01970607718 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

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.

Got a call at my mum's place, sounded local and really nice at first. They started asking for personal info though, and I immediately knew something was off since the NHS already has all that. Tried to hang up but suddenly they rushed, saying it was a limited offer and I needed to act quickly. Pretty clear to me it was some kind of scam, maybe after money or details or 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!

Got a call from someone saying they were with Medical Alert, asking if I was over 50. They didn't ask for any of my details, and since I've got no health problems, it seemed a bit dodgy to me. Feels like a scam to me.

Got a phone call from a medical alert centre offering a free pendant. The person on the line asked if I’m over 50. I said yes, but mentioned we already own one. He was very polite, thanked me, wished me a good day and then ended the call.

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.
4 years
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!

Got a call from a "Medical Alert Centre" earlier, the voice was all wonky and I basically stopped them right away. 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.

I got a call from someone saying they were from a health centre and that my details had been sent over, offering me a free medical alert pendant. They asked if I was over 50 and told me they were reaching out to folks like me who supposedly live alone and have health problems. I told them I don’t live alone and asked what made them think I had any medical issues. They just said alright and hung up straight away. The phone line was quite scratchy and there was a short delay before the call connected.

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!

At around 4.34 in the afternoon, I got a call from someone who clearly had a script in front of them. He was pushing me to say whether I required a complimentary medical alert. When I asked how he got my contact details, he sheepishly admitted his manager handed him daily lists of numbers to call. I mentioned the GDPR regulations and quickly hung up. He wasn’t happy with my questions at all. Watch out for calls from 09710 607718, looks like they’re based near Aberystwyth, Wales.

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.

Just got a call like this too. The bloke claimed he was calling from Dorset - straight away, that felt dodgy. Then he started asking if I was over 50, if I used a walking stick or anything, and if I had diabetes. Said there was some free Medical Alert thing available. He kept asking what I’d do if I needed help. I asked where they got my info from, though he didn’t even seem to know my name. When I said I wasn’t giving anything to some random caller, he said he was new and his manager would know more. I told him it was a scam and then he just hung up. Honestly, it was a total load of rubbish. Don’t give them any details, no matter what.

I got a call from some young bloke claiming he’d received my info from a hospital nearby, saying I might be eligible for a free medical alert device. He asked if I was over fifty, and if I used a walking stick or frame. Then he said I was one of only seven people in the area who could get this free device, on the condition I’d give a testimonial. He mentioned a daily monitoring fee of 99p, which sounded a bit off. When he asked me to spell out my full name for verification, I instead questioned where he’d got my details from. He said his manager sends him a list every day from hospitals and local GPs. He then wanted to connect me with their verification team and asked for my usual payment method. When I asked if he wanted my credit card details, he said yes, to confirm my identity before sending the device. I told him I never give card info over the phone, but he kept interrupting, insistent he needed it. I just ended the call. Pretty sure it’s a scam trying to steal your details.
