Dean air followed by "Do not hang up. This is NOT a sales call. The chronic pain....." At which point I hung up. There has GOT to be something the government can do to make these nuisance calls stop, if they would just decide to do so. The Do Not Call List has just seemed to make it worse. Some of these @55wipes USE the DNC list AS their calling list, because they know that if the number is on the list, it is a live, active number. And Time Warner Cable needs to allow us to block any dang body we please on the phone service WE PAY FOR, without limiting it to only 30 numbers before they charge charging an extra monthly fee. It's like TWC BENEFITS financially from having more scammers out there calling you than they allow to block for free. Robocalls are illegal in my state but that doesn't seem to matter.
Got a call from this number. CID said Youngstown, NY. My mother had one of these devices after she fell and broke her hip in a room without a telephone and had to crawl to a telephone she could reach. We called the dealer ourselves so we got a reputable firm. The device itself is free. However, there is a monthly charge that goes with having the device. It came with a speaker phone that could be heard all over the house. She fell several times and they called me at work to let me know so that I could go home. So, they are a good investment if you have an elderly relative living alone because they are too independent to move in with you. This particular call is a scam, but the idea and the device (First Alert) is a very good product. Just make sure you are the one who calls and don't call these clowns.
I just got a call from this number telling me, "THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION". In an effort to stop illegal/overuse of narcotic pain medicine, the insurance companies have authorized a new cream that can be applied directly where the pain is. Instructed to press 1 to accept the delivery or 5 to do something else (I quit listening closely). When I did not press a button, the call disconnected. Nobody in our household take prescription pain medicine!
