called too trying to get in contact with my mother about topical pain relief medication.  We are on the "Do Not Call" Registry as well.  will file a report.  the more reports on file the better!

Depends upon the State your in!

Fake pharmacy calling to push pain medication cream.  Said I was in no pain and she said it comes and goes.  I said still no pain and she thanked me and hung up.  These phonies pray on gullible people.

Called me by name - then hung up. SCAM

Originally called as Scam? Muskegon. Robocall blocked it. Now it is just Muskegon MI.

Do not give info.  They knew when I called my doctor which is scary. Horrible taking advantage of sick people.

Pain management SCAMMER! Sick of these CRIMINALS and their UNWANTED CALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately Beth when it comes to Scammers using spoofed ( fake ) Caller ID's it doesn't matter which state you're in . And regardless ... the DoNotCall list is a national entity ... not a state ..  and is inundated with complaints  .. so again it doesn't matter worth a hoot . Scammers will always prevail.

FYI ; According to AARP the FBI etc it is estimated that 80-90% of all phone calls both cell and landline will be spoofed CID scammers by 2021 .. and nobody at the government level be it federal or state is doing a goram thing about it including the DoNotCall registry . So get used to it . The scams are just winding up

The best defense in fact the ONLY  defense against this current phalanx of scams ranging  from  political - to  medical -  to charitable -  to bank/creditcard  etc - et al - ad nauseam  is ..

Do Not  answer unless its a CID you recognize ... and more importantly ... NEVER call any number back unless a legitimate message is left by a recognizable person or entity

As seen in the above comments blacking most of these scams is a waste of time and effort  .. Why ? Because when  you  block one spoofed CID  they simply  create another .

And no one including the FBI can help with spoofed CID calls

I agree with most of what you said, but a good call blocker is also in order to avoid the majority of calls from scammers.  I have over 350 area codes blocked, including (221) Muskegon, MI. Meaning...every phone number in those area codes, real or fake, is blocked. They still call, and I can see they called, but they don't make my phone ring. The only scammers who get through to ring my phone are from made up area codes/numbers and calls from my local area code, each of which can be easily blocked with a push of the big red button on my call blocker.

Currently I have 494 total numbers blocked, including the 350 area codes.  My machine will allow me to block 1500 total, including area codes, area codes with prefixes, and individual numbers.  During an average week I get 2 or 3 scammers that can slip through, but it's rare that anyone can make my phone ring except for friends, family, or people I do business with.

Caller ID showed the call is from Muskegon, MI.  Caller stated she was with Pharmacy, calling about my back pain medication.  They've called multiple times, I block the number and they call back from a different number and it's identical each time.  When I state I'm on the Do Not Call list, each telemarketer has replied, "You are a liar, you not on the Do Not Call List."  They then become quite nasty, even threatening me (lol) and I hang up.  Before I can block the number, they call back--seconds apart, continually.  I received three calls from this number this afternoon, seconds apart.  Finally got to block the call.  I do have friends in Muskegon...that's the only reason I answered in the first place.

They are harassing me!!!

Scam! Claimed they were my pharmacy calling. Asked about my husband's pain. He passed away 5 years ago! Blocked!

I got the same thing this afternoon. They mentioned Medicare, so they may be phishing for Medicare numbers. As I was asking to be removed from their call list, she hung up on me.

I have an auto block feature on my phone and once a week I get 6 blocks in a row from this caller. Sometimes 10. That mea s this is a robocaller/computer that tries to dial a number repeatedly till it makes a connection. I highly recommend not answering as some of these calls these days can actually "infiltrate" your phone. If you don't have an anti-virus. Get one.

called saying was calling from my pharmacy and I asked what pharmacy she couldn't answer.  Wanted my husband and asked if I was authorized to speak for hiim and I said yes and that I was not interested.  She kept on and I said I was not falling for her scam and not to call back,,,,she said she was and I said no you are not because I am blocking you.   I blocked her and she called back 3 times in a row.....

Out of area - left no message

I received a call from this # - man said he was looking for C. (specific name) and was from "the pharmacy". I asked which pharmacy at which point he became verbally aggressive, wouldn't answer and again asked for C. (specific name) and demanded to know if I was that person. I asked again which pharmacy - not identifying anyone. He then hung up. Caller ID said this is a Michigan call.

Receive call today at 11am, foreign woman said can she speak to (full name) i said may i ask who is calling
she said something and i said what is  this about, She said Pharmacy.. I said What pharmacy?  She
Hung Up!    Was her script not prepared to answer what make believe pharmacy she was from?

This is a pure scam. Said he was from"the pharmacy". I asked him "what pharmacy?" He comes back with "well, for privacy reasons, we can't divuge that information if you won't identify yourself.  What is your last name?" Obviously, they are yielding any private information by telling me the name of the pharmacy where he works! Just trying to get bits
