Phone number ☎️ 01970607718 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting primarily older individuals with unsolicited calls claiming eligibility for free medical alert pendants. Callers often identify themselves with common names and purport to be from a medical alert centre, frequently referencing Dorset while using an Aberystwyth number, raising suspicion of number spoofing. They use scripted dialogues to gather personal health details and pressure recipients into providing financial information, including credit card data under the guise of identity verification or monitoring fees. Calls are described as aggressive, confusing, and sometimes silent or prerecorded, with no messages left. Recipients are advised strongly against sharing any personal or financial information, blocking the number, and reporting to relevant authorities to prevent fraud.

Some bloke called from what he said was Dorset, gave his name as John. He asked if I needed a walking stick, but I didn’t want to say anything. When I asked where he got my number from, he went quiet and just kept going on about some free medical alert pendant. Tried to find out if there’d be any charges later, but he dodged the question. Ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

Definitely not a genuine individual on the other end-just a robot spouting the same few scripted lines over and over. They were keen to push a medical alert pendant and seemed to have gotten hold of some info from the council, claiming an elderly resident resided at this address. Once I clocked that it was a cold call, I promptly ended the conversation.

I got a call from someone claiming I qualified for a free medical alert bracelet. They kept asking me all these questions about my health. When I told them I didn’t think I was eligible, they suddenly pushed the idea that I should have a panic button in case I fell, even though I’m not living by myself. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

I received a call at my elderly mother's residence that nearly had me fooled. The voice on the line seemed quite familiar and amiable, but then they started probing for personal details. I thought to myself, “Surely the NHS already possesses this information!”
As I attempted to end the call, they insisted it was a unique opportunity that I needed to seize immediately!
It all felt rather dodgy-definitely a scam aiming for either information or cash, if not both.

Some bloke called and said his name was Michael, but never asked who I was. He told me I could get a ‘medical pendant’ or something. I hung up right away, looked up the number on ‘Who Called Me’ and then sent the details to Dyfed-Powys Police. The number was from Aberystwyth, by the way.

I got a call from some bloke named John who said he was ringing from a “medical alert centre” in Dorset. He claimed my records mean I might be able to get a medical alert bracelet. But when I asked him to go over the details again and why I’d be eligible, he just said thanks and ended the call. Bit strange, really.

A call came through claiming to be from Dorset - straight away, the fibs started. They asked if I was over 50, saying I qualified for a free Medical Alert gadget. When I asked how they got my information and who supplied it, the guy said he was just new but his boss would know. Then he asked what I'd do if I fell down. I told him it all sounded like a con and they hung up on me. Proper dodgy behaviour. Don’t fall for their tricks!

This was 100% a scam. The guy said he was calling about a medical alert button. Since my mum owns one already, I asked if it was for her and he said it was. But then he wouldn’t stop talking and just tried to push his supposed medical alert device on me the whole time. Proper fishy.

The person on the phone started by wanting me to verify I was older than 50. Surely any legit medical group that has my number would already have my age on file. He mentioned some sort of medical alert gadget that I might use. But when I asked why I was picked for this deal, he just hung up. So yeah, I think this call was totally dodgy.

Got a call from a bloke with an English accent claiming to be from Medical Alerts or something like that. He said my medical records showed I could get a free pendant. Then he asked how old I was - I told him that info’s already in my records, so why ask? I mentioned I was considering getting one and asked him to send me info by post because I’m not buying anything over the phone. He was quite polite and ended the call without fuss. Pretty clear they were trying to fish for my personal info.

Got a call from someone offering a medical alert device for falls, fires and that sort of thing. They asked if I was over 50, so naturally I asked how they got my number in the first place. The guy mumbled something about the NHS sharing it with him. Then I challenged him, asking if he even knew my name. He claimed he didn’t hear it. When I pressed on asking who exactly he was trying to reach, he just ended the call. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

I got a call from a guy who wanted to know if I'd had any falls or accidents at home over the past couple of years. He was talking about some kind of pendant to wear and a special phone to use in emergencies. He never asked for my name or any details. Feeling a bit iffy about it, I told him I’d hang up and call back later. He kept asking if he could call me again, but I insisted he give me his number so I could ring him when I was ready. He asked for the callback a few more times but finally just hung up without being rude or anything.

So this guy rings up claiming to be from some medical alert service. I told him to just post me the info instead, but he wasn’t having any of it and just hung up, saying bye.

Sounds like a classic scam to me, probably trying to fish for info or cash by pretending it’s something medical. The guy clearly read from a script and dodged any direct questions. Then, when I asked, he said he’d get “my mum” and just left the phone hanging for about five minutes. Total waste of time.

I got a call from a bloke claiming to be from some medical alert service. I barely got a chance to speak before he was rattling on, asking if I was over 50 and stuff. I tried to ask what this was all about but he just kept talking right over me. Eventually, I said my mum already has one of those, and then he just hung up on me. Weird thing was, it came from a local Aberystwyth number, which is about an hour away from here. Proper strange!

Then some bloke named "John" started chatting, but I cut in and told him to explain what he wanted straight off. He sounded a bit lost after that, like he didn’t know what to do next. I just said he was messing about and hung up on him.

It definitely came across like a robo call, where depending on what you say, you get different responses. The person behind it spoke English, but when I asked how they had my number, it just repeated the same answer over and over, like someone manually choosing from set replies. Pretty sneaky scam if you ask me, though there was a noticeable pause before they responded.

Some bloke named John rang me, said he was from a medical alert place (yeah right?). He went on and on asking if I was over 50 and if I needed a walking stick or something. I joked that if I actually had a stick, it’d be to give that conman a good thrashing! When I started asking him some questions, he just hung up. Claimed he was calling from Dorset, but the number’s prefix looked like it was from Aberystwyth. Seems like a classic spoofed scam, don’t fall for it!

I received a call today at precisely 16:34 from someone who seemed to be following a script rather rigidly. His pitch was all about persuading me to reveal whether I required a complimentary medical alert system. Naturally, I probed him about how he acquired my name and number. He mentioned that his manager supplies him with lists daily to contact individuals. I brought up the GDPR regulations and then promptly ended the conversation. It appeared he wasn’t too pleased with my line of questioning. Just a heads-up: the number in question is 09710 607718, and it appears to be linked to the Aberystwyth region in Wales. Stay cautious!

I got a call from a bloke saying I qualified for some kind of Medical Alert gadget. When I asked for his name or company, he just kept going on about the "offer". I pressed him a couple of times about how he got my home phone number, but he just stuck to his lines like a broken record. It became clear to me it was dodgy, so I ended the call. He seemed quite convincing, so I reckon people who aren’t careful might easily get caught out by this. Just watch out for this kind of thing.

I've just experienced a rather similar phone call myself. The chap claimed he hailed from Dorset, which was the first sign that something wasn't right. He inquired whether I was over 50, and if I used a walking stick or mobility aid. He also wanted to know if I suffered from diabetes, all under the guise of offering a complimentary Medical Alert system. I pressed him on what I should do if I ever needed assistance. I too quizzed him about how they obtained this list, although he didn’t seem to have a clue what my name was. I flat out asked him why I'd divulge any personal information to a stranger on the phone. He responded that he was new and didn’t have the answers, but promised that his supervisor would. I then informed him that I believed this was a scam, and he promptly hung up. It's truly appalling behaviour; never reveal any personal details to these callers!

Recently, a rather youthful chap from England contacted me, claiming to have received my information from the local hospital to see if I might be eligible for a complimentary medical alert button device. He inquired whether I was over fifty, if I used a walking stick or frame, and then informed me that I was one of the last seven individuals in my vicinity who could be offered this free device, in exchange for a testimonial. While the device itself would come at no cost, they would charge a £0.99 daily fee for monitoring. He then requested me to spell out my first and last names for verification purposes. In response, I pressed him about the source of my details, to which he mentioned that he received a daily list from his manager, asserting that their company had been given access to the information of individuals who might qualify, courtesy of local medical facilities and doctors. Curious as to what else he needed from me, he sought to transfer the call to their verification department. When I probed what specifics they were after, he tossed out a question regarding my typical payment method. When I queried if he expected my credit card details, he affirmed that he'd require them for the dispatch of the device, citing identity verification as the reason. I firmly told him I never disclose card information over the phone. Despite my objections, he continued to speak over me, insisting on my details, prompting me to finally end the call. An absolute red flag in my book-this was a glaring attempt at fraud, pure and simple.

UNWANTED CALLS ... 01970 607718 Today, I had a rather suspicious call from this particular number, purporting to be from 'The Medical Alert Centre'.

However, as soon as the gentleman began probing me with questions, I realised it was a dodgy operation and decided to end the conversation promptly.
