3He had been provided with information that I have certain health conditions (I don’t) and require certain medication (I don't). He said I qualified for a medical alert alarm.
Rang on my landline and told me he was from my healthcare provider and I was eligble for an alarm alert which you wear round your neck and press the button if you need help. There was a monthly cost involved. Told him I wasn't interested. Checked out the number here and see its a scam call. Have now blocked the number on the landline!
Said he was called Sam and was my local health provider. I hung up as could tell by his voice that it was a scam call! After googling the number I’ve found the number is used for all sorts from HMRC tax refund, offering alarm pendants to the elderly, selling health insurance and selling windows…none of which you’ll actually receive! So definitely a scam
