Received a call. No one was on the line after my answer.

"We have a medical alert system ready to be shipped out to you..."
scam.

Telemarketer Call: March 17, 2016

The phone rang and this alleged number appeared on the caller ID screen. This appears to be a first for this one. I guess these people who are so desperate to be my friend simply called to wish me a Happy St Patrick's Day. But I guess I will never know since I decided not to answer. I sure hope I didn't leave them in tears.
All kidding aside,  I have decided to find the humor in simply ignoring the calls that come from unfamiliar sources. I am not sure what this one was all about,  but I will check back here to see what others are saying to be sure it is a direct violation of the DNCR.
My simple reason for this is based on the fact that primary day is about a month away and this could be some alleged political call begging me to vote for a specific candidate. The only problem is that I am no longer eligible to vote in the primaries since I became a registered independent. Nonetheless I am extremely skeptical of political calls. Especially considering the fact that I have received political calls displaying numbers with invalid area codes  and prefixes.

Just got a call from this number. Didn't pick up. My robocall blocker stopped it after one ring. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

got a call from 347-455-3725 left a message that my personal medical alert system is ready to ship out.  Press 1 now, or press 9 to opt out.  Scam since I am way too young to need a personal medical alert system.
