"Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009"
"The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, which was signed into law Dec. 22, 2010, prohibits caller ID spoofing for the purposes of defrauding or otherwise causing harm. In June 2010, the Federal Communications Commission adopted rules implementing the Truth in Caller ID Act."

Oh, wait ... never mind. We've already done that four years ago.
This is not a legitimate caller. This is a scammer. They want you to think they are The "American" Chronic Pain Association. They left out the word "American" and it's not the same organization. I think these scammers are the same scammers who do the medical alert bracelet scams.
Pressed 1 and asked for the company name, a phone number and address - the salesperson would not provide anything but saying they are with "Health Advisors". I played along... "I won't give out my health information if I don't know who I'm giving it to, but I am very interested." He said he didn't have that information and wasn't allowed to give out a phone number. I asked for a supervisor because I was really interested (haha) but needed to know more about who I was giving my personal information to first. The supervisor gave me a call back number of 321-248-6292. He also stated they are located in Miami Flordia which is correct for the area code. The funny part was when I ask the supervisor for the company name and he paused then said "American Pain Relief" and I heard him turn to the original salesperson on the phone and whisper "Thats right, isn't it?" I then hung up. No clue if the 321 area code phone number is accurate. I didn't want to call it and possibly get on MORE call lists from having called in.
Earlier posters are right. The number is spoofed. I got the same call a few days ago from 650-277-2617. I am on the do not call list so no legitimate telemarketer can call me. I guess once they get an answer once they will just keep calling back. It won't do any good to report it.
