Sounds dodgy to me. Anyone else get this? Could it be a scam?5 yearsMy dad got a call today from someone claiming to be the NHS, asking for his bank details so they could supposedly carry out some work for him. When he told them he wasn't interested, they quickly turned rude. He ended the call, but then they rang back straight away and he had to actually unplug the phone to stop them.NHS5 yearsGot a voicemail from this number 01202159740, said something about a free medical alert system worth more than £200. I didn’t bother calling back, seemed a bit dodgy to me.5 yearsGot called about a 'free' medical alert thing, but turns out it was just a complete rip-off. Don't fall for it!5 yearsThey were trying to sell me this medical gadget or something like that.5 yearsGot the same voicemail - do you reckon it’s just a random chance that I’m in the age group that could actually want that kind of gadget?5 yearsJust like others have said, we’re on the do not call list and unlisted too.5 yearsGot a call from 01202159741 saying I’d won a medical alert device valued at £200, and they asked me to ring back on 08000487800. Pretty sure it’s a scam, so I just ignored it.5 yearsI got a voicemail asking me to ring 08000487800 about a medical alert system that I could get for free. Apparently, it’s worth around £200.5 yearsGot a call from 08000487800 saying I could get a free medical alert button valued at £200 if I ring back. Seemed a bit suspicious to me.5 yearsThey ring me a few times every week, maybe three or four, but only once left a voicemail. It was about some £200 gadget for health stuff, which I reckon is a total scam. Just ignore and block them if you get the same.5 yearsThis number, 01202159733, has called me a few times now - three to be exact. The strange thing is, I've read that different people get different last digits on the caller ID. Each time it rings, I get the same recorded message, telling me to call 08000487800, just like other folks mentioned. Needless to say, I haven't bothered calling back!5 yearsLike some here, I received a voicemail saying I’d been picked to get a “free” medical alert device and to ring the 08000 number. The call actually showed up from 01202159728. Being around a bit longer, I’m well aware nothing’s really free these days, and I’m with others who reckon this is a con. Best to just ignore these calls altogether. Fingers crossed they’re footing the bill for the calls at least!5 yearsNo idea who they are, they just dive right in talking about me winning a free medical alert device worth more than £200 or something like that.5 yearsReceived a call from 08000487800, a young guy talking slowly with clear English. He left a voicemail, which is odd 'cause normally they hang up when the answerphone kicks in. The message talked about £200 free medical cover if you call back 08000 487800. Could easily trick someone looking for private medical cover into ringing them, especially with the free £200 offer. He never said his name or company though, which is a major red flag. Watch out for this one!5 yearsI got a message off 0120259726 saying to ring them on 08000 487800 to get a supposedly free medical alert device worth £200. Sounds like a total scam to me.5 yearsJust like many others, I got a call about a free medical alert system.5 yearsJust like a few others have said, this was about some free medical alert offer.5 yearsI got a call from 01202159736 saying I had won £200 for a Medical Alert System. They left a message on my answerphone. Seriously, why don’t the authorities crack down on these scams? It’s just wrong how they trick people like this.5 yearsGot a call like that too, claiming I’d won some kind of medical alert device. They never left a company name or who was calling, which sounded super dodgy. Probably just a trick to grab your bank details or tie you into some monthly fee. Nothing comes free these days, that’s for sure. I’m definitely not bothering to ring them back.5 yearsGot a call saying I’d won some medical alert thingy, but they didn’t leave any company info or even a caller name. Felt fishy, like a scam to get bank details or maybe just to sneak in a monthly fee. Nothing’s ever truly free, is it? No way I’m calling them back.5 yearsAs others have pointed out, all the info you can find online links this number, along with others used for scams, to a bloke called Stuart David Wright at 21A Plymouth Road, Barnt Green, Birmingham. Honestly, it’s no surprise he’s got a swanky million-pound house with all the cash he’s probably making from ripping people off!Stuart David WrightPlymouth RoadBarnt GreenBirmingham5 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a British accent, trying to give away some sort of free medical alert system. Quite odd if you ask me.5 yearsGot a voicemail just like others have said - said I’d won some kind of medical alert thing and to ring 0800 048 7800 to get it. I didn’t bother calling them back though.5 yearsGot a voicemail from 01202159729 saying I should ring 08000487800 about claiming a free medical alert system supposedly worth £200. Honestly, sounds like a proper scam just trying to snatch your bank or card info. Wouldn’t trust it at all.5 yearsSo today I get a message saying I’ve won a free medical alert system or something? Weird, considering my luck’s rubbish when it comes to the lottery. They didn’t even say who they were properly, just went on and on, filling up my answering machine. Not interested in giving them a ring back. Blocked straight away.5 years08000487800 keeps ringing me saying I can get a free medical alert system. Sounds dodgy if you ask me. Probably just a trick to snatch your bank info or maybe they give you the gadget free but then hit you with a monthly fee to actually use it. We get loads of these calls from Bournemouth, but they always switch up the number so it slips past my call blocker. Proper annoying!Bournemouth5 yearsGot a call from a Bournemouth number, 01202159724, but I didn’t pick up. Later I found a voicemail saying I’d been picked for a free medical alert device worth over £200. They told me to ring 08000487800 to claim it. Of course, I didn’t bother phoning back, seemed like a total scam to me. Like someone else mentioned, I get loads of calls from similar Bournemouth numbers starting 01202159 with different last three digits - in my case it was 724. The first time I answered one, a guy named Chris was on the line, trying to push an energy survey and sell insulation. Honestly, these sorts of calls should be banned; they’re clearly dodgy and probably illegal.BournemouthChris5 yearsJust got a voicemail myself, but I’m not planning on ringing them back.5 yearsGot a voicemail about winning a free medical alert system but they never said my name. I thought cold calling like this was banned now? Definitely not ringing them back. Ashford, Kent here.AshfordKent5 yearsGot a call from 08000487800 and there was this automated message claiming I'd been selected for some free medical gadget or service. They wanted me to ring them back. Seems dodgy to me, especially since my number's ex-directory and listed on the do-not-call register. Definitely not something I was after.5 yearsI got a call and they left a voicemail saying I was eligible for a medical alert device. I rang BT security to check, and they said the number they have on file is actually 01202159714, not 08000487800 like the caller used. Seems like it’s definitely some kind of scam.5 yearsGot a voicemail about some free personal alarm deal, said it was worth like 200 quid. Asked me to ring that number to claim it. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.5 yearsAvoid phone scammers at all costs, they’re really harmful!Submit Your Own Report (0800 048 7800)
