Expert Opinion
Looks like someone is spoofing health‑care messaging, according to many callers. The recordings consistently lack a proper greeting and claim to be a registered nurse team from United Healthcare, urging a callback to a toll‑free line. Since the script sounds generic and the call‑back number isn’t tied to any official UHC account, treating it as a scam is wise. Hang up, never share personal or insurance details, and verify any request directly through the insurer’s official website or phone portal. Add the number to your Do‑Not‑Call list, block it on your device, and report the incident to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency. Quick steps like these can keep your health information safe.
