Picture this: your phone rings unexpectedly, and a stranger starts probing for personal details or even references deceased relatives. Such intrusive calls from this number often involve persistent unsolicited contacts, sometimes masquerading as health surveys or seeking specific individuals. Reports highlight repeated attempts, overseas accents, and a harassing tone that leaves people unsettled. Block the number immediately to curb further nuisance. If details like health info were shared, monitor for identity theft by checking credit reports. Report to Action Fraud if it feels like a scam—dial 101 for non-emergency police advice. Stay vigilant; never disclose sensitive data over unsolicited calls.
I received a cold call from what sounded like a busy overseas call centre; they asked for Maria – my mother who passed away eight years ago – and I told them never to call again before blocking the number.
A woman with an Asian‑sounding voice asked for a person by name. After I said I didn't know anyone with that name, she apologized and ended the call. Likely a cold‑call scam.
The individual said they were from Medical Health Services. I've received similar calls where they asked about my health, which felt intrusive. They've called me four times this week, and when I asked how many more, they answered Hundreds in a harsh tone.
