If YOU did not iniate the Call, meaning you didnt answer a survery, or fill out a I want more info style card or phone call somewhere, then NEVER EVER EVER give out ANY info. Like DOB or mothers maiden name. Ask that they MAIL you ALL the information that you are speaking about, so that you and your husband have time to go over it IN PERSON with your MD to see if this product is right for you. IF she refuses to mail the information out WITHOUT having ANY numbers from you, then its a scam!
Its ingenious how quickly they can draw people in, and get trust going since talking so compassionatly about being sick, and needing help, and how our company GIVES away at little or no cost to you... DONT DO IT! Once that number is out there, its too dang hard to get it back. I caught my hubby once (a jail house Captain) talking on the phone one day to a lady about our credit card (zero balance!) he pulled out his credit card and started to read the number. I almost fainted! I grabbed the phone away from him, and asked this woman WHO ARE YOU?! she was from some company that sells insurance to protect you should your card be stolen. I said NO THANKS and hung up. My hubby was mad till I asked a few basic questions. Did you call her? or did she call you? If she truly represents YOUR CC company she will already have the number, and not need the 3 digit code on the back. She will already have your SS and DOB. He felt so dumb afterwards at how easily she was able to convince him she worked for HIS CC company. We called his CC company and verified that this person DOESNT work for them. We turned in the number from the caller ID. Scary! you did the right thing. HANG UP!

They called back today asking if I was ready to proceed. I asked them to fax me their forms and I would send them back, they said they could not fax things, I said 'I believe you are not a legitimate business and demand you stop calling me" they were very snotty and hung up.
My gut was right.

That is the best thing to do Earl "Listen to your Gut" it will never
lead you astray. Glad that you did what you did and didn't get hooked into this scam. I would like to know where they get some of the information about us. How did they know if you needed a power chair or any other device to help you. We all try to be so careful about giving out to much information but they still have ways to get things that you would never think anyone new. Jappy ![]() |

call the better business bureau...they will tell you if they are legit, their rating as a business if they are listed with the BBB.
I wouldn't give out the information...I think you should listen to yourself...its telling you Earl don't do it....Earl, no don't do it. ![]() |
