Victim Location 14425
Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
Sometime in September 2018 started to receive these messages on the phone from eight different numbers. Messages would say "you maybe eligible for medical knee or back braces" "for those suffering from chronic pain". Have a phone that allows me to block calls; after blocking would get same call from an alternate number. Message also offers "remove from call list by pressing 2" but that does not work. After pressing 2 on multiple numbers still get calls from. Have caller ID and have returned calls to all eight. Only one had a person pick up saying they have had multiple complaints but the calls did not come from them. (Caller ID says RIT-Rochester Institute of Technology). Repeated dialed number to person that picked up to confirm number was accurate 585-475-5638, he said that it was, and number really is from RIT. Other seven numbers would be busy, say disconnected, number incorrect, cannot be dialed, network difficulties or be put on hold only to be disconnected. None of the other seven said who they were either in message left on my phone or their own messages. Aggravating, sincerely hope there phone scamming is brought to light.
