I received a call from this number this morning.  The message claims that it is the "city of Houston Ambulance billing dept" and they asked me to return their call to discuss my "outstanding balance."  I have never used an ambulance in my life and I have never lived in Houston.  I did live in a surrounding county 5yrs ago.  This is obviously a complete scam. I did try to call back because I wanted to find out how they got my number and there was no answer.  Only an amateur/low quality recording for me to leave my name, number, and billing account number so they can call me back.

I've had two calls from this number saying the same thing. My warning bells went off as I've never set foot in Houston. Whenever I get a call claiming I owe money or have won something, I do a google search because there are so many of these scam artists trying tricks like this now. It's a shame people have resorted to scamming innocent people to make a few bucks. They don't realize it, but it will hit them back one day, big time.

Same thing, calls telling me to call them and then when you do it is an automated system saying to leave a message.  No invoice number or details about what they are calling about...I never lived in Houston and haven't been there in 40 years.

Just got the same call today, Jan 10, 2014, and the same answering machine.  I do live in Houston so I call the City info number, 311, and filed a complaint with them.

I missed a call from them.  I was recently in an ambulance here in Houston.  The medic apparently did not take down my medical card correctly..  They are sending me a letter for me to fill out.  No big deal.

I give out an eVoice number for businesses an the like. The message arrives by e-mail. I haven't taken the time to retrieve and listen to it, but it is probably legitimate. I did have a ride in a City of Houston ambulance which got lost on its way to the hospital. Fortunately, I didn't have anything major going on, or I might have died en route. They even took a toll road which completely bypasses the hospital area, had to turn around and return to where we should have been about 30 minutes earlier via surface streets. My wife, waiting at the hospital, had really started worrying.

So, yeah. It's probably a legitimate call. Unless you've never been to Houston, of course. I wonder if folks who do not intend to pay simply give out random numbers so they can't easily be tracked down.

I just  get  phone call and little  while  go  claiming that  are with the  "city  of  Houston  Ems   billing dept  this  person on the  another   end  claims that I have 4  outstanding  balances  which I  don't  not  and this  women said that  were done sometime in august  and  april  but  wont give  me  date of the  year and I told that I  have insurance  and  I just spoken to the  insurance company last  week about this  issue   and their   was no claim  for  this  and I  have fill  coverage to  pay for the  ride. and I get  statement  for  the company. and all my  bills are paid  by the  my insurance  am sick and tried  of this  companies  calling and trying to scam  me out of my  money and this  women  contuined to agure with me and want me to pay the bill that  was not  mine. I want this  company to  stop and leave me along.

Call from City of Houston requesting health insurance information for a recent ambulance ride I had.

you'd be surprised how mush those FEW BUCKS adds up to...  They are playing somebody somewhere to get away with this kind of stuff.... VOTE VOTE VOTE

Missed call. Must be legit if it's City of Houston Ambulance Services as I was in one two weeks ago. Not sure I know what they want though as I provided all insurance info. Will find out soon I'm sure.

when I answered, it was a recording telling me a number to call back. If it were legit, it wouldn't have been so vague. Also, I have never been in an ambulance IN MY ENTIRE LIFE or hospitalized so it's obviously a scam. Stupid people these days.

I just got a call, and have never received service from them! Definitely a scam,

This is actually the number for Houston City ambulance. If you received a call it was probably because someone gave them a bogus number.  Here is the website in case:
