I just received a phone can from this number. The caller ID stated from "URGENT". I did not answer & they did not leave a message.

Call came in and said Urgent.  I did not answer as our number is only used for faxes.   When the fax machine came on the caller disconnected.  Neither was a fax sent, and if it was that urgent, the caller would have sent a fax to confirm the urgency.  None came

As noted earlier, I got the "urgent" in the caller ID with this phone number and decided to talk with the scammer. It is a senior scare scam. Not sure if the company's name mentioned in the recording was fake, too, but the recording said "Senior Care USA" had been in business many years.

Just received this call again -- the Caller ID says "Urgent".  No message left.  

I also just got a call from "URGENT".  This looks to be another nuisance number to ignore.

just received a call that said urgent.I did not answer and no message was left..

Caller ID said "URGENT". I did not answer. No message was left.

I just had the same thing happen. There should be a way to get this practice banned. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, and a scammer shouldn't be able to call using "urgent" as the ID.

I just got a call from this number and did not answer and no message was left.

Called my house at 10:47 left VM about being over 60 and eligible for medical alert system with $3000 credit toward groceries. Didn't get company name and caller id said URGENT.

NYTimes did an article today on phone scams targeting seniors.  These criminals are disgusting, and there are very few protections.  I screen all my landline calls and never pick up, but return calls to friends who leave messages.  I use my cell for important calls i.e., from doctors.  

Another number to add to the "blocked" list.

Urgent-  Senior Citizens.....  Another SCAMMER!  SIck of idiots like this who prey on our elders.  These callers should be fined, jailed, and put out of business.  Pacifictel Communications should be made to pay fines too, because they are one those phone companies who love to give scammers phone numbers to do business.  

Had another call from213-375-0990 it is after 7:15 pm.l did not answer.no message was left.

Just said urgent in caller id. Please tell them not to call.

Called this morning around 10AM. Caller ID said Urgent. I did not answer. No message left.

What jerks!!! Hubby was alarmed by caller ID saying "URGENT"!!! Since I was out, he worried that I had been in an accident!

I receive a call from this number on a daily basis.  They claim to be providing a pain relief compound provided to you at no cost by your insurance company.   I just hang up

I receive a call from this number on a daily basis.The caller ID says URGENT. They never leave a message. What happened to the do not call list ? Do companies no longer have to abide by it ?

>> What happened to the do not call list ? <<

This post has two parts.  The =second= is for people who are interested in the realities of the Do Not Call list.  The =first= is for people who have difficulty understanding long explanations, but think the DNC list does not work.

1)
The DNC list is not a magic switch attached to your phone line, that will block calls.

The DNC list is intended to help stop calls originating from legitimate telemarketers.
* Your calls were not from legitimate telemarketers.
* Therefore, the DNC list will not stop those calls.

2)
The DNC list does not automatically block calls.  Instead, it provides a list of  "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate, registered telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.

The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations,  charities, and companies with preexisting business relationships, as well as debt collectors, but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).

The DNC list is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
Its purpose is to stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.  Just think ... if there were no DNC, you would be receiving incessant calls from BOTH legitimate and scam telemarketing callers!

Remember, the FCC's Do Not Call site is a good one to report unwanted calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers.   To report spammers and scammers, visit the FTC site, at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

If you receive calls even after reporting them (and waiting a sufficient time), then you should consider using a call blocker app, device or service as your first line of defense.  Google "call blocker" to see such things at Amazon or other sites.
