Called cell phone yesterday. Do not pick up any number I do not recognize. Male recording left voicemail about medical alert blah, blah, blah. California area code. I am in NJ.
I got the same call with the same automated message. The good news is that I've found a way to stop 95% of unwanted phone calls that I was receiving! My phone provider (TWC) is offering customers a *select forwarding* option. That means I'm able to automatically forward telemarketer numbers (such as this 914-935-3532 number) right on over to a different Telemarketer number! And since most phone providers can only offer up to 30 phone numbers you can block, the select call forwarding option is way better because there is NO limit! Lastly- I've also received a phone call from the supposed American Cancer Society today as well. But when I called the American Cancer Society, they told me that they do donation drives late in the fall. (Around the holidays) I talked to them about my concern insofar as the number one phone scam that is generated from people who identify themselves as being from the American Cancer Society! I said the age of donating money via people calling them is OVER due to the scams. The Rep said he agreed and they (American Cancer Society) is even cutting way back on the calling method to raise funds! The other good thing that came about, is that when you call the American Cancer Society, you can request your number be removed as well. So now I know, (without a shadow of a doubt) anyone who calls me and identifies themselves and being from American Cancer Society is SCAM! ; )

Received on cellphone at 10:40a this morning. Saw the call come in and declined it since I don't know anyone from Port Chester, NY. Robocall about a personal medical alert system with options to press numbers to accept the call or 9 to opt out, like that would ever happen. This will become just another one of the dozens of blocked calls on my iPhone, which I swear now has more blocked calls than contacts these days. Idiots ...
