07488865118 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 07488865118 👆 is reported as a number associated with the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust sending genuine appointment reminders via text, allowing patients to confirm, cancel, or reschedule. However, multiple users have flagged suspicious activity including calls with prerecorded voices asking recipients to press buttons, calls that disconnect on answer, and messages referencing appointments not actually booked. Some reports suggest scammers are spoofing this NHS number to impersonate banking or medical services, possibly due to data breaches, creating confusion and concern over privacy. While many confirmations appear legitimate, caution is advised; users should verify appointments through official NHS channels and avoid providing personal information via calls or texts from unfamiliar sources. Blocking or ignoring suspicious calls is recommended.

Definitely not a scam, was an honest call from my local hospital just reminding me about my appointment.

I 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.

This 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.

Got 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!

I 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.

Got 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.

These scams are really worrying, especially for anyone expecting an appointment. The government seriously needs to step in and put an end to all this.

Got 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.

Just 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

Got 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Nigel 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.

Have 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.

No, 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.

Got 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.

This 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.

Just 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.

I 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.

It 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.
