Marvel Snap's new Deadpool trailer accidentally included a phone number leading to a fishy 'free medical alert device' promotion that I'm pretty sure is a scam

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.
