This caller claimed to be calling TO SET UP A TIME TO DELIVER your new home alert system. He identified the company as the "I Have Fallen & Can't Get Up" people. I told him in no uncertain terms I was not interested & he called back again 20 minutes later. This time I very clearly informed him never to call again. They proceeded to call back another 2x the very next day.
This a lot worse than annoying; it is a terrible scam targeted at the elderly. I just happened to be there each time he called because my grandmother just got our of the hospital. I could be wrong, but I feel the multiple calls may have been because the caller realized he was not speaking to the elderly person he was supposed to be targeting.
If these con artists had spoken with my grandmother who is 86 & can barely hear on the phone, who knows what info he could have gotten out of her. I am especially upset by the opening line being WE ARE CALLING TO SET UP THE DELIVERY OF YOUR NEW ALERT SYSTEM. I find it highly possible she could have very easily assumed one of her other children or grandchildren had set this up for her. That would have lowered her guard (which his already reduced from hearing loss) & easily confused her into giving out address & social security numbers, or even worse her credit card.
I am SO angry at these sub human con artists trying to confuse & rip off the elderly. I intend to devote as much of my time as it takes to report them to every government agency I can find so hopefully they can not prey upon any more of our older loved ones.
You might want to delete your post... or at least edit it.
This is a public website and now you've just posted your phone number for other scammers to use.
Telling someone to stop calling you here does no good.
Have called TV stations..ans."Call the Police"!!
Have called Verizon...ans. You can block the call for a fee, we can not do that!!
Security must like to listen in and hope to find a bomber...!!!!
Do not want this call. Thus number is for elderly people in Hospice care. Their children will report and handle people who harass through unwanted calls.
