These people call my business continually to try to sell me insurance, and they use a spoofed local number. Today when the same thickly-accented Middle Eastern chick called and said her name was Toni with Insurance-Something-or-Other, I screamed at the top of my lungs, "STOP CALLING ME" and hung up. Previous requests to not contact me had gone unheeded, because these a-holes just hang up and call back the next day. She then proceeded to call my business line rapid-fire over and over and over and over again. I left me phone off the hook for 5 minutes and she apparently has moved on to her next victim, thankfully. The only funny thing is that my husband jumped a mile high off the floor when I unexpectedly screamed into the phone in our otherwise quiet shop LMAO.
Caller said he was looking for (the owner by name). I asked who this was and what the call was regarding. He said he was Edward with US Health Insurance Advisors. I told him "We're good, thank you. Please don't call back." and hung up. Upon Googling, I was surprised to learn this number supposedly belongs to Allison Spear Realtors in TX.
This scammer calls numbers on the national do not call registry in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. They further violate the TCPA by hanging up when asked for a phone number. They claim to be offering discounted health insurance with "better coverage." This is clearly a scam, as any legitimate insurance company would gladly provide their potential customers with a phone number... Do not provide this scammer with any personal or financial information.
Just received a phone call from this number asking for the former manager. When I said she was no longer employed here, he asked me for my name. I didn't give it to him and when I asked what the call was about, he hung up. Sounded Asian and the caller ID said "Gary Greene".
