Call came in as "Senior Alert", saying $3,000 worth of groceries would be given in certificates", which I knew was a scam. Said to press 1 to speak to someone, and 5 to be removed from calling list.
Pressed 1 and hung on.....guy came on identifying himself as "John, ID # 7975" with Sr. ASSISTANCE.
I told him to give me the information to write down, and he then said Alert Care, which was a "service" to help seniors, with bracelets to wear in case they fall. I told him I needed to get the info right to give to my attorney to collect my $500 for his call. He said many tried, but it was no illegal, because they were only trying to HELP seniors and be of service. I said, "right, and you are receiving absolutely NOTHING in return, is this correct?" He said, well, there is a monthly fee, and I told him that violates the solicitation laws, so my $500 would be collectable. I told him he should get a "real job" and not harrass people being a [***], and he said I shouldn't talk to him that way, and I told him it's my phone, I pay the bill, and I'll talk anyway I want, so his best option is not to call to hear it, and get a real job. I'm into sharing the aggravation......
received a call at 4:38 pm Oct 28 2013. The phone read security screen with no number. Left no message. I then looked at the phone after because the phone was flashing as if it had meant to leave a message, so I checked the last number recall. It was 925 225 2374. The phone said senior alert. It was a computer message that said I could leave a message. Where the hell do they get unlisted numbers. Get off my dam phone.
Received this call right at meal time tonight at 6:35 pm. I refused the call and never answer calls 800 0r 877 or toll free. Tired of this crap. ID said it was senior alert. Yea, right......
