Received call from number....Heavy accent...stating he was from "Medical health Care Center". My name was given because their list shows I had taken "Risperdal" a depression medication with side effects. He then tried to get personal information from me. Told him his list was wrong and do not call any further...he went on and on...ended up blocking the call from my phone....SCAM!
Just got a call from someone at this number at 2:28PM today. A woman with a strong accent asked if any male members of my family had taken Risperdal, saying that she was from medical company. I'm an RN, so my husband handed me the phone. She said that we could be owed money for unwanted side effects of Risperdal. I asked her if she was talking about risperidone, and she said, no, Risperdal. Definitely scam--risperidone is the generic name for Risperdal, and she had no clue. I got angry, said we would never give personal medical information to any stranger calling on the phone.

Same deal. Calling about medical information compensation. Called once at 9 a.m., then again around 10:15 a.m., on Labor Day, no less. Told him to never call me back again. Bunch of creeps.
I have received four calls from ,786-504-5876, it is unwanted calls. They have called me twice today. Please make them stop. I have family in Florida and when I see a Florida call, I worry a bit. Thank you.
