I get this Robocall at least once a week, but it is on a landline that does not have Caller-ID, so I can't recite the supposed calling #, which could easily be spoofed, in any case. Can't do much about it, so I just hang up immediately. Still -- very annoying, and a waste of time for sure. Have seen A couple of call blocking apps discussed, but they seem only to be available for I-Phone ? Hoping a good solution will make its way to ALL phone service !
They keep calling me repeatedly even though I have requested them not to and have advised I am not old enough for Medicare. They get very rude and hang up on you. A few times I played along with a goofy voice and acting like I could not understand and eventually they hang up on me but call back again the next day. They call me daily. I hate these people.
(804) 477‑8007 Robo call recorded 15 July 2015 ("Back brace TV commercial return call you requested..." Medicare device SCAM)
Caller ID: "Richmond VA"
Ha, ha, ha, a scam call insisting "This is a return call you have requested regarding the back brace commercial you saw on TV..."
Of course I never saw such a commercial and I certainly wouldn't have requested a callback had I seen it.
This is the first time I've heard this back brace robo call but it's certainly similar to other robo calls pushing non prescription pain cream, lower your credit card interest rate, etc.
Their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethics, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of this unwanted intrusion by phone:
[female voice] "This is a return call you have requested regarding the back brace commercial you saw on T.V. which is covered by your insurance. Press 1 now to be connected to one of our agents or press 2 if you no longer wish to receive the information you called about."
[message repeats, then disconnect]

Asked if I had Medicare and asked if I had arthritis in my back or knees. I said no and they just hung up.
Robo call about a backbrace "I requested information about." LIES! Press 2 if you don't want the "information you requested" and was sent to an operator that immediately started asking for personal information to sell me stuff. I mentioned that I did not request such information...ever! She proceeded to curse at me for wasting her time and, seriously, she used every curse word I knew and maybe a few I didn't...then hung up on me. I tried to call back but it says the number is disconnected.
