Followup..
I found text of the above mentioned scam listed elsewhere on this site. I will paste a copy here for your benefit. It is a prerecorded message that pretends to be live.
"Hi, uh, this is John from the shipping department of Emergency Medical Alert, I was calling to uh schedule a delivery of your medical alert system, it's uh the "fallen, and I can't get up" type of system you've seen on TV. Looks like the system's been uh recommended by thousands of hospitals and medical professionals, uh, let's see, says here that the system's already been paid for. Looks like you're getting the system because uh either yourself, a friend, a family member or maybe even someone you know has experienced a fall in the past so uh again it's already been paid for so there's no cost to your whatsoever. Also says here that the shipping has already been paid for so to uh schedule the delivery of your Emergency Medical Alert System press 1 uh again to uh have your system shipped out to you press 1 now...press 5 to decline the shipment of your system.."
It was pointed out, that it is a scam, because they tempt you with free junk just so you will end up paying monthly service fees...most likely crammed on your phone bill.
Final note: I have 2 phone numbers. One on the DNC list, and the other one not on the list. Guess which number gets all the scam calls. I keep telling everyone here. The DNC list is the scammers personal phonebook. Wanna test my theory?
Put every phone number on the DNC list, of anyone who has anything to do with making laws. See how soon they do something.
