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.
Got the same message from a "Medical Alert" shipping department saying my medical alert system was shipping and had already been paid for, too. This is a scam and must stop!!!!
I received approximately 40 calls in a 3 week period from this company. All were recorded messages regarding a medical alert. When called back the message says it is not in service. It was a different # than the 201. I disconnected my answering machine and have had to leave it off as it was being filled with these messages.
Tonight I just got a call from the 201 # above and rang at least 15 times as I cannot put my answering machine on. I was told by Comcast that I had to block it myself on the internet. I tried this but it still rings through. Can't something be done to stop these people? I should be able to have my answering machine on in my home.
Recorded robocall. Caller ID read V72417152200062. Guy reading a script quite casually about an emergency medical system of the "Help I've fallen and can't get up kind" that is "apparently already paid for" etc. This outfit has called several times before. See http://www.cnbc.com/id/100841559 and the link to a recording of the scammer.
Reported to the Do Not Call Registry: https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx for what that's worth.
The Call Type pulldown on this site should include Scammer in addition to Telemarketer for call type!
This number just left a message on our phone,
Nasty sales pitch saying I've already have a "med alert" system paid for and they just want to" schedule delivery". - HA!
- I'm about to turn 65 and already the piranha fish are coming in for the kill!
Beware and don't believe this stuff. It is a pretty sophisticated delivery and scam.
