There was an initial pause when I first answered, so I should have known it was a telemarketer. A woman asked for me by name. She spoke quickly and asked if I “still have arthritis.” Now—I DO have arthritis, and recently had a hip replacement. My insurance company uses an outside company to review and approve treatment, so I was briefly confused. I asked her to repeat the question. And then I asked—who are you calling from? She said, “pharmacies.” I’m sorry—who? Are you affiliated with my insurance company? “No, we’re a group of pharmacies.” Oh… now I get it. “So you’re calling to ask me questions about my private medical information.” “No, we already have that information—don’t you have arthritis in your hips, back or neck?” “If you have medical information on me, then what is your source for that information” “I don’t have that—just that you have arthritis.” Somewhere in there, she mentioned a cream that my insurance would pay for. She said, “We’re just calling to offer you a service.”

“So let me see if I have this—you’re calling to try to sell me something, asking private medical information, so you can charge my insurance company for it?” Thank you for such a generous offer, but no thanks.”

I know—I should have hung up much earlier, but I was more surprised that she didn’t hang up earlier.

Hey at least you kept that scum from stealing money from someone else for a short time.
