Here we go again. Strong suspicion that this 201-520-9503 (ID shows "Union City, NJ") is the new, rotated number from the same jerks about joining a diabetes club (previous was "Diabetic Saving" 443-550-7961) which called about 7 days prior. Maybe just getting their small fee from some strange & overpriced-product organization for dialing anyone's phone # is enough to make a paycheck, because no one is going to sell me anything - EVER. Just turned my answering device down to 1-ring pickup; anyone important will leave a message (which these particular jerks do not). I have a hunch they may have gotten my phone # through a free glucose meter offer which was never fulfilled. Never did get any free glucose meter, so don't reply to those scams.
Caller ID came up "Union City NJ", but no one came online when I answered.
Attempted to call it back (first anonymize with *67) and got a busy signal. Retried and the woman who answered mentioned "Thank you for calling health line"; since I had it on mute I waited for her to speak again as I hadn't really understood her (some accent)- she eventually figured that no-one was online, then identified herself from "Health Initiative" and thanked me for calling.
Probably a non profit or a telemarketer.
I received a call form this number on Dec 14th. It was a gentlemen with a heavy accent he asked if I was aminda bughader I told him "No" He asked me if anyone in are household was a diabetic. I told him "No" (I don't know why I stayed on the phone) Then he began yelling at me and called me a blatant liar! That's when I hung up! I would like to know who these people are also.
I got 4 or five calls in the row, the always used my first name and then they asked if I am diabetic. I did not keep the conversation going but I assume it is a company trying to ship diabetic supplies with a large margin of profit coming out some warehouse in the Union City, NJ area, right accross from NYC.
I told them to put me on their no-call list and any further calls I would report them to the FCC on their site with a complaint link/page.
It has worked with me, just with one robot caller who has changed from calling from Mississippi(how many s's and how many i's, p's?), now calling from Augusta or Portland, Maine, daily, up to three times. So, I have to report them to the FCC again.
I will get peace from robot callers one day in the future, hopefully. It is like getting peace in the Near East, LOL
if anyone knows the address of the folks, please post it here. We're going to go on a little road trip to NJ and have a "chat" with them. And we'll be armed for our own protection.
