(AP)  The New York state attorney general's office is warning New Yorkers against scam robocalls targeting seniors and offering free medical alert equipment with back-end fees for monitoring.

The calls warn of injuries and deaths because of delayed responses to medical emergencies, fires, burglaries and falls.
