I received a call from 458-201-2431... with no one on the phone. I was annoyed and called back to talk with someone there.. I only received a message that If I wanted to be placed on their no call list press one! I am now concerned that I accidentally approved something so they can charge my phone mega $$$$
They're still using the number - I just got a call from it with ALERT in the caller ID. I can't use nomorobo with my phone, but I have a Panasonic cordless system that lets me block 250 numbers - and this is now one of them.
I got called earlier this evening, I answered and immediately got a longwinded recording claiming that "If I'm 60 years or older I'm eligible to receive over $300.00 worth of free coupons, and how I can get my free life alert system." I waited for the recording to end, pressed 1 as instructed to get an operator, a woman answers ( a f u c k i n g Indian with a shrilling high pitched voice.) I tried to get some pertinent information out of her regarding who she works for, and all that Indian b i t c h would do is talk over me asking for my name. I finally told her where she can stick it and hung up. So many of these scams originate in India. The land of smelly, cheap, ruthless, scheming thugs! If this number calls me again I won't be quite so "cordial."
6/12 19:37 I'm sure I've reported calls from Alert in the past, but it must have been from a different number. In any case, it only rang once so it must have been a robotic call. Whatever the case may be, eventually, I hope this scam is shut down. This preying on seniors is getting really old. Just wish there weren't so many gullible elders out there.
You're dead wrong that this scam originated from India. Only our good ole USA can cook up this kind of law-skirting techno robo mass dialing and then farm the answering to the poor suckers in India, and let them either gather the responding idiot data or receive our wrath. Hahaha
