Minutes ago I got a call from VA Healthcare System , on the caller ID.
I had called the Bath NY VA this AM but the person I needed wasn't there------the weekend crew could not help me.
The Bath VAMC # is 607-664 4000- but all I could see was 607-664 - 5116, on the caller ID ,so I thought it was a VA extension number.
It was a Robo call telling me they had overbilled me and to get my refund ,that would be on my Electric Bill, I had to press #1.
I hung up -these robo calls are a PITA!
I haven't been a VA patient for years due to CHAMPVA. And what the heck does my electric bill have to do with VA?
I googled the number and it shows someone who lives in Bath.Somehow these scamm ers can steal a phone number and scam with it.
If I get 607 calls I think it is someone from my church- but often it is just a scam.
The NY State Police have had someone scamming them as well. Monday I will call them about it.We have enough problems - all of the schools in Steuben COunty are closing on Wednesday for 2 weeks , and that is followed by the Easter break, parents are always prepared for. It is probably a good idea ,due to Corona, but parents who work only have a few days to get someone to watch their school kids all day.... for 2 weeks.

A lot of these calls are from other countries. The phones they use go through the internet and the spoof the phone number. If you think of the phrase garbage in, garbage out, this is what they do to g

I'm starting to think the scammers are getting more sophisticated all the time! Earlier today, I was researching NOVA attorneys online (collecting names & contact info), and even called a cou
