Called on 5/18. Answered the phone after the third consecutive call from them. Answered and heard it ringing in the other person. Heavy foreign accent. Stated he was calling from the state department. I told him that no he wasn't and to take me off of their call list. He said OK and hung up. Scam for sure. I do not live in a state with 209 as an area code.
A man called. He asked for me by name. He said he was calling from the Medical Compensation Department. I asked what company he is calling from and he said it was through a state agency. I asked which state. He said he was in California. He wanted to know if I had taken some medication during my pregnancy. I am not in California and I have not been pregnant. I did not give any information to him or answer any of his questions. I could hear other people in the background making the exact same statements on other phone calls. I told him I was not interested in anything. He said he only had 4 questions for me. I told him I was not answering any questions and I am not interested. He said OK and hung up.
We received a phone call at 4am on our landline, which we rarely use. When the phone rings at that time of day, I immediately worry that something is wrong. I made my husband answer it and there was dead air on the other end. I'm glad my husband was home since he travels a lot for work. I was scared enough and would have been freaked out if I was alone.
