Usually scammers don't call my cell phone but I guess they did this time. I was expecting some personal calls today, and also because I live in the same Arizona area code, I assumed I was getting a "call back".
Once I heard the recorded message telling me fantastic news of how they were going to help me with my student loans, I hung up. I realize that could be considered "rude" by some folks, but considering that on returning from a year long travel adventure in beautiful Southeast Asia (1968), my rich Uncle Sam and the state of Illinois pitched in to pay my way to earn a Bachelor and Masters Degree. Never needed a student loan so they were rude not to find actual people who might be dumb enough to use their overpriced products.
The caller said he was from Medicare and returning my call about back and/or knee braces. He wanted to know which brace I was inquiring about. Since I had no previous conversation with Medicare about back or knees, I felt this was a scam 928-237-4826
