2 yearsI gave them a ring and it turned out to be some solar panel sales. When I mentioned they were calling numbers on the TPS list, the lady on the other end got quite annoyed.2 yearsAppreciate the warning. I just ignored it and blocked the number straight away!!2 yearsThey hung up right when the voicemail picked up.2 yearsGot a call from some bloke, left a message on my ansaphone. Was just pure rubbish, swearing all over the place. Clearly not someone you'd want to chat with.2 yearsDefinitely a scam, the call felt dodgy from the start.2 yearsThey were pushy, reading straight off some script about a medical pendant and didn’t want to actually have a proper chat. Totally unhelpful.2 yearsLooks like a dodgy medical scam to me. Wouldn't trust that call one bit.2 yearsA bloke rang claiming he was from some health service. He said he already knew my age and all my health issues, then went on about this free trial for a health alarm that would last three months, including free delivery. When I asked how he got my private info, he tried to just keep talking over me with his sales spiel. But I kept insisting on an answer and then he just cut me off. Quite cheeky if you ask me.2 yearsThey didn't leave any voicemail or message, so probably a scam. Went ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsDidn’t get any message or clue who it was. No idea at all.2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from a bloke who said his name was Sam, talking about some medical stuff. I just ended the call straight away.Sam2 yearsThey kept asking if I could hear them. I reckon they just wanted me to say yes so they could record my voice or something.2 yearsSome bloke with a posh accent kept talking about medical alert pendants and didn't even let me get a word in. Not convinced it was someone genuine, pretty sure it was just another scam!2 yearsHe kept asking if I could hear him okay. When I replied, I wanted to know where he was calling me from. Then he said his name was "Sam" and that he worked in local healthcare. I tried asking him my name a few times, but he just stuck to his script and never answered. In the end, I just ended the call.Sam2 yearsThis number rang me up and asked for my name, then started trying to push some health care stuff on me. No idea where they got my number or how they even knew my name, pretty suspicious.2 yearsSomeone was calling me trying to push health products.2 yearsThey rang me earlier, but I ended the call as soon as they started talking. Pretty sure it was one of those scam calls.2 yearsGot a call round 11:45, which I reckon is usually scammers doing their thing. Picked up and there was nothing - just silence on the other end before they hung up. Typical scam move, if you ask me!2 yearsReceived a call around 12:18 earlier today. A person named Sam, who claimed to be some kind of health worker in our neighbourhood, said we were at risk and qualified for a FREE security pendant. Sounds good, right? But there’s a catch - a daily monitoring charge of £1.80. I was stuck chatting with them for nearly 7 mins. It turns out it’s just an automated voice. Whether it’s a legit cold-calling robot or not, it feels really dodgy and probably a scam. Best steer clear.Sam2 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Sam trying to flog me a pendant. Definitely felt like a hard sell!2 yearsSome bloke called Sam rang me, claimed he was from health care. He kept going on about a Medic Alert button that’d cost me £1.95 a day. I told him I’d just get one through my GP instead, and then he just hung up on me.Sam2 yearsReceived a call from someone named 'Sam' - sounds like a robot to me, since when I told them firmly I wasn’t interested in a medical pendant, they just kept cutting me off. Probably just one of those annoying sales calls, but it worries me because they’re clearly after personal info and seem to be focusing on older folks. Bit of a worrying scam if you ask me.Sam2 yearsLike some others have said, this bloke called me claiming he was called Sam and worked in healthcare nearby. But the area code didn’t match where I live at all, so I just ended the call.Sam2 yearsGot a call from 01686639433 and this chatbot thing called "Sam" asked if I could hear him right away - that was a massive red flag. I replied "I can" (never say "yes" apparently), and next he claimed to be some health worker from my local area. He said his records showed I had some health problems and that I was eligible for a medical alert pendant. I tried to cut him off with a "goodbye scammer" but he just kept on talking, like it wasn’t even a real person responding. Blocked the number straight away.Sam2 yearsGot a call that was dead silence and it just ended after about 6 seconds. Pretty annoying.2 yearsI got one of these Emergency Pendant scam calls recently. The bloke on the phone was using a soundboard, and he had a proper British accent. He kept asking the same set of questions like they were scripted. When he asked for my postcode, I decided to ask which company he was calling for. Instead of answering, he just ignored me and asked for my postcode again. After I kept pushing for the company name, he just ended the call. Totally dodgy.2 yearsI got a call from someone named Sam, asked if I could hear him fine, which I did. He then mentioned he was some kind of health worker nearby. He kinda hinted if I had health issues, if I'd prefer being alone. Right there, I just said... whatever you’re offering, I’m not interested, then ended the call. I've blocked that number now.Sam2 yearsGot a call like this today, the guy never even told me his name, just asked if I could hear him okay. He went through the usual nonsense that others have mentioned here, but I told him everything he said was wrong. He kept talking over me the whole time, so I just hung up. Later I looked up the number and yep, it’s definitely a scam. Fingers crossed they can’t add anything dodgy to my phone bill (if that’s even possible).2 yearsGot another call from this bloke calling himself “Sam,” acting all posh and claiming he’s in healthcare around here. He mentioned it a couple times, so I asked what he wanted, but then I just ended the call. If you’re really in health care, shouldn’t you be better at chatting?Sam2 yearsGot a call from this number but hung up before it reached my voicemail.2 yearsSomeone called claiming to be a healthcare worker from nearby, saying they had a list which included us and we could get a medical alert pendant since we were supposedly over 70. I told him straight away we're not that old and my mum already has one through the proper service, so I’m quite familiar with how it all works. I even asked twice where they got the list from, but he wouldn’t answer and just kept rambling nonsense. I hung up on him. Honestly, these scammers need to stop bothering folks and find some honest employment.2 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the call just cut out. But after reading what folks said here, I’ll just block that number outright.2 yearsThe number looked unfamiliar, so I didn’t pick up. I guess it was a scam. It only rang for a couple of seconds before stopping.2 yearsGot a call yesterday from someone claiming to be Sam, a local health worker. He started talking about some health problems and said I qualified for a "free" pendant. I just told him it sounded like a scam and rubbish, then hung up straight away.Sam2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from healthcare, but they just wouldn’t stop chatting. Definitely felt like a scam to me.2 yearsThey kicked off by saying they have info on my health problems... Hold on a sec... How on earth do they know that? After I kept asking questions, they just hung up on me.2 yearsOn the 9th of July, 2024, I picked up a call and a man asked if I could hear him. I said yes, but then he just went silent. I told him to ring back when he’s ready to talk to someone, and then I ended the call. I’m definitely putting this number on my block list.2 yearsGot a call from this number a minute ago. I picked up and said hello, and the person on the other end asked if I could hear them. I said yes, but then all I heard was some awkward stammering like “err, yeah, umm, err...” so I just decided to block it!2 yearsThey've called our house three times already, twice last week and again today. They claimed the covid vaccination rollout has been handed over to private companies by the NHS. According to them, they got my info from the NHS but said I had to book and pay for my next jab because of a second wave coming. I told them there was no way I was paying since I’m fully vaccinated, and I demanded they delete all my info from their records and never ring me again. After that, I just ended the call.NHS2 yearsIt was a bit odd, took him a moment before saying anything, which made me suspicious straight away. Then he just asked if I could hear him, and abruptly ended the call. Definitely felt sketchy.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a health expert saying I qualify for a free emergency alert gadget. They obviously had no idea about my age or any health issues, so I knew straight away it was dodgy and just hung up.2 yearsGot a call but didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave any message either. Feels like a total scam to me, watch out!2 yearsThis morning has been full of weird landline calls from all sorts of different numbers. I picked up once, but the bloke on the other end just wouldn’t tell me his name or reason for calling, so I ended the call quick. None of the calls left a voice message either, so I’m guessing it wasn’t anything urgent or worth my time.2 yearsLike many have said before, it’s definitely one of those health care scams. Best thing to do? Just hang up and block the number if possible. That’s what I’m doing anyway.2 yearsI got a call from a blocked number and when I answered, they started offering this health pendant thing to wear on your neck. Then I saw they called me back from 02089342698. Felt a bit dodgy to me.2 yearsGot a call from some bloke named "Sam," who claimed to be a health consultant around my area. When I asked what he wanted, he just repeated his job title, like he forgot what he was supposed to say next. I pressed him why he was ringing, and he said he had info about me having some health problems - didn’t specify any - and that I needed some kind of “alert health pen.” I told him I didn’t know who he really was, wasn’t interested in buying any device, didn’t buy his story, and told him to stop calling before hanging up. Pretty clear scam. Blocked the number straight away.Sam2 yearsJust like what others are saying, it was clearly a pre-recorded voice. Sam never mentioned which company or group he was calling for.Sam2 yearsThis afternoon around half past twelve, I got a call from 01686639433. It was a young bloke with a typical English accent. At first, he was silent, then asked twice if I could hear him, sounding like he was checking something. I asked who was calling, but the line suddenly went dead as if busy, and the call ended. The same number has rung a couple of times before, and it’s definitely the same guy. I didn’t bother calling back.2 yearsThere wasn’t a single word said.2 yearsOnce again it was "Sam" calling. He wanted to offer me a free medical pendant because of my "medical history" and age, which he obviously guessed wrong. I told him I wasn’t interested and cut the call short, then blocked his number straight away.Sam2 yearsI've had calls from someone named "Sam" more than once now, but every time it’s a different phone number. He claims to have info about my medical records, which is totally nonsense. Even though I keep blocking the numbers, he manages to ring me again from somewhere else. I’m registered with the telephone preference service but still, these calls slip through. Guess I’ll be adding this new number to my blocked list too.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsI got a call from someone who said his name was Sam and that he worked in health. He kept going on about this pendant, same story I’ve heard from others apparently. When I asked him what company he was calling from, he just told me he’d send me the product anyway, so I just hung up.Sam2 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust it.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sam, a local health care worker or something like that. Turns out he wasn’t who he said he was. I don’t need any help like that anyway. He said because of my age, he was sending me some kind of emergency care package, even though he didn’t bother to ask how old I actually am. Then he mentioned a discount on some “freight charge.” When I asked him what the freight charge was, he just hung up on me. Sounds like a total scam to me.Sam2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a health worker nearby, but the number was from Wales, nowhere near me. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me, especially since he kept pushing me to register for some sort of emergency alert gadget. Seems like others have had the same experience.Wales2 yearsI got a phone call from someone claiming to be a 'health care expert' nearby. But the number was from Wales, so that didn’t add up. He kept going on about a safety alert gadget for medical emergencies, but I wasn’t having any of it and just hung up.WalesSubmit Your Own Report (01686 639433)
