I have been receiving phone calls from a gentleman with a heavy Indian accent saying that he is calling in regard to medical compensation. I have asked to be taken off the call list a number of times, but still receive communications. Calls have come from a variety of phone numbers, and below is the list of phone numbers I have detected.

I have been getting the same calls for sometime now, a few a month. I haven't had the surgery they are talking about or taken the meds so they don't continue the conversation. These people are running some kind of scam. I suspect that if I said yes I had the surgery then at some point they would ask for my ss number, cc number or for me to send them money so I can get some kind of bigger pay out from a class action settlement or something along those lines. Then I would find unauthorized charges on my account or money taken out in my name etc. Reporting them to the Do Not Call Registry won't work because they are not a legitimate business. Any kind of legitimate above board business would not repeatedly call people who have already said they don't qualify and would have to comply with the government regulations on who they can call. They are already breaking the law so the DNC registry is irrelevant to them.

I have received the for the past few months on my cell phone at all hours of the day! I block the number and a new number pops up the next time around. I went along with the call once to explain I've NEVER had surgery of any kind and asked to be put on the "do not call list". They keep calling! It's annoying! I've just become excessively rude now when they call. As soon as I hear his heavily accented Indian and he identifies himself, I start with the WTF's and they quickly hang up. I know it's rude, but I'm tired of the pesky calls!

I have been getting these calls for almost a year now. US numbers from several northern states, all male (sounds like the same person) Indian speaking. I have told them each time do not call, I have not had the Mesh Implant or any other surgery and I will not discuss my medical issues with him or anyone else, take me off of your list. A few days later I get another call.

I too get the calls periodically. It started about 2 or 3 years ago and happens every few months for several days to several weeks, sometimes several times a day. Today, from Florida, yesterday from North Carolina, the day before Texas. It starts for a while so I get hopeful they got the point then, cringe, it starts again. I am so sick of it, when I tell them I have told them I have asked numerous times to be removed from their list they just hang up and call again the next day from a different number. I even had one have the audacity to call me back and demand to know why I did not want the money I deserve. I told him I deserve nothing since I had no harm done to me from any procedures. I tried reporting them but since they are most likely based oversees not much that can be done. Its annoying. You think though that if they got someone smart enough to call their bluff they would give up and move on. Unfortunately, cant be that lucky.

These people have been calling me claiming to be looking for a lady H____ G____ who had pelvic surgery always wanting her information. Than they want my information about my surgeries. In the last couple of months they have become very abusive, threatening using curse words. They transfer me back and forth between others they call managers who tell me they know where I live and that if I don't give them the information they will come to my house. Tell me they will f*** up me and my family. Of course I have had a few choice words for these Mother---- (compound word in Detroit). This Disabled Vet can't wait for the b*st*rds to show up on my door step. They will die quickly of lead poisoning, think it is in the local water :). Bring it on my little foreign buddies...

me too - at what point is this class action for harassment?

The questions that are asked all seem to be about medications or procedures that class action law suites have been publicly announced on those infomercials. Could this be some law firm that is calling random numbers fishing for "clients"? Those law firms are the only ones that win in those cases, and they win big. They get 33% of the settlements, and if they get thousands, or tens of thousands of "patients" who have been "harmed"- they go after the big pharmaceutical companies for hundreds of millions. The actual "patients" get a few dollars -not much. But if they can find 10, 000 patients harmed by whatever drug or procedure - they can get 33% of the whole pot - that's a LOT of money!

there must be a way to figure out who is doing this - and to then file a class action law suit for harassment? I don't have any legal expertise- but seems like we could at least get them to stop if a suit is threatened? Who fights for protection against large scale consumer harassment? The federal DO NOT CALL list doesn't work - but how did that get put into place- someone had to have filed a suit at some point to stimulate the development of that/ Even if it doesn't work - someone was effective in trying to create protection for us. We need to know what organization that was and see if they will get involved!

Got, or should I say answered, my first call this morning from the Indian gentleman so many of you have spoken with. I did not engage with him for very long before hanging up but it was the same person you have spoken with about medical information had medical compensation for me and I needed to let him talk I hung up the phone.

We have been receiving calls from these folks for about 8 years now looking for a MaryAnne Mobly. I have constantly told them that they are violating Federal Law and the Federal Do Not Call Act. Yet the calls continue. We used to get phone numbers that came up on our caller I.D. but now, no number appears. Today when they called, my husband asked for the caller's name and the company name again, and the idiot on the other end hung up. This person (Mobly) has been giving out our home phone number constantly. Today we are going to our local police department to see about filing a harassment complaint against her, as our number is un-published and we do not give it out on a whim.

I have been getting these phone calls for the last few days. It is obviously a scam these pieces of trash have come up with to try to make a living the best advice I can give is to ask question after question. Flip the script. Tell the Indian guy on the phone he just won 100, 000 but you need him to send you 10, 000 before you can release it to him. It may take a little wasted time on your effort but it has worked for me. I even call them back when I have a few minutes and give the best German accent or Sean Connery accent I can as I am playing their game. Tell them you are Mel Gibson or Julia Roberts when they ask your name. They have gotten so fed up with me that no only did they quit calling me they quit answering my phone calls. It's not a solution because when one of these ### bag scam artists quits two or three more pop up. However it will give you a little laughter and enjoyment at their expense. #becreative

All of these complaints but no solution? What is happening to this country? There are no rights, and no safeguards against harassing phone calls!
Simply because the U.S. has sold her self cheaply to gain cheap labor and what goes along with this type of abuse is a downward spiral for chance and the result is the birth of the greedy self serving industry riddled with third world money hungry cheap labour. Or have you heard; greed gives birth to the most greediest.
Goodbye to 'let freedom ring.'
Well the bell has rung and we the unsuspecting gets stung. Who going to stand for the rights of the middle man?

And they are still calling! 2016...Medical Compensation Department. For an attorney lawsuit involving blood thinners. Advised him any health info on me he had was illegally obtained because I did not sign a release. Advised him US law regarding HIPAA applies to any health information-not the actual physical records from dr. Stupid man. Asked me to listen. I told him I would listen when he gave me the name of the attorney and phone to call. Next stop: Texas Attorney General site to file a formal complaint. Don't mess with HIPAA or Texas.

Same calls to me. Strong indian/pakistani accent. They says they are from IRS and that I didn't pay all my due and my house is going to be taken away. Ah, ah! Today they call telling that because I had breast cancer I am entitle to a compensation. How in the hell they know I had breast cancer? Shouldn't this be a privacy breach ? I was tempted to play the game to understand where they were going to go. Probably offering to make me part of a class action if I paid something but I got annoyed and told them to stop calling that I was not an idiot.
Anyway these are the numbers they called from:

[protected] medical compensation
[protected] IRS

Someone just called me from [protected] with "medical compensation plan" for "taking defective drugs". I said that I never took any drugs or been to a doctor; I've been polite throughout the entire conversation. He apologized and said he will remove my number from the list. We'll see, I guess.

I have gotten a call from these people just now. I told the first person he is scamming people and need to be ashamed of himself. They state they are in Atlanta GA but called with a Florida number. Stating they are part of a large class action lawsuit. I asked them for their address so I know where to send the police and I was told I don't understand and that I am offensive. Too laughable to be told by thieves that I am the offensive one. Anyway be careful of the number [protected].

Also when I tried to call the number back it was not a working number saying my call could not be completed as dialed. I hope that someone reads this before they fall victim to these shameless cowards.
