I received multiple fraudulent cold calls on my PBX line from a Pakistani call center who spoofed a similar number in violation of the Truth in Caller ID Act. The agents claimed to work for “American Senior Benefits” to try and sell me a final expense plan from their American broker, which in this case was identified as the Gerber Life Insurance Agency, which is primarily headquartered at 445 State Street, Fremont, MI 49412-1056.

- Sending fraudulent cold calls and harassing mailers whilst refusing to place individuals off their mailing list.
- Having agents hang up on their customers when they rightfully asked for information during policy reviews.
- Sending fraudulent mailers with signature requests on enclosed documents.
