I got that call today but they did not say anything so I hung up, but the call came a couple of days ago, and said the med alert will be mailed out. I said you got the wrong number, and I hung up.
Joe from medical company asking for address to deliver medical alert shipment. Told him I had not ordered anything, he said it was paid for, but I hung. Scammer.
Guy called up saying I was getting a free medical alert shipment - like from the commercial "I've fallen and cant get up" could I give him the address that he could send it to. I said "what person are you looking for because I didnt buy anything?" He said "No someone bought it for you- its fully paid for - including the shipping - we just need your address" Duh- why would someone surprise me/or buy me something to be sent to me and not give that company my address? I hung up.
"Uh, this is John from shipping, your alarm is already paid for..." scam robo call

This one's slick, I actually thought there was a live person on the line. I could hear him flipping the pages of paper he was reading and I was all set to "play" with the caller when I realized that it was a recording. Following is the text of the "conversation"...
"Hi, uh, this is John from the shipping department of Emergency Medical Alert, I was calling to uh schedule a delivery of your medical alert system, it's uh the "fallen, and I can't get up" type of system you've seen on TV. Looks like the system's been uh recommended by thousands of hospitals and medical professionals, uh, let's see, says here that the system's already been paid for. Looks like you're getting the system because uh either yourself, a friend, a family member or maybe even someone you know has experienced a fall in the past so uh again it's already been paid for so there's no cost to your whatsoever. Also says here that the shipping has already been paid for so to uh schedule the delivery of your Emergency Medical Alert System press 1 uh again to uh have your system shipped out to you press 1 now...press 5 to decline the shipment of your system....(me) Hello?"
