Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, these calls masquerade as helpful offers but prey on the vulnerable. Reports consistently describe unsolicited pitches for medical alert devices, often targeting those over 50 with promises of 'free' pendants that lead to scams. Callers claim affiliations with legitimate-sounding companies like Medical Health Services, yet they dodge questions and hang up abruptly, revealing their fraudulent intent. Often from an overseas call centre spoofing a Cardiff number, they aim to extract money from elderly or isolated individuals. Hang up immediately if you receive such a call—do not engage or provide details. Report to Action Fraud and block the number to protect yourself and others. Stay vigilant against these predatory tactics.
