02843780085 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02843780085 👆 is reported as a persistent source of suspicious and unsolicited calls, often targeting elderly or vulnerable individuals. Callers claim to be health workers offering free or discounted medical alert devices, frequently invoking personal health information they cannot verify. Many recipients, despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), report calls that involve scripted sales pitches, silence, hang-ups, or high-pressure tactics. The number is also linked to attempts to sell solar panels and conduct dubious surveys. Users strongly advise blocking this number due to repeated calls, silences, and refusal to identify the company. Regulatory bodies like the ICO and TPS have been mentioned, but the nuisance persists, raising concerns about potential breaches of data protection and consumer safety.
Reports on phone number 02843780085
11 monthsTotal rip off!2 yearsGot a random call (I'm on the TPS list) and the person started with "We're contacting homeowners nearby about some new laws that might impact you - am I talking to the homeowner?" I asked back, "Which property exactly?" and then the call just cut off... pretty clear it was a scam!TPS2 yearsFake health call, total scam.2 yearsA well-spoken lady called offering discounted solar panels for folks over 55. When I told her I wasn’t interested, she just repeated the exact same thing like she was reading off a script. Then she asked me to spell my last name, but I refused and said again I wasn’t interested. After that, she just hung up. I’m on the TPS list, but honestly it seems to make no difference. This definitely feels like a scam to me.Service2 yearsCalled me when I wasn’t home... didn’t leave any message... that always seems a bit dodgy!2 yearsI've received a rather peculiar call from someone claiming to be a health professional. They mentioned having access to my medical history and proposed a discounted health assessment. Quite the unusual approach, I must say!2 yearsThey were really pushy with selling those medical alarms, so I just told them to get lost.2 yearsGot a call claiming I was on some list and qualified for a personal alarm because I’m supposedly over 70! That’s not true at all! I asked where they found my number since I’m on the TPS and never give my details out online. The bloke just went quiet, wouldn’t say who he was calling from, didn’t hang up either. I jotted down the number and ended the call. Definitely a dodgy scam.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsThis number called my mum who’s quite old and started asking about her health. They said they could assist her and then asked for her bank information. Unfortunately, she gave it to them. Luckily, we cancelled her card straight away. Just be careful, this is a huge scam. Don’t trust this company!2 yearsI ignored the call since the number was unfamiliar. Im on the TPS list but seems like it didnt stop them?Telephone Preference ServiceTPS2 yearsGot called four times from this number and two others very similar, even tho I’m on the tps list. I never pick up if I don’t know the number. Every call began with 02843800, just the last two digits were different.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call about an emergency pendant alert for my wife. Was polite and declined, but they just hung up and now I've blocked the number. Feels like older folks could easily fall for this sort of thing. Bit strange getting this call though since we're on the TPS list.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be a local health representative. I told them they shouldn’t be ringing because we’re registered on the TPS, then just hung up.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call back from a woman with a prerecorded message saying she was from Lifeline Alarms.Lifeline Alarms2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were a health worker and claiming my records showed I had health problems, then tried to sell me a free alert pendant. I told them I already had one but they wouldnt listen, so I just told them to **** off and hung up.2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam who said I had some hidden health problems, and they wanted to give me a 'free' personal alarm because of it. I told him to quit following his script and just hang up.Sam2 yearsReceived a call on my home phone from an unknown number. Didn’t answer right away, letting it ring to see if they’d give up. When it kept ringing, I finally picked it up and there was nothing but silence for a good 20 seconds. I stayed quiet as well, then the call just ended. Figured it was probably some kind of scam or spam, so I blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call on my landline but didn’t pick up - looked up the number here and seems like it’s one of those dodgy medical alert scams.2 yearsThis number rang on our home phone. I paused before saying anything. Nobody replied and then the call just ended abruptly.2 yearsGot a call from someone pushing a personal alarm, claimed to be from a local health service. When I asked which one, he just clammed up. Seems like they’re targeting older folks and it’s got to be stopped.2 yearsThey claimed to be from a healthcare company that provides alarms for folks with health issues to help them get in touch with relatives and mates more easily. I told them to buzz off and blocked the number on my home phone.2 yearsGot a call on my landline from this number but just ignored it. Later I looked it up here and saw it was a scam. Now I never pick up the house phone without looking up the number first.2 yearsSomebody rang sayin they was a local health worker but I’m in Brighton and the call was from Northern Ireland. I just ended the call straight away.BrightonNorthern Ireland2 yearsThey said I had some kind of health problem and should get this pendant thing. Totally sounded dodgy, so I just hung up and blocked the number.2 yearsThe person calling got really rude when my wife didn’t give them what they wanted, then just hung up. This number really ought to be banned since we can’t block it.2 yearsThey said it was a 'free' medical alert pendant, but honestly, nothing comes without a cost.2 yearsI received a rather suspicious call from someone claiming to be a “health consultant”. He mentioned something about me being in need of a health alert pendant and bracelet, referring to a list he presumably had. Naturally, I inquired how he came by my personal details, but he cleverly dodged the question and just kept pushing the sales pitch. To give him credit, when I made it clear I wasn’t interested, he wrapped up the conversation rather swiftly. However, it does make one wonder-what if I had been someone more susceptible?2 yearsI got a call from a guy claiming he was a health worker nearby and began chatting about some emergency device that was supposedly free. He even told me I had certain health issues! I told him he’d reached the wrong person but he just kept cutting me off and wouldn’t listen. I kept saying he had the wrong number, then he suddenly hung up. When I looked up the number, it wasn’t even from around here. Definitely seemed like a dodgy scam to me.2 yearsTotally a scam, loads of awkward silences between what they said. Maybe some sort of AI, but not convincing at all. I asked straight up how they got my GDPR consent to use my medical details and they just gave me the silent treatment. Ended up blocking the number.2 yearsSome bloke called me claiming he’s got a list of folks needing a medical alert button. He wouldn’t say where he got the numbers or who gave him the details, just felt like a proper scam, trying to take advantage of older people.2 yearsThere was loads of lag and a lot of static noise in the background. The person said they were from local health care and told me I had long-term health problems, which isn’t true, and said I qualified for an emergency pendant. I knew they were making it up because I have no such conditions and no local health advisor contacts me. Seemed like a scam so I just ended the call and blocked the number.2 yearsI didn't pick up, the area code looked sketchy, probably a scam.2 yearsSome bloke called Sam said he’s my local health care worker (surely that’s not allowed?). Then he tried to freak me out with something like, “You wouldn’t want to be on your own if there was a medical emergency, right?” I reckon they’re picking on older folks or people with health issues. How are they even getting that info? We’re signed up with TPS, this must be breaking those rules.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call about a free energy check. Seems like they cover all sorts, health and energy and who knows what else next?2 yearsThis bloke said his name was Sam and claimed he was ringing about some kind of medical alert pendant, saying I had health issues and might want help if required, ya know? He said he worked in healthcare. I asked who passed on my details and which firm he was with. Then the same voice switched to some recorded spiel about how much this gadget cost. I hung up there and then. Definitely a scammer.Sam2 yearsThis number's been calling me for days straight. Haven't picked up once.2 yearsFrom Guildford, Surrey here. Got a call from a bloke with a UK accent who said he was a local health adviser. He told me I qualified for a free emergency alarm pendant.GuildfordSurrey2 yearsHad a call from this company again, something about solar panels, using the same 02843 prefix. This time it was on my other phone, but I didnt pick up. Used 1471 to check, then blocked the number. Pretty sure it was a Jane who rang yesterday.Jane2 yearsFraud. Some bloke ringing up tryin to sell medical alert devices by scaring people. Really hope they don’t target folks who are easily worried.2 yearsGot a call today, answered it without giving it much thought, but the caller hung up as soon as I said hello.2 yearsGot a call earlier today saying because of my health problems I qualify for a free emergency medical alarm, I told the bloke there’s no such thing as free these days, then ended the call. Definitely a SCAM.2 yearsI picked up but no one was actually on the other end.2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, but I didn’t answer and checked it out afterwards. Turns out it’s likely a medical related scam.2 yearsEnded the call right after picking up. Definitely one of those scam calls again.2 yearsSam - Claimed to be a local healthcare professional about a medical alert system.2 yearsGot two calls today from this number, picked up but no one said anything... probably scammers I reckon... 028437800852 yearsSaid they were a health visitor, but really were just pushing alarm systems. The call was made to a very vulnerable person, aged 102, who got completely misled.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they worked in medical services. Sounded quite shaky and unsure. They tried to sell me some sort of emergency alert pendant, saying I was eligible because of my age. Didn’t know anything about me or any health problems. They even guessed my age wrong. After a short chat of about 4 minutes, they just gave up. Definitely a scam. This sort of thing could really trick elderly or vulnerable folks.2 yearsNo voicemail was left, I reckon it was a scam call.2 yearsThere’s a dodgy medical service operating around here.2 yearsgot a call today claiming to be from a healthcare company saying I qualify for a free alarm for falls, like a pendant or a watch. they mentioned it would cost about £1.70 a day for one type and £1.30 a day for another. I said I wasn’t interested and asked them to send me info, then they just hung up. feels like they’re going after elderly and people who might not be able to defend themselves.2 yearsGot a call about a medical alert button but they didn’t mention the company name. Seemed alright when explaining it, stuff I already saw in a local pamphlet. Number started with 02843, so looks like it’s from Ireland. They weren’t pushy but I’m a bit doubtful, feels a bit dodgy to me.Ireland2 yearsDidn’t answer cause the number looked unfamiliar and I was already on a call. Just read through the comments and have now blocked it. We’re also on the TPS list.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsDidn’t pick up, ended up blocking the number.2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier on my home phone. I wasn’t in to answer and they didn’t leave any voicemail. Sam seems like someone trying to take advantage!Sam2 yearsGot a call about 10 mins back from someone called 'Jane' offering a free quote for solar panels. When I asked how she got my number, she said it was from some public database. Problem is, I’ve been signed up to the TPS for over a decade now. When I told her I wasn't interested, she immediately started going on about rising electricity prices and it was obvious she wasnt gonna give up easily.JaneTPS2 yearsSome guy called himself Sam, talking about some medical alert pendant emergency. The line was really slow so I got suspicious and just ended the call. Voice was polite and clear, but definitely didn’t sound like he was from Northern Ireland, which is where I think the number came from.SamNorthern Ireland2 yearsJust like the one mentioned earlier. Definitely a medical fraud.2 yearsJust received a call from a woman around half five this evening. She mentioned something regarding solar energy. I promptly ended the call without further ado.2 yearsDidn’t pick up as didn’t know the number. Honestly, OFCOM needs to step up and sort these nuisance calls out, especially when we’ve signed up for TPS.OFCOMTelephone Preference Service2 yearsCo. Down number showed up, but defo no Co. Down accent, sounded more like posh Southern parts. It was a health care call, about me supposedly being eligible for some emergency alert pendant. As if I really need that! There were these awkward long pauses and they sounded really unsure. Ended up just hanging up. Smells like a scam to me.County DownSouthern Counties2 yearsGot a call from someone named Sam, said he was a healthcare worker in my area. He asked if I was okay or anything. It felt kinda off, so I just ended the call.Sam2 yearsI received a rather posh call from a gentleman claiming to be Sam, who introduced himself as a local health care worker in my area. He proceeded to chat about some sort of alarms, making me feel a tad uneasy as he queried, "You wouldn’t want to find yourself in a medical emergency, would you?" I felt quite pressured by his tone. I informed him that we were registered with the Telephone Preference Service and requested him to take our number off their call list. However, when I picked up the phone later to block the number, he was still on the line! Strangely, he sounded eerily similar to a Sam I’ve encountered before, representing a windows and doors firm that has bombarded us with calls.SamTelephone Preference Service2 yearsLodge a report with the ICO, that is, the Information Commissioner's Office. They then forward the details to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).ICOInformation Commissioner ' s Office2 yearsYou should report it to the ICO, the Information Commissioner's Office, they then forward the details to the TPS, which is the Telephone Preference Service.Information Commissioner ' s OfficeICOTelephone Preference ServiceTPS2 years02843780085 A rather posh chap rang me earlier. He introduced himself as Sam, claiming to be a healthcare worker for folks in my area. He started talking about alarms and tried to instil a bit of fear by saying, “You wouldn’t fancy finding yourself in a medical pickle, would you?” I must admit, it made me feel quite uneasy. I informed him that we’re registered with TPS and requested he take our number off his list. But when I attempted to block the number a bit later, lo and behold, he was still on the line! He had the same tone as that Sam who has persistently called us about windows and doors. Quite the nuisance, really!SamTPS2 yearsSome guy rang me saying he was a Health agent from around here. Felt fishy, so I told him it was a scam and hung up.2 yearsGot a call from 02843780085, a bloke who sounded quite posh. Said his name was Sam and claimed to be a local healthcare worker for our area. He was going on about alarms and asked, "You wouldn’t wanna be stuck in a medical emergency, right?" Honestly, it made me feel a bit uneasy. I told him we’re registered with TPS and asked him to take our number off his list. But when I picked up later to block the number, he was still there! Seemed like the same Sam who’s been ringing us loads before, but then from some windows and doors firm.Telephone Preference ServiceSam2 yearsGot another call with no one on the other end.2 yearsAt first I thought it was someone from the local Health Care office. There were some long pauses during the call though. I ended up hanging up and blocking the number.2 yearsGot a call about healthcare, said they were nearby but turned out they weren't at all.

They will forward your details to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).Information Commissioner ' s OfficeICOPreference ServiceTPS2 yearsDefinitely a healthcare related scam.

The guy claimed to be some kind of health official in my area. He asked if I was alright, then went quiet for ages so I ended the call. Looked it up later and turns out its a scam. Not very trustworthy at all.2 yearsI’m a health care worker from your area and I’ve checked your details which say you’ve got some health problems (which is a fib) so you qualify for an emergency alert pendant... You wouldn’t want to be caught without one if something happens, right?!7 yearsHoped to figure out what this number is from reading the comments here but no luck, nobody seems to know. We get calls from them pretty much twice a day and got fed up so answered once, but either no one spoke or they just hung up. Why do they keep calling if they're not going to say anything? It's so annoying!7 yearsnew boiler sales? nah, blocked their calls straight away7 yearsNever caught the company name. My partner picked up and they asked for me by my full name. When he asked who was calling, they said something about a company helping with energy bill savings. He replied I wasn’t in, then they asked if he was Mr full name. He said he wasn’t interested and hung up. Proper annoying when you're just waiting for news from the family.7 yearsWhy no answer ? So irritating honestly.7 yearsThey've rang me loads but never leave a message, so I’m just gonna block the number now.7 yearsCalls me daily, had to put them on block now.7 yearsI picked up but didn’t even say hi.
