Why Spam Calls Pretend to Be Medical Alerts!
Summary — +12489634172
Expert Opinion
A spam call claiming to be from a medical alert service caught my ear, and the script rushed through a fake Social Security check before hanging up. These pre‑recorded scams often exploit familiar sounding agencies to trick listeners into confirming personal details. If you get a similar call, let the message finish, note the number, and hang up—don’t provide any info. Report the number to your carrier and to the FTC, and consider adding it to a call‑blocking app. Staying skeptical and blocking these numbers quickly cuts down future nuisance calls.
