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.
didn't pick up... they left a very realistic sounding recorded message saying they are calling about the "I've fallen and I can't get up" system that I've probably heard about and so many use... the system's already been paid for, I'm getting the system because somebody I know has had a fall... shipping has already been paid for, too... I just have to contact them to let them know where to send it... message ends with another voice saying "If you already have a medical alert system please ignore this message"... clearly a bogus call and about the sixth time I've received this exact call.
"Uh, this is John from shipping, your alarm is already paid for..." scam robo call
Caller ID: "V724172634000632" (derived from date and time so you don't get the same Caller ID twice)
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?"
