Am I too paranoid?

[sagesnow]

This happened a few moments after I had hung up from a phone call with a long time friend and fellow DU'er. For a brief second my phone screen had her name and number, then it posted this Russian number: [phone]. Curious as to why I was being called from Russia, I answered it and got spam from Medic Alert, if I understood the robot right. Anyone else having this anomalous problem? Does a Russian company own Medic Alert?
I took a screen shot of my phone if anyone wants proof this happened.
Are we being followed and intimidated?

1. P.S.: I'm too cheap and

slightly freaked out to call the number back.

5. Never call unknown numbers back.

It shows the scammers that they have a live one and could redirect to a 900# phone site where you will be charged for the call.

Learn to ignore the scammers.

2. Every move you make, every breath you take, THEY are watching you, me and the others!

3. Could have been area code 712

Iowa instead of Russia.

4. Thank you.

I will go with that. Will breathe easier thinking it was a computer mix up and am checking my paranoia at the door.

6. Seems to be a commonly used scam.

Piggybacking off of large and established institutions. I can't imagine there being a connection between that and the call you were on. Unfortunately, there are many good reasons to be paranoid these days. I'm not dismissing that.

8. Are we paranoid enough?

Please keep your webcams covered and get a mic-locks for your audio ports.

9. I do have a bandaid over my webcam eye.

Didn't know about the mic-locks. Will look into that. Thanks.
