Ever wonder why the same number keeps ringing your phone with a medical‑alert pitch? The pattern points to a robocall spoof that masquerades as a legitimate health‑device seller, aiming to harvest personal data and keep you on the line for minutes. The safest play is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number in your device or via your carrier. Report the incident to the FTC and, if possible, share the spoofed ID with your phone‑service provider. Never hand over Social Security, bank or insurance details to an unsolicited caller, and consider a third‑party call‑blocking app for added protection.
This is why it's essential to get informations from the caller, the number itself is useless, but the compagny name and website are more valuble.
No message was left after the call was not answered.
The scammers' methodology involves paying for website usage to spoof numbers, so it is advisable to keep them engaged on the phone for as long as possible. However, reporting spoofed numbers to the FCC is ineffective, as they are not the actual numbers in use.
It appears that my cell phone number has been included on a list used by scammers, resulting in frequent unwanted calls. A recent call from this number was accidentally answered, and a subsequent call back to the number yielded a rapid busy signal.
I recieved a hang up call, one of many I've gotten in the past couple of weeks, likely from a spoofed number used by a Medicaid/Medicare scammer.
My apologies, as my previous comment was intended for a different individual, namely those who replied to Zizzy.
The individual associated with this number is quite hostile, using abusive language and wishing harm upon others, which is not only unacceptable but also disturbing.
Effective law enforcement is suggested to be lacking, with the current system perceived as inadequate.
Apparently, receivng this call wasn't a pleasent experiance, especialy since I wasnt able to answer it. Finding out who's trying to sell these things is preety easy, just ask them who will be billing you and how long the contract is for. They probably want you to hang up on the robocall if you're not interesed, so you have less information to report to the FTC. Geting the info, filing the report, and giving the FTC some evidance to go after them is the best cose
The incessant calls from this number, received throughout the day, have become increasingly irritating
A medical alert scam was attempted, where the caller tried to obtain personal info; after providing fake information for 15 minutes, I revealed the trick, and the caller was not pleased
A scam related to Medic Alert was reported, and I contacted Pollo Restaurant to inform them of the scammer using their other line.
A recorded message attempted to sell a medical alert system, which appears to be a scam, so I blocked the number.
