Who called from 2168162887

I never answer when they call my cell.  I've called the number back from my work phone to see who it is and there is a generic auto answer of "thank you for calling customer service".  Offers you to press 1 to be connected to a representative, and all the times I've done this, I get a message that says all our agents are busy, please email your questions to [email protected].  I'm afraid to "enter my phone number in their do-not-call registry", not wanting to confirm that the number they stalker-call is an active phone number.

Caller ID said Independence, OH. I answered and the caller said "hi my name is joe and I'm a Medicare representative" then the called ended. I don't have Medicare nor will I have it anytime soon...lol.

DO NOT SAY ANYTHING
This is a part of a scam, asking you questions such as "Can you hear me" or "are you there" that would usually result in an answer of "yes," or "yeah." What these people are doing is recording you, then sending you a bill, forcing you to pay it as they now have/will stage a fake phone call using your audio and responses of "yeah," as if you actually wanted to be charged for something. You're welcome

I found this forum by searching the email address you listed ([email protected])  I also get calls from these scammers like 2-4 times per week.  This is a scam, and it's voice activated recordings - my advice is NEVER say the word YES should you interact.  They are recording that and then can use that as your voice confirming anything.  It's usually either Joe, Billy or some lady that are recordings, then if you calmly say "OK" without any other background noise, you'll make it to a live agent who will tell you they are in Florida (yeah right).  They always spoof phone numbers - so it isn't just the number you listed, they display the same area code as your own phone number, so for me, it displays as "614".  Please help me report these people by filing a report on donotcall.gov (you can only file if you are on the do not call registry).

Can you also help me report these people?  do so on donotcall.gov  - they only look into complaints when there are multiple ones about the same issue.  You can only file a complaint if you are on the do not call registry.
