The caller, Senior Alert ( on my phone ), called us again @18:38, 13/18/2013, while we were out of town. Since I received many calls from Senior Alert, but different area codes & numbers. I returned the call. The message said:
we can used Automatic Opt Out, 999666 xxxxx. to remove my numbers after 72 hours .They tried to follow FCC, giv's rule.. Each times the used different number to call us. According www.800notes.above they started to used this number to call people 10/24/2013.
Beware of this phone number: 360-633-9336 (Phone# lookup said from: Silverdale, Washington). Also beware of 323-281-1438*. This site [800notes.com] said latter phone number was from Montebello, CA.
The recording never said what company or agency they were with, nor did my caller ID say company name. Caller ID just said: "Senior Alert".
The ph# 360-633-9336 robocall recording said: "...you qualify to receive $3000 in free groceries -- saving certificates, & a free medical alert bracelet." Then Recorded voice told me to "Press '1' to talk to representative". I didn't.
This is 2nd time this month we have received this call. Both times we have NOT pressed "1", but I think next time I will just to see where this presumed [senior citizen] scam will go. Human will probably ask me to "please verify by giving us your Date of Birth, and last 4 digits of Social Security Number."
OF COURSE, I Won't!!!" But, I bet they do, and !!! don't anybody else give out even this info!!!!
Giving out your Date of Birth and last 4 digits of your Social Security Number may seem perfectly harmless ans safe. IT ISN'T SAFE!!! to give out these.
BEWARE!!! Identity thieves can even use this info to *steal* your ID.
Respectfully yours, Cookie of NC.
