I received a call also today around 650 with the same [***] called my wife and she was ok this dude got one comming

Make a police report.  Go to the media.

They called and said a family member was in an accident. They were an emt. Same stuff as above. Absolute scumbags. Report this number to the police

Ironically, I'm not part of social media for these exact reasons. I have no social media accounts and don't engage in such, however they were still able to find me due to my brother. The fact that they found my name, number & associated me with him as his emergency contact seems more than just a "random dialing" because there are only a few places where that information is given to, ie the er, hospitals, schools.. just goes to show you our information isn't safe anywhere. I have read that they are going through thousands of calls a day off of databases that get traded with numbers and info. Also filed a report, the police seemed more amused that concerned

At 4:30pm a man called saying he had a female member in my family that had been in an accident, soundling like he was a peramedic, and that the number he was given to call as emergancy contact for her was my number. When I questioned why he called me (as the number was a company phone and there is no owner), he then used foul language. I immedately hung up and called 911 to give them this phone number.
