The caller knew my name and identified himself as representing senior something (Latino and hard to understand). As soon as I challenged him on the name of the company, he hung up.
This number is most likely associated with a Scammer. I've gotten many calls from this number with no associated name. Today (06/09/15: 9:30ish), I decided to answer it and can confirm, as noted by prior recipients, that the male voice with whom I spoke claimed this was from the "Senior Center Hotline". The fellow added "they" have been trying and having difficulty reaching my husband to which I responded that that would be difficult as he is deceased. The fellow responded, "I'm sorry" and hung up. We've never done business with the named organization, are on the Nat'l DO NOT CALL list, and the number dialed was our original unlisted home landline. At the time, I wasn't as quick on the uptake to question how our number was obtained nor did I ask for what it was that they were attempting to reach him; 'course the caller would probably have hung up at that point anyway.
Same as all of the above , I did not answer , makes no difference what you do or don,t do , scamming is big business and they seem to be proud of what they do . Not all are from foreign call centers , some are home grown . I disagree that legitimate companies are not involved , I feel that I have been screwed by legitimate companies , who I have done business with and in some cases worked for , watch or read the news , it is one crime or scandal after the other . Crime seems to have taken over . Not a sermon just a thought .
I just got the call from 571-281-4336; Virginia Caller, saying the back brace that I had requested was available. Not having a clue what it was about I chose to be connected. The guy on the line asked if I was on Medicare so I asked him what company he was with. He said it wasn't a company it's a service, so I asked what organization he was with because I never requested a back brace. To my surprise he said "that's total bull***t" and the proceeded to unleash a string of profanity. After hanging up I thought someone should be looking into these kind of scam artists so I called my senator's office. Seems like someone gaming the system by getting Medicare to pay for back braces perhaps so my senator should be notified - just couldn't think of who else to call. It was a wasted call, no help. I'm still burning over the profanity avalanche. Any suggestions for who to notify?
