The scam wants you to accept a package for an emergency medical alert system, that has been paid for already. What the scammers are trying to get is your address.  DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION to them. We believe that this is a C.O.D. Scam.

The call will go like this:

“Hi, uh, this is John from the shipping department of Emergency Medical Alert, I was calling to uh schedule a delivery of your medical alert system, it’s uh the “fallen, and I can’t get up” type of system you’ve seen on TV. Looks like the system’s been uh recommended by thousands of hospitals and medical professionals, uh, let’s see, says here that the system’s already been paid for. Looks like you’re getting the system because uh either yourself, a friend, a family member or maybe even someone you know has experienced a fall in the past so uh again it’s already been paid for so there’s no cost to your whatsoever. Also says here that the shipping has already been paid for so to uh schedule the delivery of your Emergency Medical Alert System press 1 uh again to uh have your system shipped out to you press 1 now…press 5 to decline the shipment of your system….

DON’T Press anything and just hang up. This is your best course of action. Again do not give any information out over the phone. If someone is pressuring you to give this information just hang up. No valid company is going to ask for your information over the phone, If you believe that this a valid call and it’s and institution that you deal with go to your local branch to make sure that it is valid.

The best way to protect your self is to make sure that the supposed victim is actually away or if he is still at home. Confirm with other family members or try to make contact with the person that the scammer is reporting to be. Simple steps like this will help save you in the long run.
