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 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 suppllier 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).

I have received numerous calls from 571-963-3219.  I have been promised cars, money TODAY if I put in $1000.00 for the caller.  He has asked for my card number.  When I mention that I am going to talk to the police, he gets ugly.  I hang up.

I get these calls over and over again.

What's the point in reporting these calls to the Do Not Call registry?  Has anyone ever gotten a call back or seen these calls stopped after reporting?  In my opinion, it is just another government agency wasting our taxpayer dollars.  I'd rather the government spend money to find some sort of device to put on phones to block these numbers.  That's the only way they will stop.

Robocall talking about some 'important medical information.'  To paraphrase:  "If you are a senior suffering from back pain or diabetes, and are on Medicare, you may be entitled to medical supplies at no cost to you."  

This is a phishing expedition (a scam).  These people are either looking to engage in Medicare fraud/overbilling or they're identity thieves.  Don't give them any of your personal information.

Do not press any number to speak to anyone or to supposedly be removed from their calling list.  Hang up.  Report each call to www.donotcall.gov.  Add them to your phone's address book under SCAM.  Block the number if you can.

they called today. i answered on my extension phone (no called ID capability). the recorded voice said, and i quote: "this is an urgent message about your medicare......"  i just hung up the phone.

all this just begs the questions:

-robo calls directed to medicare members?

-where did they get a database of phone numbers for only those people?
they are crooks

It's terrible that these crooks are calling you repeatedly, especially so early in the morning.

You have to report each call to www.donotcall.gov.  When you make each report, give them the tally of exactly when these crooks are bothering you, which means you have to keep accurate notes of the day and time of each call.

Do not answer them.  I know it's annoying, but you cannot talk to these crooks.  Do not give them the time of day.

Add them to your phone's address book under SCAM so that you don't pick up.  Block the number if you can (or call your phone company to see if they can help you do this).

Some people like to blow a loud whistle into the phone.  It may feel good, but the tactic may backfire when these crooks call you even more often at all times of the day/night.  You're better off not to answer at all and to continue to report them to www.donotcall.gov.  Good luck!

Caller claims to be from a fake company called "American Senior Assistance" which they say is located in Fairfax, Virginia.

Besides 571-963-3216, they have also used 571-963-3212, 571-482-6393, and 703-844-1212.  That's probably just the tip of the iceberg.  Scammers often use multiple fake phone numbers which they spoof in an attempt to hide their identities.

These crooks will ask you if you have diabetes or back pain.  They will ask you if you're on Medicare.  They will also ask you to confirm your full name and then will ask for your date of birth.  If you keep playing along, they'll also ask for your Social Security Number and all your other insurance information.

DO NOT GIVE THESE CROOKS ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!

IT IS A SCAM!

HANG UP IMMEDIATELY!

We all need to report each and every one of these scam calls to www.donotcall.gov.  They need to know how many people are being harassed by these crooks in order to put a stop to their illegal business.

Called 12:21. It just says "Virginia".  I don't know anyone in Virginia and have given this number to very few people. I never answer numbers I do not recognize or that does not have the courtesy of identifying their business.

Call and call and do not leave a message.  When I try to call the number, I just get "we're sorry, the number cannot be completed as dialed.  Please check the number and try calling again".  Something fishy about a number you can't call back.
