We have been receiving several calls per day. Today, we have received five calls from about 9:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. They always hang up or have already hung up when I answer. What is their scam?
I received the call from the number, and a man with an Indian accent said that he was with Medicare and that a scooter was to be delivered to my door. I said that I did not believe he was from Medicare and that I did not want a scooter and did not need one. He persisted. I said I will report him to the police, and hung up. He called back and again I said he was a fraud and needed to quit robbing people. He called again and this time he began cursing me with "a$$hole" "fu....er." I put the number on call blocking. I would like to know that this is all about.
As you've already deduced, the [***]'s a scammer. Medicare warns about scooter fraud here http://www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/11046.pdf AARP warns about Medicare diabetes fraud here http://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-06 ... _diabetes_.html which isn't related to your call but it's something everyone should be made aware of.
