Same story as all the rest. They ring but didn't leave an answer. Glad I didn't answer. I still think the crank calls and spam are worse now than ever.
The same is happening for my elderly father. The calls begin early in the morning, and continue late into the night. They identify themselves as being a diabetic supplier. My elderly father cannot understand their foreign accents. Most of the time he hangs up because he can't understand their heavy accents. I have taken a few of these calls for him, and they hang up on me. I have made it clear that we don't won't to receive any further calls, but the calls persist on a daily basis. What they are hoping to learn from their un-fruitful efforts...I don't know. I have instructed my elderly father not to speak to anyone unless he knows who it is. I just recently gave him my phones which are new. He had been using the old phones from the 1960's. He can now identify the caller before he answers. I would like to know what we can do about these unwanted callers who are no doubt scammers.
They are scammers, and they will continue the calls. They call morning and night here. It is aggravating to my family, and I would like personally to find out what I can do about these calls.
My elderly father is receiving calls morning and night from these individuals posing to be as my father say's "Mr Diabetic." My father receives supplies from a different vendor, and he has told them as such; but the calls persist. These individuals are foreign with heavy accents. My father cannot understand anything they say, nor can I, as I have spoke with them personally asking for the calls to stop. I don't understand how they were able to acquire my father's PHI, but it goes further then that. They have also attempted uncucessfully in obtaining my father's Social Security number. This makes the second attemp in one week for these scammers to obtain person information from my elderly father. The second attempt I will report seperately. Something needs to be done. Since many elderly do not have computers, much less internet access; they are targeting the elderly as easy prey. They come to you in the form of phone calls, and prize letters which are too good to be true. Beware!
Health Services calls about 2 to 3 times each day. They never leave a message and if you answer, they ask about your diabetes. (No one is my extended family has diabetes) Strong foreign accent difficult to understand. Have asked repetively to be taken off there list but they continue to call. I have just set up call forwarding to the FTC and have all my friends call my cell.
Just received a call from this number. ID listed them as Health Services. They are not! They didn't want to speak to me, and would leave a message, because I wasn't the party they were looking for. They hung up immediately. I then decided to check their number, and found many people upset about the calls.
