I got a call in the morning from this number: first a plunk, then a male with a very heavy accent began asking me my name, etc. I could not understand a word he said; and determined it is a scam call so I just said I do not know you and I have to go now.... very annoying and aggravating!!!

Answered on 3rd ring and said "Hello" several times until a man with an very hard to understand Indian (I think) accent started talking. He asked if I had back and knee pain.
He also said his organization had a motto to help people. I asked him what organization he was talking about. He answered several times but I could not understand him.
I interrupted him 3 or 4 times and told him to never call back and to take my number off any and all calling lists. He muttered something and kept trying to tell me about back and knee pain. My wife gestured and told me to "Get off the phone. You've given that person too much time already!" I hung up.
Today I had received 2 prior calls that rang and there was no one there. Each call had different Caller ID. I think it was a line test to see if they had a live number to scam.
I suspect this was a scam to get my Medicare number (aka Social Security Number) and anything else that they could use to scam me. Maybe personal information and/or financial information. The 3 numbers are now blocked until they call with a new number.
Caller ID said "MS ST OF" but that was probably spoofed.
The caller stated they calling about Medicare. I hung up. Last week it was some one stating they were from the IRS. Both callers had a heavy Indian accent.
