New variation of the "free medical alert alarm" offer starting with a statistic that there are recently 281,000 hospital admissions for hip fractures and 1 out of 5 sufferers die within a year. This is scary enough to make me hold on to my credit card and not get a system from a stranger calling my phone to quote hospital statistics about fractures. They called with this same recorded message 26 days ago from a different Caller ID (see above).
Of course they ignore the Federal Do Not Call list, which certainly tells us something about their business ethics, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of this "free Medical alert" offer:
[me:] Hello?
[they:] "Recently there were 281 thousand hospital admissions for hip fractures among people age 65 and older and one out of five hip fracture patients die within a year of their injury. Don't gambol with your personal health and safety. Get a free medical alert system shipped to you for free with no charge for activation but you must act now. Press one to get your free system. Press five to be removed but to be protected 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, press one now." [7 second pause] "Good bye.".
[At least they didn't say "...laying on the floor..." or "...for help just press a buh-uhn..." Gotta give them credit for this, lol.]
