Robo call from (570) 309-3012 recorded 26 March 2014 ("Medic Alert Alarm, free $1,000 grocery coupons and 75% prescription discount card...") SCAM
Caller ID: "New York NY"
Variation on calls I received last December 2013 for free Medical Alert alarm scams. Opens with an offer for a "free" medical alert alarm then offers free $1,000 in grocery coupons and a 75% prescription discount card.
Their recording is very poorly edited, you can tell the original recording was longer and they broke the recording in places leaving words that don't make sense.
Of course they ignore the Federal Do Not Call list, which certainly tells you something about their business ethics, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of the call:
[male voice]"[unintelligible] Hello seniors, due to new health care regulations, you are now eligible to receive a personal medical alert system at no cost to you. Since you've already been referred to by a friend or family member [unintelligible] call to receive your personal medical alert system and by taking advantage today you'll also receive $1,000 in grocery saving coupons plus a 75% prescription discount card. Again, press 1 now to receive your personal medical alert system. Press 9 to opt out."
