Robo call a few minutes ago

[John cycling]

They've been calling me for months, over and over, always asking the same question. I've been trying to get a person,
but if I don't answer the question right away they hang up. So here's how it went a few minutes ag. Fun, fun, fun, fun.

Me: Hello?
Phone call: Is this John?

Me: Hi!
Pc: I'm calling about a great deal blah blah blah... Medicare... blah blah blah blah...
If you qualify blah blah blah... can you say that you have Medicare part A and part B?
Me: Yes, I can say that!

Pc: So you have Medicare part A and part B?
Me: Oh yes, I can say that. Yes!
Pc: Okay let me get you to a representative.
Pc: Hello we have a great deal blah blah... Medicare... can you verify you have Medicare part A and part B?
Me: Yes I can say that!

Pc: So you have Medicare part A and part B then?
Me: Yes I can say that!

Pc: Okay can you read the information on the card to me?
Me: Well I'd have to find the card first.
Pc: That's okay, I can wait?
Me: Are you sure?
Pc: Yes I can wait while you find it.

Me: Okay, then but it might take me awhile.
Pc: Okay I can wait for awhile.
Me: That's good then.

Pc: May I ask what age you are?
Me: I'm in my 70's.
Pc: Okay, what age exactly?
Me: I'm not sure exactly but somewhere in my 70's.

Pc: When you find your card that will help quite a bit.
Me. That's good, because I'm not sure exactly where it is.
Pc: That's okay, I can wait while you find it.

Me: Well that's good. May I ask where you live?
Pc: Los Angeles. Are you looking for your card?

Me: Oh yes I'm sure it's here somewhere. What part of Los Angeles?

Pc: You dirty rotten m..... f...... You're just wasting my time ... (oh the irony) ... You're just a dirty rotten blah blah blah....
Me: Can you spell that for me please?

Pc: You dirty rotten blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah......
Me: I want to make sure I get that right. Can you spell that for me please?

Pc: Blah blah blah dirty rotten.... blah blah blah.... blah blah........ hangs up.

Me.

These same type people pushing MA would call my dad on his cellphone. I finally had to yell at them to get off the planet but they kept calling for a while.

We never answer questions from strangers on the phone with a "yes".

 

[ElCastor]

Get one or two a day. I have Caller ID turned on. If I don’t recognize the caller I disconnect or just let it ring. Tried answering once. A nephew I don’t have was in jail and wanted me to get him out. Told him to call someone else - dial tone. (-8

 

[Jules]

John, all the time you spent with the caller was time he didn’t have to try to scam some more gullible senior. Maybe you’re off their calling list now.

 

[StillLearning]

How about the surveys they want from you? I was only out of hospital a month ago for 4 hours and I get a call from hospital. They knew my name and that I was at hospital. Then for security reasons they need my dob and medical record number. I said no this is a scam. She got upset with me and after I hung up she called back on a local number. Probably legitimate but I wasn’t certain. They are so aggressive.

 

[CallMeKate]

Oh, John.... I sincerely hope I never have to call you for anything!

 

[Pepper]

I just hang up. Sometimes, before I do, I tell them to go F themselves.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

If I get a call from an unknown number, I let it go to voicemail. If it's a legit call, they will leave a voicemail, if not it was robo call.
