Rang my home phone but didn’t respond when I picked up; the call just dropped off.

I wasn’t familiar with the number, so I chose not to answer. They didn't leave any voicemail either. After looking it up on this website, I decided to block the number.

Received a call from a medical alert service inquiring whether I required an alarm system. They seemed particularly interested in any instances of falling I might have experienced.

I chose not to pick up the call as I didn’t recognise the number. They didn’t leave a message either.

I tried ringing 01970607718, but it just went to voicemail and no message was recorded. How odd!

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.

Today, I received a call on my home phone from this number, but when I answered, there was complete silence on the other end. Quite peculiar, really!

The phone chimed just before half-past twelve. I picked it up and said, "Hello there" - yet, there was just silence on the other end. I repeated myself, "Is anyone there?" but still no reply before they abruptly ended the call.

Received a rather peculiar call from 01970607718 earlier today. When I picked up, there was absolute silence on the other end. I waited for a few minutes in case someone decided to finally say something, but nothing came through. Eventually, I became fed up and decided to end the call. I've also taken the precaution of blocking that number to avoid any further disturbances.

I received a rather peculiar call from someone who spoke impeccable English—certainly not a Welsh accent. They were inquiring about my age and health history, but the line began to crackle quite badly. In the end, I decided it best to just hang up and block the number.

The caller claimed I qualified for some sort of medical apparatus, but then they started fishing for my personal information. I promptly told them to bugger off!

I received a call that I didn’t ask for.

Kindly refrain from sharing any specifics!

I received a call purportedly from a medical alert service, inquiring whether I was over the age of 50. Remarkably, they seemed disinterested in knowing my name or any details about my health, which raised a few red flags. This feels rather like a scam to me, and I wouldn't recommend engaging with them.

Received a phone call from a medical alert service concerning a complimentary pendant. The person on the other end inquired whether I was over fifty. I mentioned that we already possess one (which we do). He kindly thanked me, wished me a pleasant day, and then hung up.

He posed as a medical representative trying to peddle some sort of pendant. I hung up after he bombarded me with numerous queries that I had no intention of responding to.

I had a chap ring me claiming to represent some medical alert service. When I requested that he send over information through the post, he seemed quite disinterested and promptly hung up. Quite odd, really!

I received a rather peculiar offer for a medical pendant today. When I requested his phone number, he was unable to provide it, claiming he was situated in Dorset, which I found a bit odd. My phone, however, managed to identify his number, so I promptly blocked it. Quite the strange encounter!

I received a call from 01970607718 earlier today. The chap on the line, claiming to be 'John' from 'Medical Alert', informed me that I was qualified for a health alarm system and wanted to ask me a few questions. Before he could get too far, I cut him off and firmly stated, "Not a chance, I'm not interested at all." Then I promptly disconnected.

"Just as I picked up the phone, they disconnected the call, leaving me puzzled about their identity. They've attempted to reach me multiple times while I've been busy at work, but not once did they bother to leave a voicemail. I've now added them to my block list."

The caller seemed to be probing with rather unclear medical inquiries. They hung up after just a few questions, approximately three to be precise.

I received a call from 01970607718 at twenty-five minutes past four, but they didn't leave any voicemail. Quite mysterious!

Emergency medical notification

I tried saying hello a couple of times, but there was absolutely no response. It just went on in complete silence for more than two minutes! Quite odd, really.

Somebody rang me, asserting they were from the medical alert centre, and began probing for my personal information.

I received a call, but they hung up while I was chatting away. Didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either. Quite odd, really!

I'm curious about how one qualifies for a medical alert pendant. What are the criteria to be considered eligible for it?

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'. Initially, I was taken in, as I actually have a health concern and am scheduled to chat with the hospital this week about it—it’s an Aberystwyth code, after all. 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.

Even though I'm in good shape and feel great, I reckon it's wise to have a medical alert pendant. What a nuisance!

A young fellow inquired whether I had crossed the half-century mark, suggesting that I might qualify for a medical alert pendant.

It seems I've reached the golden age of 50, which qualifies me for a medical alert pendant. Who knew age would come with such perks?

It seems I might qualify for one of those medical alert pendants—whatever they actually are!

I received a call inquiring whether I was over the age of 50 regarding a complimentary pendant alarm. It struck me as rather suspicious, and I have a strong feeling it was just an automated message.
