Called and left message. They started talking before the answering machine started recording ".....reach with a single press of a button 24 hours a day. For your health, safety and piece of mind get your free medical alert system, if you act now, by pressing 1. Press 5 to be remove, but to be protected 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, Press 1 now."
This is a new number and CID. But same old medical alert scam.

This operation called here displaying V followed by the date,time and other numbers. I realize these bogus operations are using these medical alert systems in order to gain friends since they lead empty lives. But I am doing just fine without them.
This is a MedicAlert/LifeAlert scam robocall that launches immediately after you pick up the line. Caller ID says SURVEY.
I just added the number 810-378-3863 to my call blocker. I use a laptop with an external 56k usb modem [HiRO model H50113] and CallClerk (callclerk.com) answering machine/call blocking software. It does not have a 30 number, 50 number, or even a 100 number limit. I can use a whitelist which means that only calls I designate on the whitelist will ring through. All others are intercepted by the computer and a custom message or even a raucous all circuits are busy message and then the telco style fast busy. Or I can individually blacklist/block numbers as they come in, or I can manually add them in ahead of time from the keyboard. I love it.
No I am not the owner or employee. I am a satisfied user.
810-378-3863 2:49 9/26/2014 This is a fake Life Alert survey call. Life Alert does not use robo calls. They are trying to scam the elderly. Help yourself by blocking these robo calls!
* HOW TO DEFEAT HARASSMENT/ROBO CALLS!! CALL BLOCKERS WORK!!
* *
I research a harassment/scam caller then post this msg every time a robo number calls. NEVER press X to opt out, or respond, because it just adds your name to multiple robo calling lists.
* *
The federal no-call list is a joke - the government does nothing. The phone company wants the money from robo companies and will do nothing to stop the harassment/robo calls. Local police do not have the manpower or technology to track/block these calls. Most robo callers are criminals/scammers. Here is a one-time relatively low cost way to beat those harassment/robo calls.
* *
I have now defeated >90% of harassment and robo calls. I went on-line to Amazon and purchased an in-line "CPR CALLBLOCKER"! It has an inventory of up to 1200 numbers in your call blocker list. Be careful in setting up the list or you get unexpected blockages of valid incoming calls. Start by blocking all calls using caller ID’s of UNAVAILABLE, PRIVATE, or WITHHELD. I have also blocked many robo area codes which have no friends or family - 212, 231, 305, 307, 312, 321, 347, 360, 401, 516, 518, 630, 650, 708, 740, 773, 810, and 970. To block robo calls from area codes with friends and family, DO NOT block the area code, use ONLY complete (area code with phone number) 10 digit number inputs to the blocking list. Add to the list when a new robo/harassment caller gets through! Never use 7 digit inputs to the blocking list or you will have problems! Keep a complete written list of area codes and individual blocking numbers. A small glitch when entering a number into the list can mess up your entire blocking list requiring a hardware reset and complete reprogramming of the list.
* *
Harassment/robo callers frequently use a spoofing APP to create phony incoming caller ID’s on your phone. Hidden characters in a spoofer Caller ID’s number can sneak the robo call past some blockers. I use a separate secondary SENTRY BLOCKER that ignores hidden characters and blocks the call when it’s on.
* *
There are many brands of call blockers other than the ones I have described. Choose yours and BLOCK THOSE HARASSMENT CALLS!!!!!
* *
It is really great fun watching my call blocker light-up and then hang-up when the harassment/robo Caller ID matches the blocking list!!! I especially enjoy it when the call blocker hangs up on a persistent harassment caller!!! Take back your telephone from harassment/robo callers!!!!
