Other calls may say they are calling from a shipping department to confirm a free order or to send upgraded equipment. And still others promise that you&#8217;re entitled to $3,000 in money-saving coupons claiming that the free-device offer is being made on behalf of AARP. These scammers are trying to mislead and defraud consumers to capture address, credit card and bank information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6ad4e947 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(239,243,255) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<section class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e18ac6fe45792095fde06d2257e40fa\">How YouMail can help stop medical alert scams today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b3ff8204 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6b473e5689fea2a382f9f6dc84136c67 wp-block-paragraph\">YouMail is the leading solution for getting rid of robocalls and we are proud that our customers are protected from scammers, spammers, and other unwanted callers.

Pressing any other number in the hopes of opting out will only confirm that you have a working phone number that&#8217;s ripe for future telemarketing and robocalls calls. What if you get conned into taking the call? Don&#8217;t provide any personal information, including your name, address, birthdate or social security number.
