Contact 6 warns seniors of "robocalls"

MIlWAUKEE (WITI) -- Questionable calls in the Milwaukee area are targeting senior citizens.

Consumer Protection says the calls are automated from companies called "Senior Emergency Care," "Senior Safety Alert" and "Senior Safe Alert" -- trying to sell some kind of personal emergency alert system.

The state says the calls are coming from Wisconsin area codes, but the company might actually be located out of state - misrepresenting themselves with a questionable product.  The calls also claim the company's products are "free," but then charge around $30 per month for service.

Consumer protection also warns the companies might simply be seeking your credit card and personal information.

Contact 6 left two messages with "senior safe alert" but never had our messages answered.

If you get one of these calls and you're unsure what to do, the best policy is always - just hang up.
