I got a call from someone called John at Medical Alert who told me I could get a free medical alert pendant. The phone number he rang from was 01970 607635, which looks a lot like the other numbers people have mentioned. He asked me about my medical background but I just said thanks, no thanks, and ended the call.

Got a ring from 01970 607548 saying they were from MEDICAL ALERT and trying to give me a free medical bracelet. I asked where they’d sourced my info from, and the bloke said his manager had handed it over. When I asked about how that fits with data protection laws, I just said thanks, wished him a good day, and ended the call.

I got a call from some Medic Alert folks saying I was eligible for one of their products. They started asking loads of questions about my age, health and stuff like what I'd do if I ended up falling and nobody was around to help. Felt pretty pushy and uncomfortable, like a hard sell. Not a nice experience at all.

Received a call claiming I was eligible for a medical alert system. They bombarded me with a series of questions, but when I sought clarity, their responses were rather evasive.

I received a call from a bloke claiming I could get a complimentary medical alert bracelet, provided I was over the age of 50. When I probed for the source of his info, he abruptly went quiet yet stayed on the line. It was quite evident he was still lurking there but refused to engage further, which prompted me to hang up. Quite a dodgy encounter, as he sounded convincing enough.

This morning, my mum got a call from someone named “John” claiming to give away a free medical alert pendant. The chat felt odd, like there were pauses that made it sound like one of those automated calls. Luckily, mum’s not easily fooled and she ended the call before anything else was said. She knew something wasn’t right.

This guy claimed he was from Medical Records and said something like, "Our files indicate you qualify for an alarm pendant, but I just need to confirm if you're over 50." I mean, come on, basic info like your age should be right there in the records. Didn’t even bother to argue, just hung up on him.

So this bloke called up claiming I could get a free medical alert gadget if I was over a certain age or something. He kept talking right over me, couldn't even get a word in!

They called saying they were with some medical alert company, offering me free service because of a mobility or health problem. I asked straight away what medical info they had on me since that's private data, but they refused to say despite me explaining my rights under the data protection laws. Then he quickly ended the call, saying his manager would get in touch. Definitely a scam or a cold call as I don’t have any medical conditions at all.

I had an encounter with a con artist purporting to be from "Medicare Alert," trying to persuade me that I qualified for a complimentary medical pendant. They were rather insistent on knowing whether I was over 50, which struck me as rather odd. To top it off, they wanted me to fork out some cash for shipping costs. Total time waster, if you ask me!

Got a call from some medical alert place, and the first thing they asked was if I was above 50. Then they started asking about any health problems, like if I needed a stick or a walking frame. They went on to scare me, talking about what might happen if I fell or got sick and no one was around to help. Bit of a scary spiel, really. But once I said I wasn’t keen, they didn’t push it any further. Honestly, don’t stress about these random cold calls.

I got a call from someone saying they were Medicalert, supposedly out of Buckinghamshire, not Aberystwyth, asking if I was over 50 as they had me down as possibly qualifying for one of their bracelets. It could be some honest call centre trying to drum up business from older folks, like another person here suggested, but I’m pretty certain it was a scam. My son, who’s passed away, actually wore a Medicalert bracelet, so I’m familiar with them. Plus, if they really had any sort of medical files on me (which I doubt), they’d know my exact age already.
