2 monthsDefinitely not a scam, was an honest call from my local hospital just reminding me about my appointment.3 monthsI got a text from this number about a proper hospital appointment reminder, so definitely not some kind of scam. It was legit, just a message to remind me.4 monthsThis wasn’t a scam at all. I got a call from Southend Hospital reminding me about an appointment. The number they used is listed on their official website, so it’s legit. I replied back and they sent me a message saying thanks.Southend Hospital5 monthsGot a call earlier about an appointment supposedly moved to tomorrow, but the place was shut when I tried to check. When I rang back, the number just didn’t work. Really wonder where they got my details from!5 monthsI got a call earlier about an appointment supposedly set for today, but they told me it’d been moved to tomorrow - problem is, the place is shut then. When I tried calling the number back, it just wouldn’t connect. Really wondering how they got my details in the first place. The phone number they called from was 077488865118.6 monthsGot loads of texts from this number pretending to be a hospital, booking me for appointments I never asked for. They kept telling me to call them back but I never did. Sounds like a total scam to me.8 monthsI picked up the phone but as soon as I did, the caller just dropped the line...9 monthsGot a call where a recorded voice told me there was a voicemail waiting for me, mentioned my name too. Then all I heard was the ringing sound after that.10 monthsThese scams are really worrying, especially for anyone expecting an appointment. The government seriously needs to step in and put an end to all this.1 yearGot a call from this number around 6 in the evening, but they never left anything on my voicemail. Could be something to do with a doctor's appointment, though I reckon I'd have heard a message if that was the case.1 yearGot a recorded call about my hospital appointment for next week. Just a quick reminder that I chatted with it for a sec then ended the call.1 yearJust so you know, this phone number is linked to Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. According to their website, if you get a text from 07488865118, it’s definitely not a con. They’ve started using this number to send appointment reminders, aiming to cut down on people missing their appointments. It’s a new system they rolled out recently.Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust1 yearIt’s definitely not a scam, just a hospital calling to check on my appointment.1 yearJust got a call pretending to book an NHS appointment, but obviously it was a scam! Watch out for these dodgy calls trying to trick you.NHS1 yearGot a call from some bot pretending to be HSBC, saying they want me to confirm my name by pressing 1, or 2 if it wasn’t me. I just hung up instantly, it was obviously dodgy. The worrying part was that the voice actually called me by my name, which I’ve never had with a scam call before. On top of that, the number was showing as the NHS, so someone’s definitely had their data hacked or leaked. Bit scary how legit it sounded.HSBCNHS1 yearGot a recorded call from someone claiming to be HSBC, saying they had a message for me. They asked me to press 1 if the name was right or 2 if it wasn’t. I pressed 2 and then just got a thanks before the call cut off. Definitely a scam.HSBC1 yearGot a text from 04488 865118 about an appointement coming up, asking me to confirm, cancel or reschedule. I responded and got a thank you message back, but then a few days later I got the same text again. I replied once more since the appointement’s legit. It doesn’t say you’re charged £165 for missing it, it says the NHS loses that amount if you don’t turn up. They had all my details like my name, the department and the date and time, so I reckon it’s the real deal. I’ll update if anything weird shows up, but if it is a scam, that’s pretty concerning.1 yearGot a text asking me to confirm an NHS appointment. What freaked me out was that they had the exact date and time of my next appointment. Makes me think someone might've got into the NHS system and accessed the schedule. Quite concerning if you ask me.1 yearI got a message from them today, no call or anything. It was a nice reminder about my hospital appointment next week and asked me to either CONFIRM, CANCEL or REBOOK it. So, I sent back a reply.1 yearI had an appointment for #### Surgery coming up and got a message from them with the hospital name, date, time and even my full name. The text asked me to reply with CONFIRM, REBOOK or CANCEL. I replied to confirm, but a few days later they sent the exact same message again. Figured it was legit since they had all my appointment details and hospital info, so I answered again.CONFIRMREBOOKCANCEL1 yearNigel Anderson from Brighton is the one behind the Green Posting scam. For years, he’s been sending confusing messages about different text-to-speech landline services that get spoofed and are actually quite risky. It seems like a trick to fool older folks. Definitely a scam number to watch out for.Nigel AndersonBrighton1 yearGot a text asking me to send info about my symptoms for some gynaecologist appointment, clearly dodgy scammers trying to be sneaky.1 yearGot a call from Essex hospital, just an NHS appointment reminder, nothing dodgy or a scam, so don’t worry if you get one. New system they’re using I think.NHSEssex1 yearHave a proper look through the comments here and actually PAY ATTENTION! Not every call or message from an unknown number is some sort of scam. Simply answering your phone won’t get you scammed, all you can do is listen. Same with texts, just open and read them, no harm done. After that point, it’s all about using what’s nowadays quite rare - good old-fashioned common sense.1 yearGot a call from a proper reminder line, Mud and South Essex NHS making sure I don’t miss my appointment.MudSouth Essex NHS2 yearsNo, this isn’t some dodgy scam. It’s actually from mid and south Essex hospital, they make it clear on their official site. So don’t just brush off texts from them just cos some paranoid folks reckon it’s a con. You can check this link they have https://www.mse.nhs.uk/patient-systems for proof.Essex2 yearsGot a call today, 24th Dec at 19:12, but no voicemail or anything. Seems like it could be a scam to me.2 yearsThe day after the hospital rang me about an appointment, I got a call from 07488865118. Since I didn’t know the number, I ignored it and let it go to voicemail. But as soon as it reached the voicemail, the call just disconnected.2 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t pick up cause I usually avoid unknown callers. Then they sent me a text about a hospital appointment. Definitely blocking it now.2 yearsGiving them your info is risky, especially when they start asking for cash. Better be careful!2 yearsGot a call early Sunday morning around 9:15am from a lady with some sort of American accent, but it was a prerecorded message. She was talking about a hospital appointment I supposedly had coming up, which I definitely don’t. Tried ringing the number back but it was just a super quick recorded message that I couldn’t even understand. So, I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number now.2 yearsGot a call on Sunday morning, but no one said a word. Seems like a scam, so I just blocked the number.2 yearsThis number has sent me a few texts before, always as a nudge about hospital appointments. They usually include the hospital’s name, the date, time and which department it’s for. I had an appointment a couple of weeks back for the 7th of October, and just this morning I got a reminder on my main phone too. Seems legit to me - I reckon they're trying to cut down on all those missed appointments that end up costing the NHS loads.NHS2 yearsGot a call saying I had a plastic surgery appointment booked, which I definitely did not. Felt like a total scam to me, so I didn’t bother taking it seriously.2 yearsI just received a message that had my full name in it, saying I’ve got an appointment scheduled for a specific day. It also warned that missing it would cost me £165. Pretty clear it’s a scam, if you ask me.2 yearsJust looked up the number 07488865118 on the MSE site and found out it’s an appointment SMS reminder. If you receive a text from this number, don’t worry, it’s legit. They’re just giving you a heads-up about an appointment coming up in the next two weeks. They’ve started this to help people keep track of their appointments and even let you cancel or reschedule by replying to the message, with standard text charges applying.MSE2 yearsSounds risky, these scammers are pretty lucky because I actually had an appointment booked for the very day they sent me that message.2 yearsGot a voicemail on my home phone, but there was nothing on the message. Went ahead and blocked the number then deleted it.2 yearsI got a text from this number claiming I had a gynae appointment on 06 09 2024 at 11 in the morning, supposedly at my nearest hospital. It felt odd because I've never had any hospital appointments messaged like that, plus the way the date was written was a bit off. I do have a check-up coming up, but when I looked on my NHS app, nothing was booked. Out of curiosity, I searched this number here and loads of others warned it's a scam trying to phish for your info. I’m definitely going to block it; seems like a dodgy number to me.NHS2 yearsCould anyone confirm if the number 07488865118 is associated with someone from Essex? I'm keen to figure out whose number it is.Essex2 yearsI just got a text from this number claiming to be the NHS, requesting that I confirm a cardiology appointment. Oddly enough, I haven't booked any such appointment at all.NHS2 yearsLoads of voicemail calls popping up saying to "press 1". I told my dad not to bother with them.2 yearsWe got a call about rebooking a hospital appointment, but it was definitely a scam. They rang me, not my wife, which is odd since the appointment is hers. No idea how they found my phone number instead of hers!2 yearsOh sure, Mr. Scam, your appointment is all set for the 31st of September!Scammer2 yearsI got a call where they wanted me to press 1 to verify my identity, but I thought it sounded dodgy so I just hung up. After reading the comments here, it seems like it was probably a scam.2 yearsIt seemed like it was something health-related, but I couldn’t quite make out the name. They asked if someone from our house was there and to press 1. When I did, the call just dropped straight away. I tried ringing back but the number didn’t work and I just got a weird buzzing noise. Definitely a dodgy call.2 yearsThey rang my house phone first, but as soon as I hit 1 to verify my name, they switched over and called me on my mobile then.2 yearsMaybe we should just take the scammer to court rather than dealin with it here.2 yearsGot this automated call saying I had an appointment at 1.15 tomorrow, but the rest of the message was just gibberish. I’m pretty sure I didn’t book anything like that. Tried ringing the number it came from but can’t get through at all.2 yearsThey wanted me to press 1 to prove it was really me.2 yearsGot a text saying it’s from the NHS about a cardiology appointment. It said if you don’t show up, you’ll be charged £160. Is this for real? Seems a bit off to me.NHS2 yearsI got a voicemail but it was all garbled and I couldn’t make out which company was calling or what they wanted.
