So, it's that time of year again...just got a scam Medical Alert system phone call... [View all]

The push is to get you set up for a system someone else has purchased for you.

But the person gifting it couldn't wouldn't be identified.

This is an old scam revisited, the alert system isn't free.

The purpose of the scam is to get you signed up for the monthly service fees.
