01970607737 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01970607737 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number associated with unsolicited calls offering free medical alert pendants, commonly targeting older or vulnerable individuals. Callers ask personal health and mobility questions, often without providing clear company details, and pressure recipients with scare tactics about medical emergencies. Many recipients report it as a scam, with some callers appearing evasive or terminating calls abruptly when questioned. The number is linked to suspicious marketing practices, frequently ignored the Telephone Preference Service rules, and showed evidence of spoofing or use by call centres. Users are advised to avoid engaging, not to share personal information, report the calls to official fraud authorities, and consider informing their MP to push for stricter regulation of phantom and spoofed phone calls.

This number rang me up out of the blue trying to sell a cheaper boiler insurance. It felt dodgy to me, so I just ended the call straight away. Probably a scam.

Got a call today about qualifying for some kinda medical alert pendant. They asked if I was over 50, I said yeah, then they wanted to know if I used a walking stick. That’s when I just ended the call. Felt like they were prying too much for no good reason, seemed a bit dodgy to me.

Got a call on my home phone from someone saying I might be eligible for a medical alert device. He kept asking stuff, but when I asked him to say who he was again, he just repeated the same intro like he was reading off a script. Seemed dodgy to me. I told him I don’t give out info on calls like that and he just hung up. Looked it up and it’s apparently a well known rip-off.

Was on the phone with someone trying to convince me to accept a free medical gadget. They kept firing off loads of questions but didn’t answer any of mine. When I asked stuff about medical stuff, they just ended the call. Honestly, if I was older or more vulnerable, I reckon they could’ve easily freaked me out and got me to agree to something I didn’t want. They kept going on about what I’d do in an emergency and the so-called 'doctor's golden hour'. Felt like they were using scare tactics to push me into it.

I just ignored the call cos the place wasn’t one we know at all. Then again, I did live in Dyfed ages back, about 30 years ago, lol. My gut feeling was right this time. Seriously, why aren’t the authorities doing more about these calls? They said they would clamp down, but nothing’s really happening and it’s getting a bit ridiculous now.

I received a rather unexpected phone call today, during which I was informed that I was listed on some sort of alert and supposedly qualified for a complimentary medical device. The caller asked an array of questions concerning my health and mobility, yet conveniently chose to overlook my inquiries. I decided to end the conversation as I realised I had as much need for their offer as the caller had for a cup of tea in the Sahara. It struck me quite profoundly that if I were of a more elderly disposition or perhaps not as savvy, they might have easily coerced me into committing to something I had no intention of pursuing. They even launched into a spiel about what I should do if I took a tumble and couldn't summon assistance, bringing up the ‘golden hour’ notion as a scare tactic. It’s truly disheartening to see such tactics being used against those who might be more susceptible!

He asked if I qualified for some kind of medical alert thing. I asked him how old he thought I was. When I said if he was so clued-up on me, he should already know, he just ended the call straight away!

Got a call from 01790 607737 on the 29th of March but it just went straight to voicemail and they didn’t leave any message. From what I’ve read from other folks, this number seems like it’s linked to some sort of scam. Our number is on the TPS list, so not sure if they got it from somewhere or they were just randomly ringing about.

I received a call from someone claiming I was eligible for a medical alert pendant. They began by asking if I was over 50 and then probed into my health situation. I cut in, asking, 'Who do you think you're talking to, exactly?' To which he responded, 'Alright then, no worries, have a pleasant day,' and hung up just as I was about to say, 'I reckon you're a scam artist.' Looking back, perhaps I ought to have said something like, 'You've reached the Fraud Squad at West Mercia Police - who do you wish to speak to?' 😊

Had a pretty similar experience to what others have said. I decided to humour the caller just to see what he was about, and he kept trying to convince me to get a free fall-detection pendant, coming up with loads of reasons why I’d need it. I told him I’m in my 40s and healthy as can be, but he just wouldn’t give up! Eventually I just ended the call, but it’s worrying to think that elderly or vulnerable people might fall for this kind of pushy approach.

I’ve made a couple of posts about how to actually put an end to these scam calls. It’s not exactly quick or easy, but I’ve been reporting suspicious calls and messages to the police’s online system (I keep the page bookmarked for convenience). The problem is, it needs loads of people to chip in with these reports before anything meaningful can come of it. Every day, thousands of folks here flag scam numbers, but the change is slow. My MP did get back to me, which was a bit of a surprise, yet realistically it’ll take a lot more than just me asking to shake things up.

BEWARE! Make sure you report any dodgy calls or texts to the proper fraud team. Just search for ‘action fraud’ and head over to the official police.uk website. There’s a section for reporting phishing - have a read through everything they’ve got there, then submit the info about the scam you received, including any links or website addresses. You don’t need to sign up or give personal info. The police rely on people doing this to get a clear picture of how widespread these scams really are.

Received a call from 01970607737, and after looking it up, found out it’s linked to Gamma Telecom Holdings Ltd. The caller left a voicemail asking me to ring them back, which I wasn’t about to do. Seems like just another dodgy scam call to me. The number 0197060 is apparently connected to Gemma Telecom Holdings Ltd. I’ve gone ahead and reported the number already.

Someone called me trying to sell a medical alert pendant and asked if I was over 50. I told them I’d just turned 76 today! Not a single “Happy Birthday” from them, which felt kinda rude. Then they started saying they had to ask me some questions, but I told them I wasn’t quite up for that right now and thanked them for ringing. They did say thanks and then ended the call. When I looked up the number, it showed Aberystwyth?? I’m definitely nowhere near Wales! The number was 01970607737.

Picked up my home phone the other day, even though my number’s unlisted. The bloke on the other end said his name was John and asked if I might qualify for a medical alert pendant. He then wanted to know if I was over 50. I asked him where exactly he was calling from. He said a company called Medic Alert from Dorset. From what I gathered on this site, the number actually points to Aberystwyth. I told him I’m pretty healthy and don’t take any meds, so I don’t really need one of those pendants. He said thanks for my time and hung up. Smells a bit dodgy to me.

I received a rather peculiar call suggesting I could get a medical alert pendant. The chap on the other end inquired if I was past the half-century mark and relied on a cane or walker, which struck me as odd. When I probed him further about how he had come by my details, he became rather evasive and wouldn’t clarify whether it was linked to the NHS. He then mentioned I could rent this pendant for a mere 99p daily. I politely declined and ended the conversation, feeling quite unsettled by the whole exchange.
