Got a call from 01887827601 around 12.45 today. It went straight to voicemail and the guy claimed to be a healthcare worker from our local area. Thing is, the number’s actually from Scotland - 01887 - which is way far from where I live in Wiltshire. I also heard other voices chatting in the background, but he quickly ended the call before I could find out more. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from some annoying person pushing a healthcare pendant. I told him straight away that he’d got a business number and to take us off their list at once. He just wouldn’t stop talking, had to be quite firm with him. This number is a real pain and ought to be blocked ASAP. It’s quite scary for anyone vulnerable, especially with how pushy he was.

I received a rather peculiar call today. A chap on the other end claimed to be a medical representative for my locality and proceeded to inform me about some supposed health concerns I might have. To top it off, he was keen on offering me a complimentary alarm cord. I politely declined, stating that I had no need for it, and lo and behold, he simply cut the conversation short and hung up on me.

Some bloke called himself Sam, said he was a Health Care Worker near me and reckoned my records show I’m vulnerable with serious health issues I wasn’t even told about. He insisted I should have a medical alarm tag on me. Problem was, he couldn’t even say who he was supposed to be ringing. When I asked him, he just shut up and kept going on with his rehearsed spiel. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

Out of nowhere, I got a call from someone asking, "Can you hear me?" without saying who they were first. It seems like a sneaky way to figure out if the person picking up is older. The caller, who went by the name "Sam," definitely wasn’t a robot like some folks here said, but honestly, he wasn't very convincing. I really hope he manages to land a legit job and stays away from dodgy schemes.

Scam calls offering lifeline gadgets are going around, mostly targeting elderly or those who might need extra help. If you’ve got friends or family who are in that group, make sure they’re careful and don’t get tricked. Usually, things like lifeline devices are sorted out through health services or social workers, not random phone sales.

Claims to be a healthcare professional, stating that if you have any medical issues, you might qualify for additional assistance. When I probed about whether he was directly employed by the NHS, he faltered a bit. I even prompted him with a simple yes or no, and he eventually mentioned that he collaborates with NHS staff. I didn’t waste any time and hung up right then and there.

I got a call the other day and straight away asked what info they had on me. The person said their line manager handles it daily, but he sounded way too informed about my details. I flagged it as a data protection issue and told them off. They immediately promised to take my name off the list, then just hung up. This kind of call can be really risky for older folks who might not spot a scam. The caller spoke to me in a way that felt oddly familiar before mentioning some kind of help or aids they could offer. I didn’t share a thing with him, though.

On 23/6/24 around 3.50 pm, I was waiting for a really important call from our son, so this was super frustrating. It took me a good while to get up and reach the phone because of my mobility problems - probably took under 10 seconds. When I finally picked up and said “hello,” there was nothing but silence, then strange sounds, and the call ended abruptly. It’s beyond irritating, and honestly, it’s made me quite angry.
