OGDENSBURG -- Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center is warming St. Lawrence County residents of fraudulent telemarketing calls targeting senior citizens.
The alleged scammers falsely claim to be offering Philips Lifeline products and services. These calls are usually recorded messages commonly referred to as “robo-calling.”
According a released issued by Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Philips Lifeline does not engage in telemarketing of this kind, nor do its partners or distributors.
The unauthorized telemarketers making these claims do not represent Philips Lifeline or Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Lifeline.
Philips Lifeline is currently investigating this issue, and contacting consumer protection organizations to report this deceptive activity.
Anyone contacted by telemarketers claiming to represent Philips Lifeline, should not provide credit card or bank information, and request contact information from the calling party.
Consumers or Philips Lifeline subscribers who have received these calls may contact Philips Lifeline with any questions, at 1-800-635-6156 or Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Lifeline at 393-1559.
