These "US HealthCare Supply of Milford, NJ" (real company hiring robocall telemarketers, http://www.ushsnj.com/ ) is Medicare fraud on top of any illegal cell calls (fcc.gov issue) or DoNotCall violations (FTC.gov issues).  Medicare fraud complaints against the underlying scammer may be lodged by uploading an information doc or pdf file of complaint info, or voice calling, the Office of Inspector General at HHS.gov:  

http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/index.asp

1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477)  

I was robocalled by this three tier scheme this morning, and then first handed off to someone identifying as John at "American Seniors Assistance", dodging around claiming to be in or working with an agency in Fairfax, VA (from which I'm about 150 miles away).  John asked about diabetes and back pain, and when I said yes to both, quizzed me for a date of birth to refer me to the local supplier.  Cooperating with his script, but acting confused, it turned out he was working from a list with both my parent's names and my address and DoNotCall registered land line, but did not identify a fake date of birth pretending to be my father as fake.  I was caring for my parents from 2002 to 2004, while my father died in 2006 (as to quality of the telemarketer information).  

John described "American Seniors Assistance" as a nonprofit organization, which normally is an exception to DoNotCall, but not if it's a fraud, and being used to market Medicare funded DME (Durable Medical Equipment) for which most outbound telemarketing is banned by Medicare law (including for contractors acting on behalf of approved suppliers).  

In pretensing my dead father (it seemed John expected to reach my institutionalized mother with severe dementia), I qualified for John's questions and was forwarded to a girl whose name was mumbled rapidly at "H Pas", to find the "agency allocated provider in area".  She never spelled out that acronym, which is similar to those of several real healthcare administrator and regulation titles, as others reporting these calls were told "Health Product Assistance for Seniors".  The H-PAS girl largely repeated the same questions John used, and offered the "no pain talking meter" and "supplies delivered at no cost", but dodged around what kind of "back pain solution" that "could be worn under or over cloths" would be supplied without a doctor's visit.  The talking meter and back brace descriptions are consistent with products featured on US Healthcare Supply's Web site.  

This promotion would also appear to be Postal Fraud open to Postal Inspector investigations, as these supplies were promised for delivery by US Mail.  

After the H-PAS girl's review of my confused mostly just "yes" answers (in the guise of my dead father), she offered to connect me to the same supplier others were told, a 2 year old business run by a Jon Letko according to corporate record checks, US Healthcare Supply of Milford NJ.  She gave me the phone 855-350-2509 for them when I asked if there was one "just in case we get disconnected".  She then forwarded me to them, and a Victor Gonzales, who sounded like an actual American employee for the first time, and not some overseas boilerroom worker.  Their info from corporate and directory lookups:  

http://www.ushsnj.com/

US HealthCare Supply
(877) 521-1555
US Healthcare Supply LLC
(908) 505-1800
60 Bridge St, Milford, NJ 08848  (also 14 Bridge St., P.O. Box 372)
Jon Letko, Pres.& Manager   founded 2009, registered also in Florida 2011  

The H-PAS girl told Victor the name, address, and phone the original caller had in his files for my father, and the fake date of birth and diabetes plus back pain conditions I gave him, before dropping off the call she forwarded to him.  Victor then started verifying info, but claimed I called them and said they don't call out and that he cannot do business with anyone outwardly called, as if he's either a trained liar or is trained in Medicare marketing law and didn't know his boss is using a criminal scam.  Victor denied that his company pays telemarketers to make outbound calls as I received.  I asked for his supervisor, to whom he declined to connect me, but did agree to email the boss about my being illegally telemarketed.  

Ultimately, the criminal fraud contractors using a variety of fake CID numbers probably via VOIP aren't likely within FTC or FCC jurisdiction.  If anyone receives any supplies as a result of a parent falling for this scam, that invites a Postal Fraud complaint.  Primarily though, if Jon Letko personally in any present or future company, and the current one US Healthcare Supply LLC of NJ and registered in FL and maybe other states, are banned from doing business with Medicare, their scam is shut down.  

HHS OIG Medicare marketing fraud complaints may be phoned in at the number above, or prepared as a simple text file of tipster identified or anonymous information, and then uploaded after some pull down menu routing and category selections using the "REPORT FRAUD NOW" button at the OIG.HHS.gov link above.  Specific dates, times, numbers called, and addresses or names they appear to already have are useful, though anonymous complaints are also accepted by both phone and that Web link (and could contribute to the case being made higher priority).

Got the call this morning and saw Virginia on the caller-id.  Just did not bother.  I will try the pound sign (#) option as mentioned.  I just do not answer ..... just pickup and hang up quickly is one solution I like to do even if it is a wrong number.

Received a call from this number but did not answer it. Unforturnately, even if one is on the do not call list and even asks to be taken off their call list, the person on the other end just hangs up.  Going out to get a new phone to block these calls. Will try the # suggestion too.  Thanks to those who post here.

this number 571-963-3215 showed on the caller ID, but it is an invalid number.  They were posing as "American Senior's Assistance" to give me a free diabetes blood glucose monitor that when questioned became that they would be billing to Medicare and my secondary.  when askd to provide me with a number where I could call him back, he hung up.

I am not a senior but work in healthcare, so I did not share any information with him. Sounds like he was in a call center in India.

I was told by an ex telecommunication installer that the following action creates an error code with the robo-computer dial system and gets your number kicked out as a non-working number. (used it on this caller) Simply pick up the ringing phone and immediately start pushing the pound # key as fast as possible, at least ten times, then hang up. DO NOT SPEAK A WORD just press the key really fast. Good luck.

I don't remember seeing this one before.  The caller ID says "Name Unavailable."  They leave no voice message.  I assume they are a scam.

I rec'd a call from this number this morning from a live person. He asked me personal medical questions. I asked him who he was and who he represented he paused and spouted something about an agency that helps elderly folks pay for medications if on medicare. I am no where near the age to get medicare and when I told him that he hung up on me.
I would like to know who do we report this number to?

Got a call from this number too.  Ironic thing is that I am nowhere near Medicare age!  Obviously, their sources are bad.

Got a call today from 571-963-3215. I answered and after a brief pause a recording started a spiel about signing up for Medicare. How they knew if I was or wasn't eligible for Medicare I have no idea. After a couple of seconds I could tell it was some kind of scam so I immediately hung up. These telemarketing scammers never give up and continue to invent new ways to get our money. What a shame.
