Frequent reports highlight persistent unsolicited calls from this number, often involving health-related pretexts like surveys or emergency alarms. Callers frequently hang up on answerphones or upon answering, a classic tactic to evade detection, with many noting foreign accents and difficulty understanding speech. TPS registration is ignored, pointing to illegal operations. Victims report stress from repeated rings, especially those with mobility challenges. Block immediately and report to authorities like Action Fraud to curb this. Avoid engaging; sharing personal details risks scams. If suspicious, verify independently via official channels rather than responding.
Because the app indicates whether it's a scam, and since no one I know has this number...
The call ended before I could answer.
Claimed to be from the UK Health and Care Study. Obviously a scam trying to grab attention with 'healthcare'.
The caller hung up immediately after I answered, which is typical of a scam where they dial multiple numbers simultaneously and answer the first one that picks up; my number is ex-directory, so I'm concerned about how they got it.
Before I could pick up, the call was disconnected.
A health survey scam was attempted, with the caller knowing my name but struggling to pronounce it, and they quickly ended the call when I refused to cooperate.
The caller claimed to be from UK healthcare. They only had my maiden name and struggled to pronounce it. They hung up when I wouldn’t confirm my name.
They called, and I’m pretty sure they’ve called before, but no legitimate healthcare bracelet company would call like this.
Yet anouther scam occurence today, be wary
No voicemail was left, so it’s probably a scam.
The call stopped ringing before I could answer, but judging by the comments, I probaby didnt miss much, thankfully
A call was received at 1521, but I did not answer due to the absence of a genuine caller ID; no message was left, which further suggests it was a scam call
Claimed to be from UK Health Care for a survey, but the number showed 01237 749007, which looked overseas. Obvious scam.
Upon answering the landline, I was met with an unintelligible voice and promptly ended the call, suspecting a scam after verifying the number on this website.
I opted not to take the call and instead checked the number here, discovering that it's another number from the same group that contacted me just eight days ago.
Called claiming to represent ‘UK Healthcare’. I hung up at that point.
This is the first scam call I've received this year, adding to my list of troublesome numbers.
An Asian man named 'Paul' claimed to be conducting a 'UK Healthcare survey' or something similar. He knew my name but then asked for my age, etc. I ended the call and blocked him. Clearly a scam.
A scammer, who knew my name, contacted me with a health care scam.
They called my landline and hung up when I answered. I phoned back three times on my mobile. First, they asked who I was; I replied they should know since they called me first. They hung up. On the second call, they cut me off. On the third, they claimed to be from a care line provider about a medical alarm bracelet. I said I had no connection, and they asked if I was wearing one. I said no, and they apologised before hanging up. Clearly a scammer avoiding call backs.
The proliferation of nuisance calls from unknown numbers, such as this one, which did not leave a message, is causing undue stress and anxiety.
A woman with a strong foreign accent called me, claiming to be doing a health and safety survey, but I ended the call because I was busy with something urgent
A woman with a strong Chinese accent called. Her speech was difficult to understand, with only the occasional word being clear. She mentioned something about health but I ended the call politely.
Avoid answering, it’s a scam.
There was a pause, followed by the sound of a computer being activated, before the caller hung up; unfortunately, this marked the end of our spam-free start to the new year.
Within the last hour, they've rang twice which is extreemly frustrating given my mobility problums and lack of landline usage
No information is available
Reporting this incident, they didnt answer me
Clearly, this call was a breach of the TPS list, suggesting the culprits are engaging in illicit activities, preying on unsuspecting individuals. The fact that the line was silent implies a lack of available representatives, further solidifying suspicions of a scam. It's appalling to think such individuals operate with impunity, evading accountability for their actions.
