Do not answer this number. They are trying to take money from you in intent to sell you health insurance. They say they are going to send you a quote and when they do they get some uneducated person on the phone to try to take your credit card. do not answer

I keep getting these calls and text messages from these people regarding insurance. They keep telling me that they can get me such great rates.They ask all these questions about my age, my dependents, etc. I try and tell them that we have all the insurance we need and are happy with our current plans. I am tired of getting all these calls.

it’s about health insurance or mortgage rates and loans over the phone and so this needs to be investigated because it’s a scam call and it’s flagged in yellow and so it’s a scam and fraud that their doing and it’s a robo and it’s a scam call and so they have been harassing us ever since October 2018 and so I don’t know where they are getting my phone number without my permissions and I didn’t give them any permissions to call me about that and I want my phone number removed off of their calling list because I don’t know this telemarketing company and I never did any business with them and so this needs to be investigated because I want them to leave us alone about that because were not interested in buying that over the phone and it’s prerecorded or a live sales call and so this needs to be investigated because I’m so tired of being bothered and harassed about that and they never called in the afternoons and I always hang up when they call and so they never called in the afternoons because they will call everyday around 10:00am in the mornings all the time and so I want my phone number removed off of their calling list because I’m not interested in buying that over the phone and don’t call us no more about that.

First a woman called while I was working on updating 2 computers and only had access to a phone that does have problems. She immediately asked "Can you hear me? There is static on the line." Since I was busy, before I remembered the scam, I answered "Yes". She immediately hung up. Within less than a minute, a man called back using the same phone number above and started a spiel to sell me insurance. I hung up on him right away. Then I blocked their phone number. Still kicking myself for not remembering this SCAM.

I received a call from the number listed. I answered and the lady said “ hi this is ( I don’t remember the first name given) ”. Then she said “ can you hear me ok”. Then I heard a click, as if she hung up. I said “ hello” and then the voice went into a spill about “everyone needs insurance” . I hung up but realized they were just trying to get me to say “ yes” to their question. This sounded very much like a real person and not a robocall. I was actually waiting for a call from the hospital and thought it was them and i didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late. Not sure how this will be used since it just happened today, but I will be on the lookout!

This number called me twice before I answered. The company told me that car insurance laws were changing in 2017, and then they asked me if I had car insurance and who it was through. When I told them I was not sure of the company, the man hung up the phone. I tried calling back, and the number said all circuits are busy.

I received 3 calls in a row from 401-262-5682 phone number from West Warwick, RI. I am in California. I picked up the 3rd call. Justin introduced himself as being from an insurance company. He started asking questions. I tried to clarify who he was, and why was he calling. He hung up. I’m reporting because I have been reading about scam callers trying to get a recorded affirmative answer "yes" to use as authorization. I believe this was one of those calls.

They asked if we wanted to speak to a specialist regarding an insurance quote, when my husband said "yes" they immediately hung up. When we called the number back it was not an insurance company.
