An unwanted call from this Alta CA VOIP number arrived today. When the answering machine picked up, there was dead silence. This is the calling card of robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) who shamelessly troll the phone lines, desperately seeking gullible schmucks to victimize.

The perpetrator has been flagged as a Medic Alert scammer who preys on the elderly. The website www.whitepages.com describes this number as "scam or fraud." Case closed!
