I suspect the caller spoofed the caller ID.

I received a call from this number about 2:15 pm Wednesday, May 31, 2017. The caller asked whether I was satisfied with my Obamacare Health Plan. When they asked their yes or no question about whether I would like to hear about their less expensive medical plans, instead of answering with a yes or no, I asked whether any of their plans work with Medicare. Sky View Homes (a strange name for a health insurance company) hung up on me.

My caller ID identified the number as "Sky View Manufacturing," but my call record identified the number as "Jack Kozloski" from Elkhart, Indiana. I suspect this is a legitimate number and that neither the company nor the owner had anything to do with the call.

Please remove this report. I mixed information from two calls. I will re-submit the information as two separate reports that do not combine information. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

To be clear, this number, 574-329-2500 was also from an unidentified telemarketer, but the details I reported were incorrect.

(This is a corrected report which should replace my previous report)

I received this call from 574-329-2500 about 1:45 pm Wednesday May 31, 2017. It appeared to be one of those phone calls where the operator's goal is to do nothing but capture a voice saying "yes."

They offered me a "free" home security system. They asked whether I was interested. I said, "I'm sure I can design anything I want for less money than a commercial system would cost, but I'll listen." They said, "I'm not sure I heard you correctly. Are you interested?" I said, "no, but I'll listen." They said, "may I transfer you to get your free security system?" I said, "you may transfer me." They said, "I'm not sure I heard you correctly. May I transfer you?"

I hung up.

Once you say "yes" to this kind of phone call, thieves will often hang up at that point, and use the recording of your voice to cause you to appear to have accepted multiple offers. (Of course, that assumes they already have your account information. It's time for me to review my accounts for any $1.00 to $3.00 charges that were not authorized.)
