A lady named Jennifer, identifying herself as Asian, said she worked for a medical health alert company and wanted to send a pendant costing £29.95 a month – even if legit, Age UK would be cheaper, so I declined and she hung up.
Unsolicited Health Pitches Unpacked

Expert Opinion
Caution is advised with unsolicited calls claiming to offer medical services, especially when the caller knows personal details like your name without prior context. These interactions often breach data protection rules, as seen when callers hang up upon mentioning registration with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). In one case, a pushy pitch for a £29.95 monthly pendant from a vague 'medical health alert' company raised red flags, with comparisons to cheaper legitimate options like Age UK. Register with TPS if not already done to reduce such nuisances, and never share details over the phone. Report suspicious calls to Action Fraud for investigation—better safe than sorry with potential scams targeting vulnerable folks.
