Robocall Scams Push Medical Alert

Systems

The latest in unwelcome, illegal, prerecorded sales calls are from scammers

pitching a safety alert system for older adults.

The callers spoof a phone number so it looks like a local call on caller ID. If

you pick up, youll hear a message saying youre eligible for an alert system,

or system upgrade, or that someone bought a system for you. The message

asks you to press one on your phone to talk to a live operator, who will

quickly ask for a bank account, credit card, or Medicare number, and maybe

an address, to expedite shipping and handling.

What is the best response? Do not press a number, and dont speak to a live

operator. People who gave their information have seen monthly charges of

$35 and up for that free system. Ifyou get a call with a recorded sales

message and you haven't given the company your written permission to call,

the call is illegal. Since the call itself is illegal, you can bet the offer is a

scam. If you gave information to one of these callers, check your account

statements.

If you find unexpected charges, ask your bank or credit card Company to

remove them. Finally, contact the FTC online or at 1-888-382-1222 to report

your experience.
