking, then it just disconnected once I let it go to voicemail.2 yearsI keep getting calls from this number but they never leave a voicemail or anything. It's just ringing and hanging up every time.2 yearsThis is the second time I’ve gotten a call from these scammers targeting the elderly. Total waste of time reporting to TPS, they never seem to do anything. Honestly, it’s just another example of how the older generation keeps getting conned by these lowlife scammers.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a ring from someone claiming to be my local health nurse sayin I was eligible for a free alarm pendant since of my age. Then they said it’d cost just over a quid a day, but when I said goodbye, they kept pushin me to give more details or try to sell me something. I was straight away a bit iffy because all local health calls in Edinburgh usually come from 0131 numbers, not 0161 ones. These scammers are clearly messing about, trying to scare older folks into falling for their tricks.Edinburgh2 yearsThis bloke said he was from local healthcare and insisted we were eligible for some kind of care alarm deal. When I asked for details about who he actually was, he got all awkward and just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam to me, but makes me wonder if this is connected to that recent NHS data leak.NHS2 yearsI got a call from a Manchester number, and when I answered with a simple hello, the person just stayed silent and then abruptly ended the call. It felt a bit dodgy, especially since I’m not even close to that area.Manchester2 yearsGot another call this week from someone named "Will" claiming to be a health officer for our region. I told him about the TPS on the first call, but he still called again. Total rubbish, surely.WillTelephone Preference Service2 yearsHonestly, just hang up right away and if possible, block that number so it doesn't bother you again.2 yearsI just received a call from this number claiming to be from some health company. They told me I apparently qualified for certain health pendants. I asked them how they got my details, and they said it was because I’m either over 70 or have a heart problem. When I pressed them again asking where exactly they got that info so I could correct it, since neither is true, they just said “alright” and then ended the call. Never had a call like this before, quite odd.2 yearsI just ignore it completely and pray they don’t ring back.2 yearsJust got a call from this number, another one of those dodgy scammers going around. They didn’t even bother leaving a message, so clearly not worth my time. I’d say it’s best not to pick up, might just be one of those risky calls. Definitely give it a miss.2 yearsI think it was some kind of answering machine. Every question I answered "no" to, but it just kept on repeating itself. After a while it went quiet, so I just ended the call. It was talking about new laws that might leave estates unprotected or something like that.2 yearsThey rang at about ten fifty, but I didn’t manage to pick up quick enough and they ended the call right before my voicemail even kicked in.2 yearsI got a call about estate protection, but they refused to actually answer anything I asked. Feels like one of those dodgy scams just trying to grab your personal info. Definitely wouldn’t trust it.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Estate Planning Services for homeowners. Felt like a spam call to me. If they start being too persistent, best just to hang up.Estate Planning ServicesSubmit Your Own Report (0161 843 9485)
