To celebrate the upcoming release of Deadpool and Wolverine, which lands in theaters later this month, Marvel Snap released an animated trailer featuring the merc with a mouth talking excitedly, as he does, about upcoming summer drops. The video includes clips of Deadpool doing a TV pitchman bit, complete with an 800 number and various exhortations to "call now!" There's just one problem: The joke number is real, and I'm pretty sure it leads to an 800-number scam targeting elderly people.
The problem was noticed by RegisKillbin on Twitter, who said the phone number in the video—1-800-OHH-SNAP—goes to a promotional message for a "medical alert device" that could be a scam. Twitter user CallmeSal realized the same thing, and posted a video of a call to the number, during which he ends up speaking to someone who congratulates him for being eligible for a "free medical alert device," the name of which isn't specified in the video.
