We received a call from 312-239-6579 ("ILLINOIS CALL") during the early afternoon of June 6, 2011. The caller claimed to be "Bonnie" from "home healthcare agencies" who insisted on speaking to my elderly mother. She asked if I was her (I did not answer) and asked if she had Medicaid or Medicare. Bonnie claimed that her company was a "liaison" to home healthcare agencies and helped to get "free services" via Medicaid/Medicare. (Yeah, right, "free.") I asked Bonnie if her company was a not-for-profit and she couldn't answer. I asked her if we had done business with her company in the past (we hadn't) and she couldn't answer. I then told her she should add our number to their do not call list. I also told her not to call back and that, since she was in violation of the government's do not call list, her call would be reported.
Apparently the prize distribution scammers who previously used this number have found a new scam. All I can tell you is that you should never give out your personal information to anyone who calls you like this offering you something for nothing. Nothing is free and there's always a catch. They may be trying to steal your identity or worse. Be careful!
this is the number that called me back after I called them at the number they left on my voicemail wanting me to claim my prize. Instead they claimed a Big Prize when I blasted them with my Air Horn at both numbers, the one I called and the one that called me back to tell me how rude I was to their employee. Here is a list of 3 numbers, one on my caller ID is 312-962-0077, one I called to find out why they won't stop calling and they wanted to sell me a trip, 855-841-6089 and the return caller from 312-239-6579
All I had to do was give him my credit card and S.S. numbers to confirm my identity for tax reporting and I could be on my way in my new $65,000 Lincoln!!!!
I gave him bogus numbers and he said that I was the winner and would have delivery in 2 days!!!
