If you or someone you know uses a Lifeline pendant or band, this number connects you straight to Staffordshire County Council. It’s definitely not a scam, just a way for them to check in and look after your family members. Plus, it only costs what a local call would.

I think this number is just another trick to get your bank info, probably a billing scam.

Just wanted to add to my earlier comment. This number actually belongs to the Stoke on Trent/Staffordshire lifeline service, which helps elderly and disabled people with emergency sensors. Whenever one of these sensors activates, it automatically dials this number so someone can come to help. Would it be possible to revise the charges to cover all landline calls? That way, people like my father-in-law, who has bed, door, fall, smoke and neck tag alarms, wouldn’t be hit with expensive fees every time a sensor goes off. It does get quite costly otherwise.

We never actually got a call, but this number keeps showing up on my father-in-law’s bill. He definitely hasn’t been making or taking these calls. When I dialled the number, it just sounded like random button noises. Has anyone found a way to block or stop it? So far, it’s cost him around £40. The poor bloke’s deaf, has dementia, and isn’t able to operate a phone properly.

My phone bill showed like 20 calls I never made, all on days when I wasn’t even in the house. Could’ve cost me a bomb!

My dad's phone bill kept showing this number over and over, but he never actually uses the landline.

There’s a number showing up on my phone bill, but I never even use my landline. Pretty sure it’s some sort of scam. Just a heads up to anyone else who spots a weird charge like this on their bill. Be careful!

not sure who this number belongs to but my phone bill shows ive been charged for 5 local and national calls and i hardly ever use my landline so it must be calls ive received that im paying for, which is really annoying. if this is some kind of scam, it really needs to be sorted out.

My mother-in-law in Newcastle-under-Lyme got several calls from 01782 265257. Checking the phone records, I noticed it rang her 8 times during July, including calls at 12:08am and 4:08am, which was quite unsettling. She’s 96 and has dementia, so it’s especially worrying as she kept trying to call the number back.

I keep gettin calls from 01782659257 but there's no ringing sound, just like someone mashing keys or buttons. Odd thing is, these calls dont come from my landline, yet the charges show up on my bill. Pretty weird if you ask me.
