Fraudulent Callers Target Medical Information – Announcement - TopicsExpress



          

Fraudulent Callers Target Medical Information – Announcement from CDPH The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is warning the public this month about fraudulent phone callers seeking to deceive people into revealing sensitive personal health and financial information. The callers, who claim to be representatives of CDPH, contact people to inquire about a surgery or medical procedure in hopes of obtaining personal information such as bank accounts and medical history. CDPH does not make such calls. If you receive such a call, do not provide the caller with any personal information such as your address, date of birth, social security number, any banking or credit card information, or any health-related information. Instead, hang up and contact the Attorney Generals Office at (800) 952-5225 or online at oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company to report the call. Consumers can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at https://ftccomplaintassistant.gov/.
