Reports on phone number 02843780231
3 monthsGot a call from this number earlier today at about 10:30am UK time. It left a voicemail where all they said was "hello." From what I’ve found online, it seems to be linked to some kind of medical scam. The weird thing is, this site says the number is inactive, but it definitely rang through.UK2 yearsMy answering machine picked it up, but they didn’t bother to leave a message.2 yearsGot a call from 02843780231 on 18th June 2024 about 4.33pm, but the second my answering machine started they hung up straight away. Feels like some kind of scam or just plain harassment? Not sure what their game is.2 yearsGot a call from a number starting with 0284, but I ignored it since I have no connections up in Northern Ireland and figured it was best to block it.Northern Ireland2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they knew my health background and was pushing an emergency alarm pendant that apparently costs money. Every time I tried to speak or ask something, they just talked over me - really weird. In the end, I just ended the call. I've registered with TPS, so how on earth do these jokers still get hold of my number? Clearly just a scam to trick vulnerable folks into handing over money. When will the authorities finally step in and stop these scammers from taking advantage and profiting from this rubbish?Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call from this number around 2.44pm today. A guy named Simon said he was our neighbourhood health advisor. He mentioned he knew about my wife's health issues and offered a pendant for free, but said there would be a weekly fee of £1.92 for the service. This was actually the second time he’s rung us today; the first was earlier at about 9.50am, but that time he called from 01313670787.Simon2 yearsAbout quarter of an hour ago, I got a call from a bloke named Sam. He claimed their files show I have some health issue, so suggested a pendant alarm could help me. He kept going on and on about the costs and wouldn’t really take a hint to stop. Quite pushy, really.Sam2 yearsGot a random call from some bloke named "Sam" - quite the coincidence how that sounds like SCAM, huh? Definitely dodgy, so I went ahead and blocked the number.Sam2 yearsI picked up and spoke with a polite gentleman who said their files showed I might need a pendant alarm for some health reason. I tried to explain otherwise, but he wasn’t having any of it, so I just ended the call.2 yearsI got a ring from 02843780231 earlier today, not sure if it was from a mobile or a landline. When I picked up, all I could hear was some rustling like paper. The person then asked if I could hear them properly. I asked who was calling, and all I got was an “oh, alright” before the call just ended. Quite strange if you ask me!!!2 yearsThe guy sounded quite young, polite and spoke properly, but it was clear he had no clue what he was on about. He mentioned having some list with about 60 to 80 people supposedly needing a personal alarm. Refused to tell me who he was working for or where they got my details from. Wouldn't let me get a word in! I had to raise my voice and tell him to shut up and listen but he just kept repeating the same thing from his script. In the end, I ended the call!2 yearsSeems like a dodgy medical scam to me.2 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s well into her 80s, got a call about some emergency alarm system that costs more than a quid a day. But when I answered for her, the bloke switched up his manner right away. I kept pressing him with loads of questions, and in the end, he just went and hung up on me!2 yearsMy landline got a ring from 02843780231. Usually, my mobile gets all the scam calls, so it was odd to get one at home. A bloke started talking, but he was mumbled and pretty hard to understand. Just as I was about to answer properly, he cut off the call!2 yearsGot a call about a free emergency medical pendant, but it was totally fishy. The voice didn't sound human at all, and every time I asked something, it just repeated the same info over and over, never really answering. Feels like a scam to me. Best to just end the call straight away if you get one of these.2 yearsI got a call from someone called Sam who said I’m eligible for a call service pendant. I told him I’d confirm with my doctor’s surgery first.Sam2 yearsGot a bothersome call earlier, sorted it by blocking the number now.2 yearsThis number rang me up earlier today. They started asking how I was feeling, but I didn’t answer any of that. After that, they attempted to pitch some sort of care alert button. Being 82 and quite vulnerable, it seemed like it could’ve been a legit call. I decided to hang up before I shared any personal info.2 yearsOnce again, those 0284 numbers have just wasted my time. Honestly, they should be taken off the exchange because they cause nothing but trouble.2 yearsOn 17/06/2024, I got a call on my landline from this number. Some bloke who said his name was "Sam" answered. My daughter just ended the call straight away.Sam2 yearsThis number’s popped up a few times and I always just let it ring out. Don’t bother picking up.2 yearsEnded up with nothing but quiet, then a voice asking, "Hello, are you there?"... and then nothing again. Definitely a scam.2 yearsI wasn’t prepared to say ‘yes’ straight away today, and they clearly weren’t expecting that sort of response. All I got was the same line over and over, “Hi, I’m Sam, your local health advisor.” If you give a reply they don’t expect, you’ll quickly realise they’re not genuine. It’s so obviously a scam aimed at exploiting older folks.Sam2 yearsI just let it go to voicemail and when my security message kicked in, I ended the call right away.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be a health professional named Sam. He sounded like he was struggling to stick to whatever script he was using. I told him straight up that this smelled like a scam and ended the chat there.Sam2 yearsThe caller claimed to be from the local healthcare community, but it sounded a bit off to me.2 yearsI received a strange call from someone purporting to be a health care advisor, insisting that they had details about a health issue of mine-which is rather baffling because I’m in perfect health! They went on about how I qualify for a complimentary medical alert pen. Quite the cheeky con, if you ask me!2 yearsI never pick up for these calls since they never bother to drop a voicemail.2 yearsEnded the call as soon as I asked for their name. Total scam.2 yearsSounds like a clear scam, they were just reading off a script. When I asked them to say what they’d just said again, they didn’t respond. They were pushing some sort of medical alert pendant. Pretty sure it was an automated call, so I just ended it and blocked the number.2 yearsThey kept insisting that I needed some sort of care service and wanted me to get a call assist pendant. I told them I’m perfectly fine and don’t have any medical problems, so I wasn’t interested at all. But the person was really pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer. After a while, I just ended the call.2 yearsGot a call earlier from a bloke with a British accent claiming he was some sort of health advisor for my region. He started rattling on about how I had loads of health problems (which I don’t) and that I use a personal alarm (which I defo don’t). The weirdest part is he knew all this incorrect stuff but never actually said my name once. When I told him he’d got the wrong number, he just hung up on me. Proper scammers, beware!2 yearsThis bloke was pushing some kind of emergency pendant and wouldn’t say where he got my details from - he reckoned I was 'vulnerable' or something. I asked a few times about his source but he just brushed it off. In the end, I just cut the call short.2 yearsGot a call from 028437 80231 this afternoon, 13/06/24 around 12:20pm, but as soon as I picked up, the line just cut out. Bit strange really.2 yearsWhen I asked them how they got my number, they immediately dodged the question and ended the call super fast. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.2 yearsGot a call from a landline but didn’t know the number so I just didn’t pick up. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either. Blocked it straight away!2 yearsGot a call from this number around 9:30 in the morning but didn’t pick up, and they just ended the call.2 yearsMy elderly mum was nearly caught out by a scammer who called her.2 yearsGOT A CALL BUT AS SOON AS I PICKED UP, THEY HUNG UP WITHOUT SAYING A WORD, MIGHT'VE BEEN MY VOICEMAIL KICKING IN. AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER REVIEWS, SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A SCAM. BLOCKED THE NUMBER NOW.MACHINE2 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Sam who said he was a health worker local to me. I just hung up straight away and have blocked his number since then.Sam2 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying he had a list of elderly folks who needed to have a medical alert pendant. When I asked him where he got the list from, he couldn’t give me an answer. I kept pressing him about where his info came from, and then he just ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from someone who said his name was Sam, said he got my number because supposedly I’m “over 70” and have “a medical condition.” He said he was ringing from some company in Dorset, called the SOS Button Centre, trying to sell me an emergency pendant thing. When I asked where they got my details from, he wouldn’t say, just kept going on about being Trading Standards approved - which is total rubbish. Was really rude and super pushy. Definitely a scammer, no doubt about it. Quality low-life behaviour.SamSOS Button Centre2 yearsWas a bit off putting, sounded like they were from some legit health service. The overly cheerful tone felt a bit fake to me. When I didn’t respond the way they seemed to want, they just hung up. Not keen on it at all.2 yearsGot a voicemail saying my credit card was charged multiple times today, first one being £300 on Amazon. Hung up straight away, honestly, these scammers need to be shut down.Amazon2 yearsI got a call from this number but they didn’t say anything or leave a message. Pretty sure it’s just some kind of scam.2 yearsThis eveng had a rang and the line was really poor, but I could just about hear them mention a “call button free” thing that would cost me over a quid. Seemed kinda believable but I just ended up hanging up.2 yearsGot a call from a bloke who sounded pretty nervous, saying he was ringing from a health centre and pushing some sort of emergency alert pendant. He reckoned I was over 60 and had medical problems, then went on about how the pendant worked. I told him I already knew what it was, but he just kept going on about the daily fees and stuff. In the end, I just hung up on him. Feels like he might’ve been a rookie trying to scam people.2 yearsGot a ring from a number I didn’t know, but they never left a voicemail. Just ended up blocking it.2 yearsI’ve got a BT phone and I’ve set it up so any calls from numbers I don't know go straight to my voicemail. That’s exactly what happened here - the call got sent to voicemail and the person just hung up right away.2 yearsGot a call this morning from someone called Sam claiming to be a healthcare assistant offering a free medical alert alarm. I wasn’t polite and told him exactly what I thought of it before hanging up. Funny enough, it was the same bloke Sam who rang last week about some windows and doors offer and I gave him the same reply. Both numbers are now on my block list.Sam2 yearsDidn’t pick up the call, had a quick look on this site and yep, just as I suspected - total scam 🙄2 yearsThis was one of those quiet calls with no one on the other end. I've added the number to my block list now.2 yearsMy home phone rang but I didn’t pick up. Ended up blocking the number.2 yearsI received a rather persistent phone call from this chap claiming to be a health consultant named Adam, who had a rather posh English accent. He insisted he was working "in my area" and mentioned that due to my supposed health issues, I was eligible for a medic alert system. I attempted to politely convey my disinterest, but he wouldn’t take a hint and kept blathering on. It felt like he was just reciting lines from a script, completely oblivious to my attempts to end the conversation. In the end, I just decided to hang up on him. Quite a motormouth, that one!Adam2 yearsSome bloke with a posh English accent, calling himself Adam, rang me up asking for me like he knew me and claimed he was a "health consultant nearby". He said that since I had some health problems, I qualified for a free medical alert device (which they definitely don't give out free). He just wouldn't stop yapping, even after I told him I wasn't interested and told him to cut it out. Proper chatterbox, you could tell he was reading off some script and wouldn't budge from it. I ended the call.Adam2 yearsThey rang a few times but never said anything or left a voicemail.2 yearsAbsolutely relentless, kept ringing me non-stop!2 yearsI got a call but there was nothing said the whole time, so I have no clue what they were after.2 yearsLooks like a total scam to me!2 yearsGot a call from Newcastle, Northern Ireland today. Definitely a scammer trying their luck.NewcastleNorthern Ireland2 yearsGot a call showing Newcastle from Northern Ireland, they claimed to be from some citizen aid group. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.NewcastleNorthern IrelandCitizens Help2 yearsThis number rang me on Monday around 4.48pm, the caller ID showed Newcastle, County Durham. I’m not familiar with anyone from that area so I chose not to pick up. I was kinda hoping they would leave a voicemail but nothing came through. I’m currently expecting some calls about potential jobs, so I was really torn about whether to answer or not.Newcastle County Durham2 yearsJunk call.2 yearsYet another woman with a heavy Indian accent, struggling with her English, claimed she was ringing from some place called prime uk. She kept begging me to hear her out for a quick 20 seconds. That instantly made me suspicious, so I ended the call and blocked the number straight away. These sorts of calls really ought to be illegal. Everyone knows they’re scams, but many older or vulnerable folks could easily fall for their tricks.IndiaPrime UK2 yearsI never pick up this number coz I have no idea who it is and probably never will.2 yearsJust another spam call.2 yearsThey claimed to be from UK Now and insisted it wasn’t a sales pitch. This was the second day in a row they called, but yesterday they said the call came from Glasgow, not Northern Ireland. When I asked to be removed from their list, he said they hadn’t called before. The guy had a really thick Indian accent and said his name was Oisin - which seems a bit dodgy if you ask me. I told him to buzz off and he cheekily replied with “you too.” 😬UK NowGlasgowNorthern Ireland2 yearsI didn’t answer the call and there was no voicemail either. I’m not familiar with this location or anyone around here.Submit Your Own Report (028 4378 0231)
