Putting the ‘BS’ in BCBS

[TheWorldNewsOrg]

·         We’ve always known scammers are sick; maybe that’s why they’re trying to get your health insurance information? Whatever the reason, they’ve increasingly been calling and pretending to be with Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. When a target picks up the phone, they’ll say that they need to replace an insurance card, collect payment on a past-due bill or otherwise obtain personal information because there’s a “problem with the account” or they need to “update the records,” “confirm your address,” etc. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Never give your information to some rando on the other end of the line (no matter how convincing the pitch may seem). In the case of insurance questions, whip out your insurance card and call the number on the back for more info.
