Sedalia Dave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Have received several calls in the last week all from people claiming that they have been contracted by A. My Employer B. My PPO medical provider C. My Prescription drug provider Every time the person is cheerful and introduces themselves. They all tell me about how one of the above is lacking in coverage or that due to the Coronavirus I am eligible for additional coverage. In every case they cannot tell me who my employer actually is or the name of my actual insurer. But they insist that they are under contract and that all they need is for me to verify personal information to "help" me. Please spread the word to anyone that might fall for this scam that it is a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My phone is on "do not disturb" and it will only let my contacts get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I do not answer my phone if I don’t recognize the number. If they leave a message I may call back. If they don’t I delete the number and move on. By doing this my scammer spammer calls are nil. If they don’t get an answer they don’t pass your number on to others. I have one friend who calls from various numbers but won’t leave a message. I know this because he emailed asking why I never answer my phone. I told him to give me a solid number and I will plug it into my contacts. He finally did. It’s simple, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Revenue Canada keeps calling saying that if I don't pay my overdue taxes, an arrest warrant will be issued. They want me to send them the overdue amount in gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Same thing with Social Security or IRS calls. "If you don't (fill in the blank) we'll terminate your account. They will never phone you. Those agencies will always send letters. I just hang up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
