Call received at 9:45 a.m. (Central).  Caller ID:  "URGENT".    Since I don't know anyone named "URGENT", the call
was not answered and was subsequently blocked by my Sentry Call-Blocking device.   This medical alert pitch has been
going on, in different forms, for years now.   If you answer, or "press 1" like they suggest, you are simply confirming that
your phone number is a valid one, and more calls will come.  Don't pick up!

They called this morning and were very polite.  They wanted to give me some coupons for extra food that I could give out in the office.  However, they wanted my information (SS#, etc.) before they could send the coupons out.  I gave them my medical ID# and everything except for my Social Security #.  They said this would cause them extra work and the caller started yelling, asking me if I understood what trouble I was causing.  I felt so bad that I just hung up the phone.  Do not answer this call, the people are rude.

Thanks, that was a good tip not to confirm you are a valid number.  What is century block calling?

I wonder what would happen if you gave a fake SS#.  Maybe I should give out my ex-wife's <grin>
