Expert Opinion

Bottom line: calls from +134 are most likely a scam targeting seniors with fake medical‑alert offers. The pattern of intimidation, repeated harassment, and vague company names points to a fraudulent operation, often disguised as a legitimate Brooklyn firm. Use Caller ID to screen unknown numbers, block the prefix in your phone settings, and report persistent callers to the FCC and your carrier. Advise older relatives to let unknown calls go to voicemail and verify any claims by contacting the official company directly. Stay skeptical of high‑pressure sales tactics and never share personal or payment info over the phone.
