2 yearsThis number has rung me twice now, but luckily I wasn’t in either time. They didn’t bother leaving any voicemail. I’m on the TPS list, so clearly that’s not stopping them at all.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsI let this one go to voicemail and honestly, no regrets. Straight onto the blocked numbers list it goes!2 yearsGot a call and it didn’t leave any voicemail. Reading the comments, I’m really relieved I didn’t pick up. I’d definitely tag this one as ‘Risky’. Joining the TPS doesn’t seem to stop these calls at all.TPS2 yearsDidn’t pick up and let it go to voicemail instead, but no message was left. After reading the reviews, I’m glad I ignored it. Seems like a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.2 yearsIt was a blocked number, so no message was left.2 yearsGot a call from 01917431656, nobody answering and then they just ended the call. Definitely one of those dodgy scam calls. I've blocked the number straight away.2 yearsThey didn't even bother to leave a message.2 yearsThey just rang and went straight to voicemail, didn’t bother leaving any message. Honestly, what a total waste of time and pathetic move - reminds me of something Shane used to say, RIP. Absolute rubbish!Shane2 yearsI received a call from 0191 743 1656. It rang and then went straight to voicemail, but they didn't bother leaving a message. What a right bunch of lowlifes!2 yearsSome bloke called me selling pictures of his mum, completely naked. Proper weird and creepy.2 yearsTotal rip-off, don’t trust this number!2 yearsGot called by someone pretending to be about medical issues - total scam likely.2 yearsThis guy called, said his name was Sam and he worked in healthcare nearby. He started asking if I had any falls recently or if I was diabetic, which I denied both times. Then he claimed I could get a free health alert pendant without paying anything. I told him I wasn’t interested, told him to stop calling, and ended the call.2 yearsOnce more, I got a call from scammers. Tried getting BT to help figure out who they were, but they were no help at all.BT2 yearsPicked up a call with no sound, so I've decided to block the number now.2 yearsThis morning, I received a call from a woman who introduced herself as Jane, claiming to be conducting a free survey on solar panels. Later on, another individual rang up and spoke to my wife. Like many, we have an interest in the topic but are eager to verify the legitimacy of the offer. I attempted to return the call after 6 o'clock this evening, only to be met with an engaged tone. Cheers for the heads up!Jane2 yearsJust your usual fraud call. I've blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI got a call even though I’m on the TPS list. The bloke said he was from the local health service and that I should get a medical alert pendant since I’m over 70. He didn’t give his name or check any of my details. I knew right away it was dodgy, told him I thought it was a scam and just ended the call. Total scam about medical stuff.TPS2 yearsGot a call and there was nothing but silence on the other end, made me think it was one of those annoying call centre jobs.2 yearsHad a bloke ring my husband saying he could get a medical alert pendant. Thankfully, my husband wasn’t interested and said no thanks. He initially thought it was from our nearby hospital, but the number started with 0191, which isn’t even our area code! Definitely felt like some kind of dodgy scam. Watch out for these calls!2 yearsI got a call from a woman who asked if I could hear her. As soon as I said yes, some automated message about solar panels kicked off. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI got no reply when I answered the phone.2 yearsGot a call from this number saying they represented a solar panel firm. We’re ex directory and on the TPS list, so they shouldn’t be ringing us. Just hung up and blocked them straight away. It’s so frustrating that these companies aren’t following the rules. They really ought to be slapped with a hefty fine!TPS2 yearsGot a call with some robotic voice saying I was entitled to solar power, total scam for sure.2 yearsI was just browsing the internet for assistance options for an elderly mate when this number popped up on my home phone, offering some kind of emergency alarm pendant. When I questioned where they got my details from - considering I hadn't shared anything personal during my search - they immediately hung up. And yes, I'm on the TPS list.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsThey rang but didn’t bother to leave any message.2 yearsSaw the comment below where someone got caught out saying "yes" to a caller. It’s easy to slip up but honestly, it’s daft to agree to anything like that. Saying yes can legally bind you to something you don’t want. When an unknown number rings, don’t engage or answer directly. Instead, just keep asking questions like "Who’s this?" "What’s this about?" or "How did you get my number?" Scammers are actually pretty sharp, but most people in the UK aren’t so that’s how they keep bothering us. If you get scam texts, make sure you send them to 7726 to help fight back.2 yearsPicked up the phone but there was silence, so I ended the call and looked it up on this site.2 yearsI just stayed quiet and listened first, then suddenly a real person asked if I was hearing her. As soon as I replied yes, some automated recording kicked in. I’ve blocked the number right away - pretty sure it’s a scam!2 yearsToday, I got a call from this number claiming there was some medical problem and offering a medical alert system. I wasn’t interested at all and just ended the call straight away.2 yearsI received a call from this number and there was nothing but silence on the other end. I've seen reports stating it's linked to some pesky solar energy marketing scams. Stay vigilant!2 yearsTotal rip off!2 yearsSounds dodgy to me, that caller didn’t seem genuine at all. They said even if I answered "no" to the questions, I’d still qualify for a free medical alert bracelet or necklace. The whole thing just felt off, like their reasoning made no sense.2 yearsThis number called me, but when I picked up, there was only silence and some static noise. It felt dodgy, like one of those annoying scam calls or something.2 yearsGot a call from a number with no one speaking after I answered. After seeing what others have said about these calls, I decided to report it to Ofcom and block the number straight away.Ofcom2 yearsOver the past couple days, this number has popped up three different times. I never pick up if it’s from an unknown prefix, and there was no voicemail left either. Seems like it’s just some dodgy scammer trying their luck.2 yearsGot a call out of the blue. Let it go to voicemail, and after starting to leave a message, they just cut off real quick.2 yearsGot calls 4 times in just one day but they never left a voicemail.2 yearsGot two calls from this number just 10 minutes apart today. Thought it might be urgent the second time so I picked up straight away. They said my home could qualify for complimentary solar panels installation. I told them to reach out to my housing association about their “great” deal and then they just ended the call. That’s that.2 yearsThey rang me but I didn’t pick up and there was no voicemail left. I’m just gonna block this number now.2 yearsAs soon as I picked up I ended the call immediately.2 yearsI got a ring from someone named ‘Jane’ roughly 30 minutes ago, claiming it was regarding solar power. I told her I wasn’t keen and ended the call. She hasn’t tried ringing me again since.Jane2 yearsGot two calls from this number. I usually just let unknown ones ring off into the voicemail, but the first time there was no message. The second time I picked up and heard nothing before they ended the call. Feels like just another dodgy scam to me.2 yearsNo idea who that was, didn’t bother picking up, just blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI got a call from a woman who said she was Jane and worked for some Solar Energy company. She mentioned that my house qualified for solar panels based on their info. But when she asked if I owned the place, I said I was renting. She paused for a moment, then said sorry for bothering me and ended the call.Jane2 yearsTotally a scam, so I just blocked it.2 yearsThe moment my voicemail picked up, the caller just hung up. Definitely not following TPS rules.2 yearsDidn’t pick up a call cos it seemed like a scam, had a look on here and turns out I was spot on!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be my local health services rep, said I had some chronic health issues on file (I’m over 60). Asked if I’d experienced any falls or any sort of medical emergency lately. I told them no. Then they asked if I knew about a free medical alert pendant I could get. I asked what would be the point of it. They said it would give me peace of mind in case something happened and I needed to call for help quickly. Told them I’ve got my mobile phone for that. They said fair enough and then ended the call.Said2 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they ended the call.2 yearsThey rang me a couple of times this afternoon but didn’t say anything or leave a voicemail. Sounds like it could be a scam to me.2 yearsThey keep calling me even though I've signed up to TPS. Just trying to push sales on you. Best to ignore their calls altogether.TPS2 yearsWasn't sure if it was a real person or some sort of AI, because there was a weird pause before they answered, like they weren't sure what to say if you didnt respond straight away. The voice sounded Australian. They mentioned knowing about my health problems and asked if I had a health alert device. I told them I wasn’t interested and hung up.2 yearsSomebody rang my dad saying they were local to him, even though he doesn’t live anywhere near Sunderland. They tried to get him to accept a free emergency alert pendant, claiming he didn’t have one yet. But he’s already been given one by the council. I told the caller that, but he kept insisting there wasn’t any active emergency system at the house. He then asked if either of us suffer from certain health problems. I didn’t give them any details, just said no thanks and ended the call.Sunderland2 yearsThis morning my home phone rang from this number but since I’m already signed up to the TPS (I double checked), they are clearly ignoring that. I didn’t pick up because I was tied up in a meeting at the time!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming I’m over 60 and have some health issues, offering these emergency alarm pendants. I’m not even close to that age. They didn’t give any real details, just vague stuff. Totally feels like a scam to me.2 yearsI didnt pick up and they never left a msg or anything.2 yearsIn just two days, I got the same solar panel sales call twice. Told the lady I’d be reporting her to the TPS.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a missed call from 01917431656 but I had no clue who it was, so I just left it unanswered.2 yearsEven though we're on the TPS list, another rip-off artist tried to con us out of cash. Honestly, they should all be locked up and the key buried forever!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsAvoid these calls at all costs, they just want you to get involved with the scumbags behind this nonsense. I’ve blocked the number straight away.2 yearsI ignored the call at first, but after reading loads of useful reviews on Who Called Me?, I’m a bit worried now. I’ve had a couple of calls in the past few days and it’s a bit worrying because I’ve recently been dealing with a couple of hospitals about some upcoming appointments. Feels like this might be one of those dodgy health-related scams.2 yearsI got a call that was totally a scam, using GPS stuff which I believe is against the law.2 yearsThis was definitely a scam just trying to get our details. They said we could get a free solar panel inspection with no charges. It’s obvious they didn’t follow the TPS rules since I never asked for the call. I just said goodbye and hung up straight away.2 yearsGot a call on my landline claiming I qualify for solar panels. I live up on the third floor of an apartment building, so that's just not possible. I've just gone ahead and blocked the number now.2 yearsI got a call from 01917431656, and as soon as I said "hello", the line went dead and they hung up straight away.2 yearsThis number keeps popping up on my phone and I always just let it go to voicemail, but weirdly, no messages are ever left. They call from similar area codes, but the actual numbers keep changing. It's a bit strange really.2 yearsI got a call where this recorded voice claimed to be from health services saying I had some health issues. Turned out to be a total scam, so I just blocked the number straight away.3 yearsPeople are so shady, trying to sell dodgy bath plugs that are total scams.3 yearsGot a call from them this morning. I made it pretty clear where they could shove it...3 yearsGot a cold call from someone trying to sell me an emergency contact pen. They claimed they got my info because I supposedly have health issues. When I declined, they started to get a bit insistent. Not very pleasant.3 yearsI got a call from 0191 743 1656 but the moment I picked up, they just ended the call straight away. Maybe I wasn’t the right person they were after. I’ve gone ahead and blocked that number now.3 yearsWithout a doubt, this was a sketchy caller.3 yearsThis morning I got a really upbeat bloke who called himself Sam, claiming to be from some health service in my area. I noticed the number started with 0191, which is Newcastle - so I asked him, “If you’re local, why’s your phone showing as Newcastle?” He cut me off straightaway. Tried ringing it back but the line was dead. Scams in general are awful, but health scams? They’re just downright cruel and nasty.SamNewcastle3 yearsI got a call from a bloke called Sam, said he was my health worker checking in on my medical stuff. When I asked where he got my details from, he just hung up on me. Weird experience.Sam3 yearsSo this bloke calls saying he’s Sam from Medi Alert and works in healthcare nearby. Then he starts asking about my health stuff. I just said cheers, goodbye and ended the call. Honestly, no medical info should be given to anyone who’s not your actual doctor, especially some stranger ringing up outta nowhere. Plus, the number wasn’t even from my country, let alone my area!SamMedi Alert3 yearsSome bloke called me claiming to be Sam, said he worked in healthcare nearby and was checking how I was. I asked why he was ringing from a 0191 number when that’s miles away from me, and then he just cut me off! Proper dodgy if you ask me.Sam3 yearsGot a call from this number, but as soon as I picked up, they just cut off. Seems a bit dodgy to me.3 yearsAnswered the phone but no one was on the line. As I was about to hang up, I heard someone start talking.3 yearsIt was that Sam bloke, supposedly from local health services or something like that. I caught who it was straight away from the accent and voice, so I just ended up blocking the number and hanging up.Sam3 yearsI picked up and the caller just dropped the call straight away.3 yearsThere was this bloke called Sam claiming to be a healthcare worker from my area, but funny thing is, he had no clue what my actual postcode was... quite suspicious if you ask me!Sam3 yearsGot a call from some supposed health company asking all these questions about my wellbeing. When I told them nothing was wrong, they said I was eligible for a free panic alarm for health emergencies. I just ended the call right away.3 yearsSomebody called me from this number but I honestly dont know who it was. Looks suspicious to me, might be one of those scam calls.3 yearsdefinitely a bunch of scammers, stay clear!3 yearsGot a call about an emergency pendant for seniors, they asked if I was over 60.

I’ve blocked the number now.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from a emergency wristband service for older people, said it was for falls. They tried to get bank info out of my elderly family member, which seemed really dodgy to me.3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming I’m elderly and have some health issues, saying I was eligible for some kind of emergency alarm. When I asked where they even got those details about my health from, they just wouldn’t tell me.3 yearsSomebody called claiming to be from healthcare, saying since I’m over 70 and have health problems I should have one of those emergency call buttons. Thing is, I’m under 70 and perfectly fine health-wise. It made me think maybe they’ve got access to addresses linked to these numbers, trying to find out who’s at each place? Feels quite dodgy. Honestly, it could be pretty dangerous if that’s the case.3 yearsHe said his name was Sam and claimed to be working for some health organizations nearby. He mentioned his boss gave him lists of anyone over 70 with health issues. I just told him straight up he was lying.Sam3 yearsThis bloke called and said he was Sam, told me he worked in healthcare nearby. Then, he just cut the call. Guess I didn’t come across as an easy mark or something.Sam3 yearsGot a call from someone saying I was shortlisted for a discounted solar panel deal. Didn’t even get to say a word before she was going on and on, real pushy and kinda rude. The whole chat felt one way, no chance to interrupt. The woman had an intense tone and sounded like she was at a busy call centre with loads of noise in the background. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away. Pretty sure it was a scam!3 yearsGot a missed call on my home phone when I wasn't there, but they didn't leave any voicemail or anything.3 yearsI picked up my landline, and a lady asked if I could hear her okay. There was loads of noise in the background, like an office or something. I just hung up after that.3 yearsI got a call from a woman who said her name was Jane. When I asked her how she got my number, she wouldn’t tell me. She also asked if I owned my house. She spoke very nicely, but when I said she should send me something in writing, she just ended the call. I’m on the TPS, so this call felt a bit dodgy. She kept going on about it being 50% cheaper, but as soon as I started asking questions, she just hung up.JaneTPS3 yearsGot a call from someone saying my home qualifies for free solar panel fitting. Sounded like one of those typical solar energy scams to me.3 yearsI was curious about qualifying for a government grant to install solar panels, but after a brief chat, I decided to hang up as it didn't pique my interest.3 yearsSimply another bothersome ring.3 yearsThis one was just another scam call, nothing new really.3 yearsI didn't pick up since the number was unfamiliar. Later, I looked it up on this site and found out it’s connected to scams. My two cents: Ignore calls from numbers you don’t know.
