He said I was eligible for a free medical alert pendant and wanted to know my age. Told him I wasn't interested and he hung up. Reckon there'd have been a catch somewhere had I continued. Number now blocked.

Appalling as was getting infirmation from an elderly lady and not knowing her name or age. Hang up or get them to call a family member they'll soon hang up.
medical alert scam, the caller could not tell me who he wanted to speak to or even the number he had called, just kept repeating his script....
Said was from a medical alert company and as my MIL is elderly and has a personal alarm I thought it was them calling to say that somethign had happened. I soon hung up when I realised it was a sales call trying to get me to have one....
Claimed to be a medical centre wanting to know if we wanted a personal alarm alert device.
