B.S. call SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(212) 777-3456 Live telemarketing (and suspect phishing) call recorded 8 March 2018 (India Jay from "The Pain Center", 'records indicate you are affected by back, shoulder or knee pain...') SCAM!
Caller ID: "New York NY"

A misleading live screening, sales (and probably phishing) call suggesting that I may be eligible for a back brace to relieve pain if I have Medicare. These foreigners are trying to milk the system, and because they ask for the Medicare/Social Security number, I suspect it is also a phishing for identity theft scam, too.

I couldn't resist making a pun when she inquired if I had back or knee pain and I asked "my right knee or left knee?" and he guessed "both?" to which I replied 'Actually, I think it's my kid-knee.' Alas, he didn't understand. (see transcript, below)

Their "shotgun" approach to making mass phone calls, and their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethic, doesn't it?

Here is a transcript of their unwanted, intrusive, insulting screening and sales call:
