Same as all the other comments. A voice said he was Sam and was a healthcare worker in my area (Salisbury). I asked a question that was slightly off piste and there was a long pause for the answer. Seems like an AI generated voice. Obviously a scam or pressure selling call.

Just had a call from a guy who said he was a Health Worker in my area, telling me I was entitled to a free care alarm and suggested I needed one, I could use it in an emergency e.g. if I were to have a fall. When I told him I had never thought I needed such a thing he said that "it's your decision", wished me well and hung up!

Received a call telling me he was a local Health care worker. I asked what it was about and was told I was entitled to a free Medicare tag. This was to make sure I could contact someone in an emergency should I have a health problem or fall. Told him no one has this problem in our household, he respected my opinion and then hung up before I could ask anymore questions. It was apparently from Newtown.

I caught Sam too. There's a lot of local health workers called Sam apparently. They are trying to sell emergency calls alarms. Didn't respond to my answers so clearly a robocall (also, may have been due to the swearing 😁). Seems a particularly nasty one this as it targets people with health conditions and plays on their fears about being left to die alone. Which ironically, would be too good for whoever this is (probably not really called Sam).

Called, said was a local health worker - as I had a life threatening illness could have a medical alert tag. When I said “ never had a days illness in my life, where have you got my medical details from” immediately hung up.
