I was visiting at my 79 year old grandma today when she received a phone call. My Ma didn’t recognize the phone number so decided to listen in on the call. It was a telemarketer telling grandma she was to receive a Free Medical Alert System.  Grandma was excited to hear the word FREE but Ma was super suspicious. The caller went on to tell grandma that all she had to do is verify her address and provide payment information to cover shipping costs. Ma immediately grabbed the phone from grandma and hung up. She then proceeded to check out the Caller ID number. (920) 593-9157. Ma searched online and found there is a scam going around all over the country targeting senior citizens for this Medical Alert system.  Make sure your Human grandmas and grandpas are safe and get them on the National NO CALL LIST.
