@akindheart Do you want the information I have to get in contact with them?

Unfortunately my 90 year old mother took one of these calls and said yes, not even understanding what she was saying yes to. They come every month and every month I write 'refused' on the package and send them back.

@robingoodfellow Okay, but these are free, yes? Couldn't you just give them to your friends? Why refuse them?

@LordShadowfire there is a medicare scam that targets senior citizens concerning these free tests. They're free to you but they're charged to your medicare which can possibly affect your medicare coverage down the road.
I've got so many phone scammers targeting my mother. I've got a blocker set up and have something like 500 numbers blocked already but they still keep coming. This is really sick stuff, trying to rip off the elderly.

@robingoodfellow Ohhhhhhhh.
Great. Now I want to punch someone in the face, but I have no idea who. Think I'll go for a nice brisk walk.

And did you get a call from Google asking you if you received a Booster and a COVID test?
Was she an Illegal Immigrant calling you?

@FreestyleArt I know that the person had a hell of a time speaking English.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
@ColoradoKid yep...I got the same shit call from them months ago.
robingoodfellow · M
@FreestyleArt they're not illegal immigrants, they're calling from outside the country.

Haven't gotten any of those. However, remember that Asian woman leaving messages in what sounded like Mandarin? I wonder if she was warming about covid, but no one could understand her. 🤔

@ColoradoKid I let it go and see if they leave voicemail
ColoradoKid · 46-50, M
@RedBaron The horrible thing was it was my doctor's office number and I was expecting a call from them. The whole thing was like winning the lottery but in the opposite way. They couldn't have known that my doctor office was going to be calling. They may have put in a doc office number and called...but how would they know it was my office? It was a great chance that everything aligned. I will continue to believe that this once. How ever if it happens again I will know that they have more information on everyone than the people know.

@ColoradoKid I get more emails than calls about the tests.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
You got free tests?
I have to have a test every 48 hours for work and have to pay $30 for a pack of two.

@ColoradoKid I hate it when people clone numbers.
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
@LordShadowfire @ColoradoKid It really is ridiculous. The legitimate charities must really be struggling.

I haven’t got one yet but overheard someone on one of those calls
Lilred2289 · 31-35, F
I’m still thinking about that car warranty though 🤣
ColoradoKid · 46-50, M
@Lilred2289 They wouldn't let me put my 1968 Ford ranger on it. The truck only has 80 k on it. Well below the 150 k I have seen. Then he says that they didn't make the ranger back then.
Ranger and explorer were the detail packages name's back then and not the name of the truck like it is now.
The ranger is a small truck and the explorer is a SUV.. He said that he knew more than I do about vehicles. I don't know everything but I research everything I own so I can get the right parts and such.

I don't answer unfamiliar numbers, problem solved

So what I'm hearing is you want more COVID-19 tests sent to your home.
