Yeah linbaits they have call centers all over but all the numbers get pipelined back into an un-named Canadian call center to a small group of all female scammers pretending to be customer service. Their numbers are 888-808-6528, 877-230-4476, 877-682-1081, 877-682-1403, 855-808-9397. I saw in another post that the 1081 number is down but this is not true. All numbers are working and have been up and running for over a decade even when the over seas numbers change. This core of 5 numbers has always remained unchanged over the years.
As stated earlier, half have weird ambiguous names & the other half seem somewhat normal. Once & a while 1 girl will leave and a new one will come on but most of them have been consistently working there scince I discovered them almost a decade ago. Their names are as follows:
Ash (she said it’s not short for ashley…very odd)
Jack (she said it’s not short for anything either…weird)
Isabelle (left recently…hopefully wised up & found a legit job)
Manisha (can’t tell if she is indian or asian but definitely not like the others)
Malachi (she told me it’s a unisex name…lol it isn’t)
Donna senior customer service rep scam artist (sounds like she’s in her 50’s)
Ann (she is just Ash pretending to be someone different)
Chris (says they are an older woman close to retirement but sound like a younger male tranny)
Casey (just Jack pretending to be another person)
Sarah (the new chick)
Pam (the big boss lady…sometimes answers the phones with the others on busy days)
If you ask them for their last name they will say they are not allowed to give that out but will give you some phony 5 character employee ID number. When you ask them If you can be transferred to one of them using their employee ID they say “no”. When you ask them what good the number is then they say it’s only for your personal records lol! They seem to have an answer for everything whether it makes sense or not.
Sometimes you will get an error message that says there was a technical issue transferring your call or something like that in English & then in French but if you stay on the line for about 10-15 seconds it will ring & transfer you like normal. Or you can just call back & it will work just fine.
Sometimes in a great blue moon they answer as “American Medical Services” and start calling themselves “Senior advocates” instead of “customer service” reps. This only seems to happen when I say something to completely fluster them.
Their prerecorded messages still say they are short staffed due to covid even though nobody seems to really be worried about that anymore. They also pretend to take American holidays off like the 4th of July to throw you off. Their message when you call them back after operating hours says they are open from 9-5 PM eastern standard time but they started staying open until 6 PM. Maybe they aren’t making as much money as they used to so they need to squeeze that extra hour in. Or maybe they are just stupid Canadians that are too lazy to google the U.S. time zones.
They claim they are in Draper Utah & give you some phoney P.O. box (like most of these scams do) which leads to a burnt out strip mall. They say they are located in that building but when you look them up on Google maps & ask them the describe some of the surrounding businesses they hang up on you because they know they were caught in a lie. That’s pretty much the pattern for these guys when you point out their obvious falsehoods. Sometimes Pam will come on the line & start yelling at you but she knows better than to to even talk to me anymore let alone in a rude fashion.
I’ve become very much intrigued by this small group of weirdos over the years because it seems that they are unable to block numbers or even identify you when you call in over & over with the same number & will almost always pick up. When you really start hammering them they will hang up immediately though. If you wait a liitle while however, they will answer again. Even from the same number.
Book mark these numbers if you like because it seems that they will be around forever or until they get caught. That could take a while though scince they are pretty low key.
As an afterthought, I’m wondering if they are pulling off some DME scam selling bogus or non existent medical equipment in exchange for your insurance information. That would make them some pretty unique $100 voucher scammers. Not only do you have credit card fraud, but you also have possible Identity theft & money laundering to boot which can get you a lot of time in prison. Even for a first offender. That’s why they go so far out of their way to keep their identities & location unknown. I would love to see the day they get busted though. Even though I briefly may feel a little sad because I wouldn’t be able to torment them anymore, I would get over it eventually scince they’ve had ample warning over the years to stop. Have fun with them guys. I know I will!
