Got another call this week. I hope the Virginia AG's office is onto this, since this hurts seniors and others. However, I have little hope since Cuccinelli is only interested in publicity, and didn't have the guts to step down from office to campaign under old Virginia tradition. Frankly, I knew something was wrong about Cuccinelli nearly 4 years ago when I got a call from a San Antonio Texas number urging his election, and a couple of years ago I met a guy who said he was hired by some Washington law firm to "maintan" Cuccinelli's wikipedia page, even though I researched and learned at the time he was suspended for violations. I also have little confidence in McAulliffe, since both seem to be the same-old backroom politicos. I thought McDonnell was clean until I heard in August 2010 about new anti-consumer unwritten rulemaking by the Bureau of Insurance, and then the same guy said he maintained McDonnell's page and that for the liquor board of all things, and then last fall McDonnell adopted a provision to limit access to generic drugs, as the price of getting a single drug company plant.... Have old Virginia values gone by the wayside?
Yet I met Cooch's first assistant West accidentally last year (on All Saints Day of all things) and she seemed to have the old Virginia values of integrity, etc. Remember, sharing here is an old Virginia value--George Mason drafted what's now the First Amendment and his fight at the Ratifying Convention long ago gave us the First Amendment and others.
Message from this number on answering machine. Man told me that our emergency medical assistance device was ready for shipment, and that it was free. We didn't order any such device.
Just called, left no message. This sounds like the exact same scam that tried contacting me a few months ago. That call came from 434-533-4061. I love how the crooks keep changing numbers. I'll just block their new number like I blocked their old one. Idiots!
This number calls daily. Same recording about how "someone" paid for an emergency alert device and press 1 to schedule the delivery.
I usually hang up but this time pressed 1. After a minute or so, background music was playing, a female answered, sounded like an Indian accent, identified herself as operator 3333xxx ( did not copy the number down) and asked for my name and address where they could send the medical alert device before I could say anything.
Once she stopped talking I said I would be happy to give her my name and phone number but the purpose of my call was to get her company to stop calling me. I added that I was on the do not call list and that her company calls me everyday. She did not respond and in the middle of my request she hung up.
This company/scam has called me before but a different phone number shows up on caller ID.
I have reported them months ago to the do not call registry but no effect.
