Expert Opinion

Block unsolicited calls immediately to shield your privacy. These reports highlight a pattern of deceptive tactics, often posing as health services to push medical devices like pendants, or using ping rings that vanish after one buzz—classic scam manoeuvres designed to lure callbacks and rack up charges. Hang up without engaging, and report to your provider or Action Fraud for wider protection. Never share details over the phone; verify independently via official channels. Staying vigilant cuts the risk of financial loss or data theft from such nuisances.
