I actually have a stalker in KY, so needless to say this call struck fear in my all the way to my core!!! Todays number...270-650-2080. Really glad this thread is here and I can ease my mind knowing its random stranger stalking and not the kind that is out to kill me!!!!!

its not a scam. they called on behalf of medicare for 4 years in a row every spring.
see newspaper article in posts below this one.

I've received 2 calls from the same place within an hour with two different numbers.  What good does "DO NOT CALL" do when you keep getting these annoying calls.  When you don't answer
the phone they don't leave a message.  This has got to stop!!  Good thing I can see who's calling
on my TV so that I don't have to run to answer the phone or get up to answer.

I have received a number of calls on my cell from this number.  I don't answer it but I am really tired of the calls because my number is on the do not call list.  Now that I have looked on the net, I see that others are also bothered.

received a phone call with no message

You sound like a professional privacy invader. Disgusting! I keep a loud whistle by my phone in case I ever get someone like you on the ther end.

And stop calling your intended victims stupid -- WE DON'T INVADE YOUR PRIVACY.

Can't get a real job huh?

Hey stupid, that was a legit survey they were doing...they weren'
t actually part of medicare, but medicare hired the agency to do the surveys....really you old people are way too paranoid....

calls coming through to unlisted phone number.  annoying

We have been getting phone calls also from "Thoroughbred Re" but the number is different from what you're reporting.  The number that shows up is 270-650-2080.  We are also on the "Do Not Call List" but I don't believe it works as we are getting all kinds of calls.  Lately, I have been answering and telling them (not so nicely!) not to call our number again.  They still call.  What are we supposed to do???????

So far we've received two calls from this number today.  I didn't answer either because I didn't recognize either the number or the name "Throughobred re".  I looked up area code after the first call and found it was Kentucky western counties.  After the second, I Googled the area code and name and got this site, among others.  We also are on Do Not Call list.

BITE ME

never leave a message and don't have caller id of company name.  call every day.

An individual who pays for phone service should not have to be required to listen to incessant rings with the associated calls from charities or tax-exempt institutions.

All of these post are way, way, off base.   Your government contracts with Thoroughbred to do the Medicaid/Medicare survey.   As such, they do not have to abide by the "Do Not Call" regulations.  

Also, the number listed to be dialed by Thoroughbred was given to Medicare/Medicaid as the number to call for the recepient of these benefits (Medicare/Medicaid).    Additionally, if you do not want them to call again, the person to whom they are calling must tell them so, not a third party.    Regards.

These Thoroughbred Research people are at it again. I have reported them, again, to the FCC for calling my cell phone. Cell phones can be identified by their prefixes, so this company has no respect for the law, nor the people they harass.

It is sad that people can sink so low in life that they engage in this type of activity just to earn a buck.

Beware of these people for they will call repeatedly with different numbers 270-450-1600.  They have nothing to do with horses.

We have had over a dozen calls from 270-985-1422.  We do not take their calls but they keep calling.  We are on the no-call list.  Can't someone do something about these people.  Their ID is Thoroughbred Re . . something . .

Told him I had no interest in participating in Medicare Survey.  When he kept talking, I said goodbye and hung up.   I will not answer this number again.

How do they get cell phone numbers????  and the call came thru at 8:30 my time, which had to quite late their time in KY.  I don't answer any calls that I don't know who is calling on my home phone, but usually don't look that closely on my cell -- I will from now on, however.  They've never called on my home phone, but I can't figure out how they got my cell phone number.

Received a call from 270-985-1422 on 7-30-2010 at 7:55 p.m.  Did not answer.  Do not know anyone in KY.

June 2 call using Thoroughbred Research, May 29 call with same name using number 270-643-0222 and suspected other numbers. Refuse to stop calling.

Received the call at 6:30am, did not take the call, did not recognize the number, did not see a name on the caller id, just KY.

called to speak to my wife, would not identify themselves and hung up with no message Caller Id "Thoroughbred Re"

We had the same calls. Did you have blood work done recently or other medical tests? Some results are sent online.

I've gotten three calls from them in the past 24 hours, from three different numbers.

I'm involved with Thoroughbred racing and first thought it might be some racing-related charity. Wasn't planning to answer, anyway, but the information provided here has been enlightening.

unknown caller

They are also operating under another phone number, 270-985-1422,
I spoke with the individual on the other end of the line.  He told me he was representing Medicare and was calling me about my Medicare coverage.  He even had my social security number, date of birth and address.  I asked him pointedly if he was actually a member of Medicare, the government organization.  He said know and right away I knew he was a fraud.  I called Social Security as soon as I hung up.  They advised me to do the following:  contact Federal Trade Commission and Fraud Hotline.  Also my local police.  I will also contact FBI fraud division.  Too bad you didn't find out what they are really up too.  You may be in for a horrendous surprise

I'm happy this forum is here.   I got a call from them yesterday and today, but they didn't leave a message and I didn't answer.  I looked up the area code on the internet and thought, "gee I don't know anybody from Kentucky" so I'm glad I didn't answer it.  I put my number on a do-not-call registry a while back, but obviously something is weird.  I don't even care who it is, I just wish they wouldn't bother me!

BEWARE!!! this is a Scam!!! I called Medicare and they told me is not their number and also that they never call anybody, they usually contact people by mail. This person has been calling me several times. they told me to just not answer it or tell him that you're going to report it.
Good luck
Peace!!!
