I gave up my keyholder role at the local breakfast and after-school club a couple of years back, yet I kept getting alerts saying the alarm hadn’t been set. I messaged the club a few times but never heard anything back. Then I rang, got the answering machine, left a message and now I see an 80p charge on my BT bill from them. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number. They aren’t dangerous or anything, but honestly, it feels more like harassment than anything else.

There’s a £1.69 charge on my bill even though I don’t have an alarm service. Definitely feels like a rip-off.

Totally legit. Like someone mentioned before, it belongs to EMCS (East Midlands Central Station), which is an alarm control centre ran independently and with a weird name. Honestly, they're really friendly and helpful folks. When I saw the number pop up, I didn’t answer as I wasn’t familiar with it, but it turned out the Museum of Ryde had switched their security provider. This was actually the alarm company's initial call from their outgoing line - a number that's different from their usual contact one.

I got a call from emcs, they do alarm monitoring. It’s a legit firm that keeps an eye on intruder alarms. If you're named as a keyholder for an alarm - maybe at a shop or your home - they ring to inform you. Basically, they wanted to tell me that an alarm I’m linked to as an emergency contact has gone off.

I was confused when I seen a charge on my phone bill for this number. Then after checking another report, it reminded me that this number belongs to the security alarm centre my workplace deals with. I had assumed it was a free number, but now I’ll make sure to use the work phone to call them. This is a real number linked to a legit business.

this looks like some kinda scam to me, maybe trying to trick you into handing over your alarm info. they won't say where the alarm's ended up but expect you to spill your details upfront. doesn't add up at all. plus it's 45p a minute on top of other fees. rubbish!
