This is more of a rant and an alert rather than a request for help.

I have a family member who will be eligible for Medicare soon and we have been SWAMPED with calls wanting us to sign up for Medicare supplement insurance.
These are SOME of the numbers the calls have come from, over a period of just a few weeks.

Now, SOME of these calls may be legitimate, from insurance brokers and other 3rd parties trying to sell potentially lucrative Medicare supplement (Medigap) policies.
But even IF legitimate they were unrelenting (as can be seen!)
While OTHERS might possibly be identity theft situations if they involve some bad guys trying to harvest social security numbers etc.
-----
Most of these calls were blocked by my provider's use of the very good TrueCNAM service, but not all, which is not a surprise as these services have a tough job.
As far as NoMoRobo, I manually look up those numbers on NoMoRobo and MANY of these numbers were NOT flagged by them at the time. So while NoMoRobo is good, it is not perfect.

Again, I'm just bitching here because I just was interrupted by another fake call:
"This is the Department of Social Security, we have just suspended your number...." :(
