Phone number ☎️ 02843780012 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation primarily targeting vulnerable and elderly individuals, often claiming to be local healthcare workers or medical alert suppliers named "Sam." The callers frequently mention medical conditions or offer emergency alert pendants, attempting to gain personal information or consent through scripted, sometimes AI-like interactions. Many report the calls as unsolicited, originating from mismatched or suspicious locations, and affiliated with questionable companies. Numerous complaints note silence, delayed responses, or immediate hang-ups when questioned about data sources. Calls often bypass the Telephone Preference Service, causing distress and concern over privacy breaches. It is strongly advised not to engage, avoid confirming personal information, block the number, and warn vulnerable relatives to stay vigilant against this deceitful scheme.

2 yearsCalled on 29/04 at 3:58 pm, wasn’t home so it went straight to voicemail, but they didn’t leave any message.2 yearsGot a random call from someone saying they worked in healthcare. Honestly, I'd steer clear - seemed dodgy to me. Wouldn't believe it.2 yearsYou should see how often this number has been looked up! Honestly, it seems like Voxphone keeps letting this slide. I think this company might have connections with Voxbone SE or maybe Voxbone SA.Voxbone SEVoxbone SA2 yearsThis bloke claimed to be some kind of health worker for my local area and said he knew about my health problems. He was asking if I was interested in getting a pendant for emergencies. I told him I was alright and didn’t require anything like that.2 yearsGot a rubbish call from some dodgy "AI" the other day. They reckoned I was an elderly person with health problems and that I should get a free emergency pendant (I'm none of that). When I asked where they had my details they got all quiet and I could hear nothing for like 20 seconds before they tried again. Then I mentioned I’m on the TPS list and the line went dead silent for half a minute. Ended up just hanging up - got no time for that nonsense.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsLike some others mentioned, I got a call from someone who said his name was "Sam" trying to sell a medical alert pendant. He claimed he was calling from Dorset, but when I asked about my local area - which is about 200 miles away - he didn’t seem to know. I called him out for being a cold caller, and after that, he just went quiet. The replies were kinda slow at times, so it might have been an AI making the call.SamDorset2 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. The bloke said his name was Sam and mentioned working in healthcare or something like that. Then he started chatting about being a homeowner, so I told him I’m actually in a council flat. After that I just ended the call because it sounded like one of those dodgy scams (honestly, I’m swamped with 2 or 3 scam calls every week nowadays, it’s really annoying). I’ve now gone and blocked the number using BT's 1572 service.SamBT2 yearsDidn’t pick up, sounded like it might have been a scam call.2 yearsThis number rang me this afternoon around 2.52pm, but I ignored it since I didn’t know who it was. Thought if it really mattered, they’d just leave a voicemail. Nothing left on my answerphone though, but I still looked it up online out of curiosity and glad I did. I really hate these fraudulent calls, and it’s baffling how they manage to get hold of my EX-DIRECTORY NUMBER, especially as it’s supposed to be on the TPS list!Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Windows & Doors Ltd, but I didn’t bother chatting. Just hung up straight away. Have blocked the number now.Windows & Doors Ltd2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be in healthcare, but when I asked where they found my number, they just wouldn’t say. Feels like one of those dodgy scams to me.2 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was with a solar panel company, but I reckon it was just a scam.2 yearsI chose not to pick up as it went straight to an answering machine, and no voicemail was left. Seems like it could be a scam.2 yearsI received a call from someone with an English twang claiming to be our Health Care Support Worker. However, considering our landline is registered in East Anglia, that hardly qualifies as 'local' to County Down in Northern Ireland! He reiterated this same line twice without adding any further information, so I decided to cut the call short and hang up.Health Care Support WorkerEast AngliaCounty DownNorthern Ireland2 yearsGot a call with no one speaking on the other end. Very weird!2 yearsHe claimed to be working in healthcare somewhere around here.2 yearsGot a call outta the blue, they asked if my hearing was ok and I stupidly said ‘yeah’ - now I’m worried they might use my voice for some dodgy scam later on. Watch out, folks!2 yearsCaller didn't bother leaving any message.2 yearsGot a call from 02843780012, it was some automated voice claiming to be a local health worker saying I’d been selected for a free lifeline pendant for falls. As soon as my dog barked, even though I was quiet, the call kept going, trying to sell it at £1.30 a day - not exactly free, is it? Just another rubbish scammer, absolute waste of time. Make sure to tell your older family members to watch out for these dodgy calls!2 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said I'd been picked for a free medical alert pendant. Sounded fishy to me.2 yearsYet another round of dodgy calls today, what a nuisance! It seems like the scammers are out in full force again.2 years02843780012 Got a call from a guy called Sam, said he was a health worker but refused to give any ID. He was trying to offer free medical alert devices for folks with health problems. Never mentioned anything about a subscription if I even cared to listen properly. Feels like they’re just after your bank details. The real Medic Alert don’t do cold calls like this. Total scam, really dangerous for people who are vulnerable.Medic Alert2 yearsTried calling me out of the blue but just got a busy signal.2 yearsGot a recorded message that kept repeating no matter what I said, it was just nonsense answers. Definitely not a real person speaking. Feels like some automated system trying to run through a script. I just ended the call.2 yearsGot scammed, so I went ahead and blocked the number ✅2 yearsI got a call from 02803780012 and nobody said a word on the other end. It was pretty creepy! I’ve blocked the number on my home phone now. Really hope these bloody annoying calls just stop already.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam, who said he was a health worker. Trouble was, he wasn’t even from around here, sounded like he was miles away. When I asked what he was selling, he just went quiet, so I hung up. Makes me worried thinking about how these types manage to reach older folks or those who might not be as sharp as me.Sam2 yearsGot a call today about some health care scam, sounded really dodgy.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sam, a health worker nearby, saying I was eligible for a medical alert pendant. The voice seemed genuine at first, but when I asked what exactly they wanted, it felt like the same automated script repeated. Definitely sounded like a robot after a while.Sam2 yearsGot loads of calls with no one speaking, then out of nowhere this one caller started on about inheritance tax planning - total scam, watch out and don’t answer!2 yearsI received a surprise phone call out of the blue, and the caller inquired if I could hear them properly. Unfortunately, I mistakenly replied with a ‘yes’, which could potentially be misused in future scams involving my voice. Stay vigilant!2 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were a firm offering SOS Buttons and that they were based in Dorset. They told me I was vulnerable and offered to send me a free SOS pendant. But the number they called from had a code that’s actually from Newcastle in Ireland. Sounds like a scam to me.DorsetNewcastleIreland2 yearsThe phone keeps buzzing non-stop, and every time I pick up, there's just someone saying "Hello, can you hear me?" before going silent. It's getting so annoying now.2 yearsA woman rang and said I was chosen to get a medical alert alarm because of my age. When I questioned how they came to that conclusion, she said my name was on some kind of list for people over 65. I wanted to know who supplied that list, but she dodged the question and jumped straight into trying to sell me the device, mentioning the price. Then, when I asked once more, the caller just went silent.2 yearsAbsolutely despicable! It's revolting how these lowlife con artists prey on the elderly and vulnerable. They're no different from the low-down thieves who snatch handbags in shops. Honestly, it's downright shameful!2 yearsThey claimed I qualified for an emergency pendant because of health issues. When I asked where they got my details from, they couldn’t give me an answer since they had none. I told them that sharing info about me without permission would break data protection laws, and then they just cut the call.2 yearsI got a random call outta nowhere and they asked if I could hear them alright. I said “yeah” without thinkin’ twice, but now I’m worried they could use my voice for some scam down the line. Watch out everyone!2 yearsI’ve done a bit of digging and it seems like this could very well be a con.2 yearsGot a call from what sounded like an automated voice saying there was a medical emergency and they wanted to sell a pendant for £1.30 a day. It smelt fishy so I just ended the call straight away.2 yearsI saw the number but didn’t pick up as I didn’t know who it was.2 yearsask him to give me a buzz later, if he’s around.2 yearsI got called about a medical alert pendant costing just £1 daily, but it felt like a total con. Definitely make sure any older family members don’t fall for it.2 yearsI chose not to pick up and have blocked the number now.2 yearsI get calls from this number non stop every single day but no ones ever there when I pick up. It’s starting to feel like harrassment now.2 yearsI answered the call but there was nobody there. The number didn’t look familiar to me.2 yearsOn 18/04/24 at 11:37, I got a ring from this number. Some bloke calling himself ‘Sam’ said he was from the local health department - but didn’t get far. The day before, I’d already been rung by this same number and they just cut off. I’d looked the number up yesterday, so was prepared this time. I told ‘Sam’ I knew all about the scam rumours going around, told him to jog on, and ended the call.Sam2 yearsGot a call from an Irish area code, didn’t bother answering it. Looks like it’s one of those dodgy medical scams.2 yearsSeems like someone is pretending my doctor shared my number regarding the purchase of an Alert Pen. It feels a bit dodgy, especially since they're mainly aiming at older folks. Just a heads up for everyone!2 yearsGot a call from a blocked number saying something about health or medical services nearby. Didn’t ask for it at all, just popped up out of nowhere. Bit annoying tbh.2 yearsThey ring all the time but never bother to drop a voicemail.2 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from our neighbourhood health centre.2 yearsJust received a rather unsettling call from this number regarding health and care services. The person on the line mentioned something about a care worker and then abruptly shifted to asking for my credit card details for a supposed 24-hour health monitoring system. I could barely get a word in, as he spoke over me in a rather aggressive tone. It’s quite alarming how he seemed to have information about my medical background.2 yearsI received a rather peculiar call from someone who claimed to be aware of health concerns affecting either myself or someone residing at my address. Curious about where he'd obtained such sensitive details, I probed further, only for him to mention a 'list' without any clear explanation. I pressed him for the origins of this supposedly comprehensive list since I was keen to uncover who might have violated my privacy. However, he sidestepped my inquiries and persisted in his sales spiel. Despite my repeated attempts to redirect the conversation back to my initial question, he evaded the matter until I finally decided to end the call myself!2 yearsI got a call from this number but they just hung up without saying anything. Seriously no clue who it might be!2 yearsJust a heads up, it's a scam so best not to answer or ring them back.2 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be Sam, who insisted I was eligible for an SOS pendant according to their database. When I questioned why I would need one, he condescendingly remarked, “You wouldn’t want to be disconnected from your lifeline, would you?” This struck a nerve, as I’ve been grappling with mental health challenges. In a moment of frustration, I retorted that being on their list meant if I ever decided to take drastic measures, I'd simply press the button and an ambulance would show up to assist. Quite predictably, they ended the call abruptly!Sam2 yearsTotal scam! Could be really risky, especially if someone has health problems.2 yearsThis number called me earlier today. The bloke on the end said his name was Sam and he was selling some sort of medical alert system. I told him I’m a detective and asked him to hang on a moment cos we were just dealing with a murder scene. Then I started quizzing him about what his connection was to the victim and where he’d been the night before. He quickly ended the call… absolutely cracking!Sam2 yearsDidn’t pick up 'cause the number looked a bit iffy, and no voicemail was left either.2 yearsAs soon as I answered, the call just dropped out.2 yearsToday, my mother-in-law got a call from this number. She’s got dementia and just recently came out of hospital. They were talking about some kind of £1 daily fee for something, but she couldn’t really recall what it was. Luckily, she ended the call pretty quick.2 yearsGot a cold call from a bloke who called himself Sam. He said he'd been given info that I might be eligible for one of those medical alert pendants due to my health. I told him he’d got the wrong details. He was polite, said he understood and wished me a nice evening before hanging up. Have told my elderly folks to watch out as these calls seem to be going around.Sam2 yearsI answered but there was silence on the other end. Ended up blocking the number.2 yearsGot a ring from this number around 9:30 in the morning on 12/04. A voice said, "Hi, this is Sam," then nothing for like 10 seconds. I asked, "What do you want?" He said he was calling from Medi Alert and claimed they could provide me with a free medical alert device since I supposedly have a health issue. His voice was really unsure and shaky. I told him straight up, "You’re a scammer, goodbye." If you’ve got a real medical condition, watch out - this has to be some sort of con.SamMedi Alert2 yearsGot a call about a medical alert pendant, said it was because of my health issues. When I asked how they knew that, the caller claimed I was on a list of folks over 70 with medical problems. Neither is correct. When I pressed where they got that info, they just started their sales spiel and wouldn’t stop even when I said “please stop.” In the end, they just hung up on me. Bit of a shame, I wanted one for my dog actually.2 yearsI got a call earlier from someone asking for my bank info about some kind of emergency alarm. I just hung up straight away.2 yearsI picked up the phone and just said hello, didn’t add anything else. After a bit, a guy with a posh English accent spoke up, claiming he worked in health care somewhere near my area. Trouble was, the number wasn’t actually from my postcode, so I just stayed quiet and waited. Eventually, I ended the call because he seemed like he expected me to say something during the gaps. Blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a ring from this number a minute ago. The person on the other end was going on about some big medical crisis I supposedly had. I tried to say something, but he just kept blabbing his rehearsed spiel, so I ended the call. Couldn't help asking if his mum would be chuffed with how he talks to folks!2 yearsJust got a call from this number around 5 minutes ago. I said hello but no one picked up or said anything. Strange!2 yearsFirst they check if you can hear them, then launch into some rehearsed spiel. Their goal is to get you to say 'Yes' so they can record it and use it in a scam later on.2 yearsGot a random call out of the blue. I picked up pretending to be a business, and this young guy with a thick accent started talking. When I told him I wasn’t interested, he just said “I respect your choice” and hung up right away. Clearly trying to get me to ring back, but no chance! Definitely a scammer. Blocked and trashed the number.2 yearsI usually don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise. I’m registered with the TPS, so this number really shouldn’t have been calling me in the first place.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a dodgy call about some medical alert thing. Sounded like it might have been one of those AI robocalls, cause the person just kept repeating the same stuff with no change at all. Best advice, just ignore it!2 yearsGot a call that just said hello and then went dead quiet - definitely a scam!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a healthcare worker nearby, saying I could get a fall alert device. When I asked where they got my number from (I’m with the NHS), they just dropped the call.2 yearsIn just a couple of days, I’ve gotten calls from different numbers, but same scammers all from N. Ireland. It’s odd how quickly they switch numbers!Northern Ireland2 yearsTotal scams, watch out!2 yearsI stayed quiet and suddenly a guy’s voice asked, “Are you able to hear me clearly?” I replied, “Is this some kind of scam?” Then he said, “I’m Sam, working in healthcare near you, can you hear me alright?” I just hung up after that.Sam2 yearsTrying to scam me, total fraud.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Sam, who said he’s a local doctor or something. He kept asking if I could hear him alright. He was going on about me maybe needing a medical alert ‘cause of some condition I supposedly have. I told him no cheers. The call was weird, loads of awkward silences and long pauses before he spoke again. I’m on the TPS list, so really shouldn’t be getting calls like this.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsThis morning I got a call from some lad asking if I could hear him alright. I said yes, but then nothing - just dead quiet. I kept saying “hello” but no reply. Sounds like another one of those dodgy calls from BT’s blacklist. Honestly, these annoying calls drive me nuts. Didn’t they promise to cut down on cold calls? What happened to that?BT2 yearsGot a call today from a number I hadn't seen before. This bloke with a posh English accent asked if I could hear him alright, but then I just caught loads of background noise like phones ringing and people talking. So I just hung up. I looked up the area code since it was unfamiliar, and wasn’t shocked to find out it’s likely a scam number.2 yearsAbout ten minutes ago I got a call from a woman who asked if I could hear her alright. She then claimed to be from some solar energy company down in South West London. I told her that was quite far from where I live. There was a bit of a pause and then she just said thanks for my time and ended the call. I was just about to hang up myself, seemed like just another scam call to me.South West London2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from a healthcare company, offering me a free medical alert. I had a bad feeling about it, so I just ended the call straight away! Pretty sure it was a scam.2 yearsThis was definitely a scam, no doubt about it.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be Sam from some health care company. He said something about me having health issues and needing a medical alert system. I told him I’m fine, hung up straight away and blocked the number. I’m signed up with the TPS, so these calls shouldn’t be happening - they’re basically breaking the rules!SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsThis number called me about a fortnight ago, but I just ignored it and let it go to voicemail. Won't be picking up if it rings again.2 yearsGot a call from a Newcastle area code, this bloke asked if I could hear him, then just stayed silent with some office chatter going on behind. I ended up hanging up, seemed fishy to me like a scam.Newcastle2 yearsI answered a call from a Peterborough number, but as soon as I said hello, the caller just dropped the call without saying a word.Peterborough2 yearsThe caller said my first name to check if I was there, but then just went quiet when I asked who he was. No response at all.2 yearsDidn’t get any voicemail or anything left behind.2 yearsI've gotten a few calls over the past couple days from someone claiming they found me on some government list of people without solar panels. They kept saying I was on a special database or something. I’m on the TPS and have an ex-directory number, so it was clear to me it was just a scam trying to rope me in.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsToday, this number kept ringing my ex's landline about 9 times. Even after I blocked it, they called back, but the last three digits of the number were changed. Honestly, it's starting to annoy me a lot now.2 yearsGot two calls from this number today, ignored both and then went ahead and blocked it.2 yearsSuch a nuisance, pure spam. Best just to block the number straight away.2 yearsKeeps ringing my landline over and over again without stopping.2 yearsThey hung up straight away as soon as the voicemail picked up.2 yearsAs soon as my answerphone picked up, the caller just disconnected. No idea who that number belongs to anyway.2 yearsI had no idea who was calling so I just let it ring out to voicemail - they ended up hanging up anyway.7 yearsgot a call on my phone from ireland, but i have no contacts out there so i let it go to voicemail. figured if it was really important they'd drop a message or something.Submit Your Own Report (028 4378 0012)
