Another call from "Alert 626-668-6617" on 10/29/2014 at 11:40 AM offering free medical alert systems to Senior Cotizens over the age of 65 years old.
Seems to be a lot of scam calls coming from California. Not the first time this so called company has called my phone and most likely won't be the last time either. 2 other phone numbers they are using are:
Alert 562-224-2416 Long Beach California
Alert 818-420-4436 Van Nuys California
Yep. I get these calls several times a week. Sometimes with the same phone number or a different phone number. It's supposly from a so called company called "Alert" offering free medical alert systems to Senior Citizens over the age of 65 years old.
Nothing in life is Free.
I know it's some type of scam, becuase in the message it states that "this has been approved by your health care provider" and it also states "Seniors press 1 now" or "press 5 to inform your health care provider you decline shipment".
Now, every time I go to my primary doctor, he/she never mentions to me about getting a medical alert system nor does he/she ever mentions about paper work being submitted on my behalf and because nothing is ever being mentioned to me, indicates to me that this is nothing but a scam in order to obtain your personal information.
Yes its just another scam...they call from other different numbers..so I returned the call and was directed to press 1 to have my name removed their list. The posts from others is true, they are targeting senior citizens, which I am not closed to being one. The previous owner of my residence was. Well I did it and was promised that within 72 hours my number would be removed, but the scammers keep calling. First off, I shouldn't have to tell telemarketers to remove my number from their call list, thats what DNC list is for, but like most things in our federal government, we the public are not important enough. One thing is sure those elected in Washington do not get these calls
