I got a call from them today. When I answered I heard what sounded like "boiler room" noises in the background and couldn't understand what they were saying , so hung up. I only have a mobile phone, and usually this is the kind of stuff associated with landlines, so that's why it's troubling. During the month of January, I've been getting calls from "unknown", from a weird 8 digit number in MA and from Texas, Maryland and Washington. All of them have also been calling people on these boards with the same type of stuff, personal medical questions, promises of a "medical card", etc. One of them asked about my bladder surgery. I told them I'd never had bladder surgery but even if I had, I'm not sure it was their business because of medical privacy. At one point they were calling 4-5 times a day. Now it's not so often. Most of the time I ignore the calls. They never leave messages. I've filed complaints with both Clark Howard and the WA Attorney General. It seems very reminiscent of phishing, except on the phone.
I received 4or 5 calls from this number today. I answered the 1st time asking who they were. why they were calling and what they wanted. The man that responded had a foreign voice and stated that he wanted me and proceeded to tell me he was "a bad boy". I hung up the phone and the number continued to call 3 or four more times -back to back. I finally made a phone call so I would not have to hear my phone ring and he would not get an answer from my number. Would like to report this person !!!! Made me VERY ANGRY !
SCAMMER! This man that was very hard to understand told me he was from the US Medical Health Care Dept. It was the a Government agency. He wanted to know if I or anyone in my family recently had surgery because he might be able to get me money! Please report it to the ftc !
