Called last night, they said something over the answering machine greeting so I obviously couldn't hear or understand, they were already gone after the beep sounded. Obvious robo call.
I got the same call from this #. I usually do not pick up a 1-800 # call but every once in a while if I am up to it I will pick up a call like this hoping it is a scam. I then string them along acting like an incompetent person with some interest in what they are saying...dodging questions I do not yet want to answer with feedback that makes them have to work to get me to the next step :-) On this call I got them to tell me their company name: "National Health Relief". I also did a pretty darn good acting job as if I had memory loss...so, darn I could only remember the month and decade I was born...they tried to send me to the next step anyway. They knew my name, obviously my # and my zip code...good start. They thought I was on medicare...or maybe hoped. The last thing they wanted to do was transfer me to what they called the TV Commercial Company and then give the person (no doubt working with them) picking up the phone on that other end a FIRM, "Yes" that I was the caller and saw the TV commercial....I toyed with them a bit on that..."What commercial?"..."ahh...You....you called me, I did not call you"...sounding like I was confused by the "reality" they were trying to get me to portray...HA...I then hung up....during that call I folded clothes....LOL
