I get the same prerecorded call every day between 11:00am and 12:00pm about a medical alert device. They clearly associate themselves with AARP, and state that I have been referred by my physician. The call goes on to say that I’m entitled to $3000.00 worth of food coupons and that the system is already paid for, and all I have to do is press (1) to confirm my address.
My elderly father is in physical therapy, and these calls started as soon as the land-line number was entered into Inova’s VNA system, and I suspect that Inova’s computer system is compromised.
It does absolutely NO GOOD to “block” their numbers. Because they use a different one every day! So Far they have used:
If the phone companies didn't promote such calling based on profit motive, we'd see regulations that require companies to provide .no-cost call-blocking and company restrictions on obvious scam calling.
Someone selling a medical alert system. They left a recorded message saying they wanted to send the system free of charge, along with $3000 in coupons.
It is getting so we can't answer our phone anymore!
