Numerous calls attempting to get us to accept a "prepaid" medical alert button. Please stop from calling. Originally was posting bank of America on caller I'd. And giving no number
They say they're Lifeline. Our local tv says it's a scam, don't give them any information. They've been scamming seniors by saying a member of their family has signed them up for their product. Then they start asking for personal info.
Another week and another pile of scam calls, 15 more calls to be exact. Several new numbers, the same familiar patterns, see below:

I suspect these calls may be part of the same scam organization that stuck my number in their auto-dialer over 13 months ago and has been harassing me ever since. More detail and numbers that have been bombarding me with calls are listed in my posts here:
Well while I do have family in Rockford, Mi (the place this call originated from) none of them have Life Alert and it isn't like I could do anything for them since I live in FL! I look at it this way, if you need help don;t call me or a friend or family member, call 911 - Of course no message was left and I haven't heard of any "urgent" or life threatening matter relative to any one I know.
For some reason Scammers/Telemarketers/Survey Takers/Political Organizations and the Highway Patrol Donation folks etc think ALL of us are really stupid! I guess they forgot that SOME of us intentionally do NOT answer calls where the number and/or name if shown is unrecognized. Sometimes I wonder why I even have a phone as I get maybe 3 inbound calls a month from people I actually know. I do make a number of outbound calls, so having a phone is a good thing. No big deal - they can call and I don't have to answer unless I am in a mood to argue with someone. It makes the home front calmer as I can get any aggression I may have out on some idiot that was stupid enough to think I am just as stupid. Sounds like a WIN-Win to me!
I TOO GOT A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER AND ONLY PICK UP PHONE WHEN I KNOW A PERSONS NAME. DO NOT CALL IS A HOAX IN ITSELF. THEY MOST LIKELY SELL NAMES. WISH I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS FOR REAL AND A GOOD THING. THEY ALL SHOULD BE THROWN IN A DEEP PIT AND FORGOT ABOUT. THE CROOKS.
1-616-613-2226 These folks are real scammers. They call on the first day and want to sell you "senior citizen" help and want to set up an appointment for some man to come out and "help" you with any Senior problems that you might have. Get caller-ID and don't get caught up with these people. Folks like this need to see some jail time.
