The number is fake as well as the company. Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Repeat: never ever give personal information over the phone. Not address, full name, credit card, social or banking information.
Report the calls, ignore the calls and warn others. Especially the elderly and the gullible.
Beware. You will receive many more calls. Beware of out of area phone calls and automated telemarketing calls. They are illegal. Don't be a victim!

This number is being used by scammers targeting senior citizens. A very government-like robocall "Attention senior citizens ... etc." - claiming to be "American Alert Services" and offering $3000 in free groceries and a "lifesaving" alert ID in case someone should fall or need help. When asked for further company information, they lied about their location, refused further information and then hung up the phone.
Called, but left no message. Glad I missed it. Also...
I have adopted a "zero tolerance" policy with any calls that have "Not Provided", "Unknown", "Unknown Caller", "Unknown Name", "Anonymous", "Name Withheld", or any variation of the above. I used to allow my answering machine to deal with them, but they seldom leave a message, or sometimes use a noise generator to try to fill up the machine. Now, I simply look at the caller ID, and if it says any of the above, I pick-up long enough to complete the call (1 sec.) and then promptly hang-up. They get charged for a completed call, and I don't have to listen to the phone ring. Then, I come here and look-up the number. I am amazed at the amount crap I have avoided with this method. This method works, there is nothing they can do about it, and it is immensely satisfying to run up their bill. Repeat as often as necessary. :-) Note: I have noticed lately that I am getting a lot of out-of-area-code calls from (purportedly) cell phones. These come up as "New York Call", etc. I'm still letting the answering machine handle these. I never get a message, and still look them up here. It's the usuall suspects, still trying to hide their identity. Do this for any suspicious call you do not recognise. Keep a list, and use the pick-up - hang-up method on them too!!! :-) Also include vague ID's like "Customer Svc"...!
