I used that stupid app too! Is that how they got my number? This sucks. They call all day long while I'm at work. When I call back after I'm off, they barely speak english, and have a horrible connection.

Ever since my 87 year old mother had gone through cardiac rehab several weeks ago I?ve been barraged with calls from numerous states purportedly offering a free medical alert system. I receive a minimum of 4 or 5 calls each day from the following numbers:
850-347-4538 (FL)
414-232-5011 (WI)
847-892-6800 (IL)
920-320-1960 (WI)
954-271-3140 (FL)
520-265-8931 (AZ)
605-496-0717 (SD)
864-412-3327 (SC)
908-469-0995 (NJ)
949-484-8683 (FL)
786-345-1584 (FL)
I have no doubt that this is a medical alert phishing scam
(see http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalf ... -alert/2397189/) and originates from a single source. I don?t know how these people obtained my unlisted cell phone number since the hospital?s disclosure of personal or medical information is a violation of HIPAA confidentiality, subjecting the violator to fines and penalties. Most medical care providers avoid this like the plaque.
My advice is to not answer the call and do not respond to these people in any way. Once they know your phone number is legitimate they will continue calling and may pass your number on to other scammers. It?s a PIA but I would also file a complaint with the FCC and Federal Trade Commission. The more complaints they receive the more likely they will launch an investigation.

I have been receiving many calls from the same numbers on your list all this week. I stayed at a Residence Inn last weekend and was called several hotel chains using my cell number and then a few days later, the calls started. 10-12 calls per day for the last 4 days. Very annoying and very interesting that every number I have received a call from is on this list?..

Thanks for the work u put into this list. I started my own but got overwhelmed. This kind of harassment should be a felony in every state.

These numbers are all related somehow. Several other people online report a similar list. Very annoying because they keep calling.

Just curious. Has anyone recently used an app called HotelTonight? I just used this app and suddenly been recieving these calls from the same (908) 469-0995
Elizabeth, NJ and various other numbers! Non stop ... Just trying to make sense of where they might have gotten my number from...
Interesting post - I had just booked a hotel with my phone number too, right before the calls started coming. Though I called the hotel directly to book it.
If any of you have some journalist friends email them the list. This is totally beyond reason.

I, too, have been a victim of these annoying, harassing calls and I'm on the Do Not Call List. Imagine if I weren't.
Four or five times a night. I think I've blocked the annoying phone number. Please help. I need your help now more than ever.

Have received multiple calls a day from different numbers with the same robo message re "Congratulations -- you have won a medic alert..."
| honix 2013-11-01 23:17:42 Telemarketer |
Pre-recorded message with a raspy voice saying "Congratulations!" and then going on to say that the person called has been selected to receive some sort of medical device for free. If you hit 1, you will get a live person who barely speaks English. Over the last 3 days I have received 15 calls from these a***oles using 13 different phone numbers and 13 different caller IDs. I think we should have the NSA use some of their top secret technology to find out who these people are and drop a drone in to wipe them out.

I've been getting calls from this number daily for some time now. Can anyone stop these calls? I do not answer and they do not leave a message. I've received 7 calls today from different numbers and one number called twice! I am also on the do not call list.
| JC 2013-10-17 21:20:55 Telemarketer |
called my cell.
| Doug 2013-10-16 19:32:00 Unknown |
Just now called me, however, since I didn't recognize the number, I waited for the answering machine to kick in...they hung up before it activated.
Saw a couple of things on the forums regarding these callers and am using them myself to help ease the nuisance factor, however, won't totally stop the calls. Hopefully these procedures may work for all of you.
For the land line, see if you can run a block on your phone line for numbers you place into it. These numbers would of course be the "scammers" whom you do not want hear.
On my phone system I have two options one for "ANONONYMOUS CALLERS": (no phone number OR name shown) scammers, blocked, private, I block them by using *77 on my phone - it will give you directions on how to continue. If it is someone who is legitimate they will leave a message on my voice mail.
The other option is phone numbers that show on your CALL SCREEN and you recognize them as scammers (or look up the numbers on forums like this one to see if they are): to block, I dial *60 and follow cues.
When I have a new number that rings through then I drop one of the earlier numbers and replace it with the newest, like this one ( system only accepts approx. 10 at a time).
Now the cell phone: place the nuisance phone number into your Save Contact directory>new contact>work>scroll to phone number and save. Now go to the phone number>options>contact details>default ringer>change>and choose "NO RINGER". Now when they call, I'm not disturbed because I don't hear it.
Granted, it may not stop these calls being made, however I'm no longer interrupted and frustrated by them. Also I noticed the old numbers I exchanged with the new numbers are rarely in my future calls, they seem to have dropped off the radar.
Hope this helps take away some of the frustrations.

Do not pick up!
| Steve 2013-10-11 17:03:53 Unknown |
Pre-recorded BS, I hung up as soon as I heard "Congratulations"
| Maria 2013-10-11 15:45:19 Unknown |
Received call and answered several beeps then dropped.
