Caller ID said Cell Phone CA. If I don't recognize the number, I don't pick up. IF it's that important, they'll leave a message on the machine, which this one did not.
The recorded message:If you are 60 yrs or older you are now qualified for a risk free offer for the Senior Assistance Program that entitles you to $3,000.00 worth of Grocery Savings Certificates and along with that you will receive a free Medical Alert Necklace or Bracelet. It will be mailed to you. Press one for more information.
Mom just got a call on her landline. The ID read "Alert". I called number back from my cell using *67. Their recorded message stated, "Thank you for calling back. If you wish to be removed from our list for future promotions, please press 1 now." I waited for another option, perhaps a live voice or company name, but it repeated the same thing 3 times, so I hung up.
