CID indicated "ALERT." I picked up the phone but did not say anything. After a few seconds the robo call started to deliver info about a Medicare supplementary plan. This caller's approach is really deceptive. Using "ALERT" suggests an imminent threat of some kind, especially if you have signed up for alerts from a local government entity or an alert from you home security provider. I would never sign up for any Medicare program that uses this approach.
Same as others above. Glad for all these posts. The do not call list works only for legitimate businesses. You can report these unwanted calls though by calling the do not call official number. Just google it and it instructs you how to do it. If you want to "play" with the telemarketers and waste their time if you have nothing else to do, then check out internet postings and YouTube for hilarious responses under the subject "hello, it's Lenny." It's very useful and funny!
