Called twice today, so I picked it up so I could report who it is was on here!

It's a recorded message, saying "Congratulations, you have been picked to receive a medic alert system..."

New name and number, but same old tired scam. Even worse, where I live the only companies who can supply these items have to be on a list of companies approved by the state. So even if they did supply something, they could not be paid. This means they are either grossly incompetent, or are just phishing for your medical details?

I think the federal shutdown translates to "They can't enforce the national do not call list!" Telemarketer. Don't answer.

got called twice from this one same as before. they really need to quit!!!!!!

Called me three times today; started with automated "blah blah" press 1 to speak to a rep or someother no. to get removed from the list. i opted for 1 and asked the lady to provide me info on her company. She abruptly disconnected the call. What a scam; what a shame.

Unwanted call

20 calls  in 48 hours with same message but different phone numbers (12) on my caller ID. I have reported them to police and I am working now with my phone company to trace all these calls. I have a preliminary answer for now but I have to let Police to do its investigation since the calls are coming from 12 different phone numbers, all of them telemarketing.
I have never answered to these calls and I will never answer but they keep calling. Harassment !  This time I will take them to court. This is too much .

If you could post the different phone numbers, it would allow those of us with the capability to block them pro-actively. Thanks.

'RH' asked about specific numbers.  I've been deluged with these irritating calls over the past 2 days (actually, they are becoming like nails on a chalkboard).  I actually started recording these numbers (most, but not all, are the same scam).  I't amazing how geographically diverse these call are (not sure how these 'people' - I use the word loosely - utilize these different numbers.  

So, here are the calls (and the source area listed on my phone) that I've received with the same/similar scam in the past 48 hours:

(661) 270-7024 - Palmdale 'area' (twice)
(913) 725-0453 - KS, USA (twice)
(708) 965-4570 - IL, USA
(702) 367-3410 - Las Vegas
(646) 568-7529 - NY, USA
(864) 412-3327 - Greenville, SC
(908) 469-0995 - Elizabeth, NJ
(949) 484-8683 - Orange county 'area'
(920) 320-1960 - Manitowoc, WI
(918) 550-5741 - OK, USA
(303) 558-6886 - Brighton, CO
(707) 232-6000 - Trinidad, CA
(605) 496-0717 - SD, USA

Nothing that I've done has made them stop.  I don't answer these call, confirmed my 'do not call list' status, complain the FAA, etc.  

How many of you have received calls from some/many of these numbers??

After my post earlier, I realized that I should have posted the numbers I have seen in the past 24 hours as well. Here they are:

605-496-0717  ROYALE SOLUTION
734-418-9006  VISION SOLUTION
708-965-4570  BPC LOGISTICS
669-888-1428  24 HOUR MEDICAL
707-232-6000  INNOVATION MED
712-227-7000   NAT'L MED CTR
719-212-0000  NORTHSIDE MED
775-800-7054  HEALTH SOLUTION

I have received 6-10 calls a day from  many of these numbers. I suspect they are using some sort of network and VOIP phone system so they can make the calls appear to originate form all over. If it does not stop soon I am gong to report it.  Perhaps once enough complaints are made by us the phone companies will take it up with the authorities and the idiots will be tracked down and shut down.

I have had between 5 and 8 calls per day from this number and never answer. Driving me crazy!

Ever since my 87 year old mother had gone through cardiac rehab several weeks ago I’ve been barraged with calls from numerous states purportedly offering a free medical alert system. I receive a minimum of 4 or 5 calls each day from the following numbers:

850-347-4538 (FL)
414-232-5011 (WI)
847-892-6800 (IL)
920-320-1960 (WI)
954-271-3140 (FL)
520-265-8931 (AZ)
605-496-0717 (SD)
864-412-3327 (SC)
908-469-0995 (NJ)
949-484-8683 (FL)
786-345-1584 (FL)

I have no doubt that this is a medical alert phishing scam
(see http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalf ... -alert/2397189/) and originates from a single source. I don’t know how these people obtained my unlisted cell phone number since the hospital’s disclosure of personal or medical information is a violation of HIPAA confidentiality, subjecting the violator to fines and penalties. Most medical care providers avoid this like the plaque.

My advice is to not answer the call and do not respond to these people in any way. Once they know your phone number is legitimate they will continue calling and may pass your number on to other scammers. It’s a PIA but I would also file a complaint with the FCC and Federal Trade Commission. The more complaints they receive the more likely they will launch an investigation.

Any scum who prey on the elderly are the lowest of bottom feeders and need to be eliminated from society.

230 call am are they nuts scammer dont call again!!!!!
