AI Analysis

Limited information: Multiple reports indicate telemarketing and harassment. Callers often misrepresent themselves (e.g., as attorneys, Discovery Insure/Life, or Global Vehicle Testing). Some users report daily calls, refusal to remove numbers from databases, and rude behavior. One comment mentions a potential data leak from Discovery insurer.

Likely purpose: Aggressive telemarketing and potential identity fraud through impersonation of legitimate entities.

Seriously, how many times in one day do you have to tell them to stop calling you and remove you from their database as you did not give any marketing permission? No means NO!

This people call and impersonates a consultant from discovery insure. According to me this is fraudulent and false intentions by doing this. After receiving all detail, they dissapeare. When you call this number back an answering machine will answer. You just never reach a consultant as promised. This is not good practice at all
