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:
I received calls from this number 3 days in a row. I did not answer the first two days. Yesterday afternoon I picked it up. "Richard", who is calling from a call center, barely speaks English. He begins to tell me my computer has a dangerous virus, but luckily for me, he can fix it. I said.. hey Babu, what is your real name. He responded Vikesh and a last name I couldn't pronounce. I cut off his babbling and asked if he was in Calcutta. He said no Bangalore (India). I asked how he knew my computer had a virus and he said they have very special systems there. I said listen Babu... you are full of elephant dung. I don't have a computer and don't call again. The no call list is another government joke......

Lucky for me my rejection service will except 3 digit area code, so since I do not know anyone in these area codes I put them all in. Thank you for taking the time to listing them all.
