Got nine calls today from this number. My husband spoke with them and said it sounded like an Indian guy. He said he heard my husband was having pain and wanted to know where. My husband laid the phone down the phone down and the jerk just talking. After several minutes he hung up
this phone number keeps calling me and then hangs up. since filling out a medical form saying i was diabetic on line i have been receiving these wierd calls. probably scammers.
