I got a call earlier from a bloke with an 051 number saying I should get a pendant alarm. Same guy ringing me again.

Just like loads of others have said, this number kept ringing me to pitch some kind of medical alert system. Definitely best to ignore and just end the call.

I got a call from someone saying I qualified for a medical alert pendant. When I asked for more info, they just kept repeating the same thing I'd already heard. I tried asking where they were from, but they kept going over the same lines yet again. After the third time, I told them I reckoned it was a scam, mentioned I already had one of those devices, said I’d report the call, and then ended it.
2 years
Heard about some medical assistance nearby, but turned out to be a scam, so I just hung up. Definitely a dodgy medical call.

Got a call and he asked if I could hear him. I said yeah and asked what he needed but he just stayed silent, so I ended it. After reading what others said, glad I didn’t hang about.

Got a call through on my home phone from someone who said his name was Sam and that he was a healthcare worker nearby. Turned out to be one of those call centre calls. I told the bloke it sounded like a scam before I cut him off and blocked the number.

The phone rang and my husband picked up. The person on the other end tried to sell a medical alert pendant. My husband quickly ended the call. I worry this kind of call might be risky, especially for people living alone and who might be vulnerable.

Got a call from someone saying they were ‘Sam, your local health worker’ talking about personal alarms. Seemed dodgy to me, so I just ended the call. Best not to get involved with these types, just hang up straight away.

This number rang me at about 9.46 this morning. Luckily, my 'Call Guardian' picked up straight away and the caller hung up before saying a word. I looked it up here and it turns out to be yet another spammer. Once again, my system saved me from a useless call!

I got a call from someone trying to give me a free pendant alarm because apparently they thought I had health problems.

Missed the call but looked up the number afterwards and realised it was a dodgy one, so I've blocked it now.

Got a call claiming it was about a personal alarm for 1.70 a day. It was obviously a recorded message saying I was over 60, which I'm not. I told them no, and then they said something like, "We respect your choice, have a nice day." Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Got a random call about a personal alarm gadget. It was meant for an elderly woman, and honestly, the whole thing just scared her a bit.
2 years
So this bloke rings up saying he's a local health worker and that I'm entitled to some kind of healthcare alert gadget. I asked him how he got my medical details, and he said something about having a list of folks over 70 with medical problems. I told him straight away that I'm younger than 70, plus I work for the NHS, and wanted to know where he was getting his info from. He just kept going on about the device like he was reading from a script. Ended up just hanging up and blocking the number.

Got a call from some place offering a "free" medical alert but then said there’s a daily fee. They’re willing to do anything to trick folks these days, honestly, they can do one!

Somebody said they were "Sam, the local health worker" and claimed my health issue made me eligible for a medical pendant. After that, they just went quiet, so I decided to hang up. Seemed fishy to me.

Got a call from this number again, pretty sure it’s a scam.

They were pushing one of those medical alert devices, trying to convince elderly folks who might not be too aware. Felt a bit dodgy honestly.

This has got to be one of those health insurance scams, no doubt about it.

They rang up saying we qualified for a free check on solar panels. I told them to check their info properly since we’ve had solar panels installed for ages.

Got the same call this morning from 0955. The bloke said he’s a medical worker from North Yorkshire and said I qualify for some lifeline device. I told him if I want one, I’ll get in touch with Lifeline myself. What a terrible scam, preying on old people. Don’t be fooled by it!

Got a call from a scammer trying to sell me stuff. I wasn’t able to pick up, and they kept ringing a few more times when I didn’t answer. Finally decided to block the number.
2 years
Definitely a con! The caller never mentioned who they wanted to speak with or even gave their own name, just claimed to be some sort of health expert from nearby. They said they were aware of my health issues and had been told to get in touch. When I asked exactly who sent them - my local doctor's clinic or the NHS - they refused to answer. Then they tried steering the chat towards medical alert bracelets and clearly weren’t up for answering any further questions. That’s when I just ended the call. Watch out for this dodgy scam targeting older and vulnerable folks!

Looks like a bunch of solar panel fraudsters using this number. Tried ringing them back, but the line just told me it’s been shut down for dodgy business. Could be a fake number they’re spoofing or something.

It’s one of those medical alert systems, so be careful. If you’re looking for info, don't get involved - just end the call straight away.

Don't trust this caller, they claim to be from a medical alert system but they're not really qualified. It's a scam, so best to just block the number and not engage with them at all.

I just had a call from someone named Sam. He wouldn’t say what company he was from or how he got info about some “medical conditions” that I don’t actually have. Oh, and he even guessed the wrong age for me. Very strange!

Got several calls from this number but they just cut off as soon as my answerphone kicked in. It kept ringing a few more times, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now. Told my elderly family and friends about it too - doesn’t seem right to be preying on older folks like that. Proper shameful if you ask me.

Got a call out of the blue from some lot claiming I needed medical kit for an illness I supposedly have, which they oddly already knew about. When I asked where they found my number, the recorded reply was just that I’m “on a list.” Tried ringing them back and all I got was a message saying the number’s been cut off for fraud. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.
2 years
Some bloke phoned me saying he was a health support worker from my local area. He said I was on some kind of list for people with a health condition who should get a medical alert band. Thing is, he didn’t know my name or even where I lived properly - just rattled off the same spiel like a robot. Seemed really dodgy to me.
2 years
Just like everyone else here, I got a call from some bloke claiming to be from my local medical centre or something like that. He wanted to sell me an alarm pendant, but I already wear one since I live in sheltered housing. He even told me I’ve got medical problems, which was a bit weird. Honestly, I’m curious how on earth he got hold of my phone number.

Today I got another call from someone claiming to be the ‘local rep in my area’ - the bloke today was called Sam, yesterday some guy named Paul, and the day before that it was Luke. As soon as they say that line, I just hang up! Seriously fed up with these calls. So irritating!!!!

Got a call from someone who gave his name as Sam, said he was ringing from a health organisation. Claimed I was eligible for a free medical alert pendant because of some health problems, though he wouldn’t specify what exactly. Then he mentioned it was free but would cost £1.30 a day, which made me think it was dodgy. Told him my family sorts all that stuff out for me. He was quite courteous, respected my choice and then ended the call.

Some bloke called me about a free medical alert pendant. I asked who he was trying to reach, but he just stuck to his script like a robot. Then he started on about it costing just £1.70 a day and that rubbish. I told him off proper, but he just kept rambling through his spiel. Can't believe it!

Proper annoying call, to be honest.

I usually don’t pick up calls unless I know the number, lots of times it’s just better to let it go to voicemail. This one came from someone I didn’t recognise and they didn’t bother to leave any message, so I’m guessing it was probably something dodgy.

Got a call from this number, some bloke claiming to be a local health care worker telling me I had loads of health problems or summat.

Like others have said before, he asked if I was listening and then told me I was on some kind of list for folks with health problems and should have a medical alert around my neck.

Absolutely terrible phone call! The bloke claimed he was from the local health service and told me, as someone vulnerable, I could get a FREE medical alert button. I said "No thanks," but he just carried on like I hadn’t spoken. Then he tried to tell me it would only cost £1.70 a day for peace of mind or something like that. I just ended the call there and then!

This bloke started off by asking “can you hear me?” When I asked who was speaking, he claimed to be a local health official. He went on about how I supposedly have health problems, am over 65, and that my name was on some list of folks without a medical alert bracelet. He just kept going in circles saying the same stuff. I told him it wouldn’t be any use for me, then said bye and ended the call. Blocked the number straight away!

I got a call from someone called Sam, supposedly my local health advisor. It didn’t sound like a real person, more like a robot or something.
