    Reviewed Feb. 20, 2015

    We ordered a Life Alert System for my mother after being repeatedly marketed to relentlessly by their sales people. When I spoke with them, they never mentioned a three year contract that I can recall. My mother does not remember signing a three year contract either. My mother moved into a senior retirement facility with home health care and a 24/7 emergency alert system. Because she does not wear a pendant around her neck, she is still required to keep the Life Alert system due to a three year contact. Also, her phone company is a cable provider, and the Life Alert system does not work with it the phone system. Even if we wanted to keep it, it doesn't work! Just to get out of the contract, they are charging her $200.

    On this Consumer Affairs website, it says that Life Alert has no contract. That is not true! I told Life Alert about what I read, and they said they have always had a three year contract. Please, when you are looking for an emergency calling system, call around and do your research. I would go with another company who has better customer service and doesn't take advantage of senior citizens. They were so rude when I talked to them and they gave my mother the runaround on three different occasions. I would never recommend Life Alert.

    Response from Life Alert

    Life Alert does not cold call or telemarket. When someone needs our product they call us, which is the case with this complaint. All of our representatives know our life saving agreement very well and advise potential customers thoroughly on the terms of the agreement.

    However, if there are any misunderstandings between the customer and our representatives in the initial first phone call, Life Alert provides a three-tiered, fail-safe, procedure that protects the customer from buyer’s remorse or not being fully informed of our agreement terms. The agreement is reviewed with the customers two more times by other individuals in different departments (not sales). The last person to call the customer to verify all the details of the agreement is a man who has been with the company since the beginning. He knows the agreement very well and knows how to clearly explain it so that there are no misunderstandings.

    Then the customer is given time to review the agreement before signing it and mailing it back to us. The customer IS NOT CHARGED until the signed agreement is received. More importantly, the terms of the agreement are stated boldly in large font at the beginning of the agreement so that our elderly customers can see it and understand it clearly. The claim that the complainant and her mother were not informed of the agreement terms is absolutely not true, since it was signed.

    The signed agreement explains that Life Alert will cancel the agreement if the user (in this case complainant’s mother) “enters into a skilled nursing facility or has 24 hour in-home professional care…” The complainant’s mother moved into a retirement facility, which is not a nursing home. A retirement facility does not guarantee immediate help in an emergency like a nursing home, 24-hr care, or Life Alert can.

    As for the phone cable provider, Life Alert offers a wireless solution for those who do not have a traditional landline.

    I contacted Life Alert after my mother suffered a stroke for additional information. What followed has been 4 weeks of daily, 3-5 calls/day and night, home and work sales calls. When I advised Life Alert I had gone with another company, they asked which one, for which I obliged Life Alert with the information and the extremely rude response was, "Well, THAT was a mistake" and I was hung up on. Considering the at risk population Life Alert claims to "serve" this was a very disturbing experience. I am just thankful it was me and not my mother trying to make and receive these calls. HORRIBLE SALES TACTICS.

    Response from Life Alert

    Life Alert apologizes for the behavior of this representative. This is not how we do business. Our sales teams are trained extensively on how to conduct themselves professionally at all times. We are grateful that this person filed a complaint so that we are aware of the situation, and we have taken disciplinary action against the representative.

    Life Alert believes it is important to remain professional and caring always because many times people who have gone with a competitor tend to sign up with Life Alert later down the road due to our outstanding service; top of the line equipment; and our owned and operated, large, emergency dispatch center – advantages that our competitors do not have.

    So having a potential customer be turned off by us due to a rude representative means that we not only lost her business now but in the future as well.

    Again, Life Alert is truly sorry any inconveniences or unpleasantness that this person may have experienced.

    Response from Life Alert

    The calls you are receiving is a nationwide scam from medical alert imposters using robo-calls and claiming to be Life Alert.

    These calls are not made by Life Alert; they are telemarketing scammers trying to mislead and defraud consumers by using our trademarked name.

    Life Alert does not employ telemarketers or perform cold calls.

    To learn more, simply type "Medical Alert scam" on your internet browser and many news articles will appear reporting on the scam.

    We cannot tell you how to stop more calls from coming, since they are not coming from Life Alert; however, we recommend filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at 1-877-382-4357 against any scam number(s) that you capture on your caller ID. When you talk with them, please remember to tell them it is a scam call and is not coming from the Life Alert Corporation. Also, you may want to contact your telephone provider and have a block placed on any scam number(s) you capture on your caller ID.

    Please note, if the call prompts you to press a number to be taken off the call list, we suggest you do not press that number - it will only activate more calls.

    Life Alert is doing everything in our power to notify the public:
    1. Fraud information has been posted on our website and our social media sites.
    2. Press releases have been sent to the media to inform the general public of the scam.
    3. TV and Radio news have reported the scam.
    4. The Attorney Generals' offices and the BBB have been notified and have been reporting the scam.
    5. The FBI has been notified.

    6. A Fraud Prevention Task Force has been established at Life Alert corporate.

    Life Alert is working with the FCC and authorities to find and shut down these illegal call centers.
