Bottom Line on American Benefits Calls
The calls you’re receiving from so-called “American Benefits” are in fact telemarketing calls.
You’re offered information about final expense life insurance products approved in your state. Sometimes the calls are about other products like term insurance, burial plots, or medical alert equipment.
The representative informs you that if you’re interested in learning more about their services, a local agent will call you back with more information.
Are these calls actually coming from a real-life company named American Benefits?
The answer is no.
The calls you’re receiving are not coming from American Benefits, although there is a tech company with the same name as well as an actual insurance company called American Senior Benefits.
The calls are from a telemarketing group that is identifying itself as American Benefits.
Although it looks like the calls are coming from a local number, these calling centers are often located internationally, in the Philippines, India, and Pakistan.
What can I do to prevent receiving the American Benefits calls?
There are several things you can do to prevent receiving the false American Benefits calls:
- Register your home or mobile phone number for free with the National Do Not Call Registry. The registration never expires and you can register up to three numbers.
- Sign up for a robocall blocking service with your carrier. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon offer free services that you can sign up for to help reduce unwanted calls.
- Download a robocall blocker app such as Hiya, Nomorobo, or Truecaller to filter the incoming calls.
- Download the AT&T Call Protect app. It will help you detect and block potentially fraudulent calls.
What should I do if I receive an American Benefits telemarketing call?
If you receive a telemarketing call from American Benefits, you may try the following:
- Don’t engage in conversation and make it clear from the start that you don’t wish to be contacted in the future.
- If you have registered with the National Do Not Call Registry, but you continue receiving telemarketing calls after 30 days from the registration date, you can file a complaint.
- Report scam calls to the National Consumers League Fraud Center, the Federal Trade Commission, and/or the Federal Communications Commission.
- Make sure not to disclose any personal information to telemarketers, no matter whether the call seems suspicious or not.

Reporting them to the FTC, FBI or any other federal agency is also a scam. They do nothing but keep statistics. Get in their face, be rude, threaten them. They won't do anything like filing charges because they have to tell why they called and where they are located. Then you can file charges on them
Again, don't waste your time with the feds. I had my congress person check into what the feds do and statistics is all they will do.

If you can create a digital paper trail, you can allege TCPA violations and make money =).

I get calls several times each day from "American Benefits". It's never been the same person twice. They all sound foreign. If you're smart you can tell it's probably a scam right away. I would recommend giving these people no information about your household or the people who live there. These people evidently want to sell you burial expense insurance and other things like that. I get appeals in the mail for the same thing, promising me a Walmart gift card if I respond within five days. I have responded several times and guess what? Right – no Walmart gift card, ever. This is a scam, undoubtedly. They want you to buy something that will probably be expensive and do you no good at all.

"James" calls me every day. He thinks he's being tough. I've said everything bad and nice, blocked numerous numbers again and again… and he already called today. I worry when the phone rings it's an emergency from my elderly parents, who live alone, but instead, it's… james just calling to mess with me and make me angry. James, if that's your real name, I want to let go of the daily hate you cause in my life and be a better person. Stop calling me.

Clearly a scam. "James" is either a bot that's doing a very convincing impression of a human or a human who's who's doing an impression of a brain dead bot. It asked me how I was doing today. I said that I had just gotten a terminal diagnosis. It paused, said "Great!" and continued with the sales pitch. If the calls weren't so relentless, I might enjoy the humor.
These calls are pretty easy to spot on the caller id. They're showing "V00409573300189" or something similar, always starting with "V00" and ending in "00189". The phone number varies, so they're hard to block.

Thanks Mike. Most likely "James" is what we call an "avatar caller" in the business. It's a set of pre-recorded responses that a foreign operator selects to respond to your statements.

Do not call me anymore. Your calls are not wanted. Further harassing and unwanted calls will result in litigation
David Duford
We're not calling you as we are not American Benefits. Read the article for some pointers that will help stop the calls.

'James' just called me too. 8am. I've been getting calls Every Single Day, I'm not even exaggerating, and usually more than one. They use my local area code which is pretty rotten. Idk wtf I did to start this whole thing, they rarely used to call me then suddenly it's a constant thing now..

You could try to place your number on the DNC list. Or, answer the phone, go through the process until you talk to a real person, and ask them to put you on the Do Not Call list.
