Yesterday afternoon, a wave of calls from 833‑552‑1038 hit inboxes and phones nationwide. Most callers claim to represent Anthem or a Medicare‑welcome program, but they hand out a different name—often Care Guide—and pressure recipients for DOB, address, or social security details. That pattern matches a classic scam rather than a legitimate insurer. The safest move is to hang up, avoid sharing any personal info, and contact Anthem directly using the number on your member card. Block the source in your phone, file a complaint with the FCC or FTC, and consider a call‑filtering app for extra protection regularly today.
CareGuide, Inc. called about a health service. The info was vague and felt like a soft sell.
When I called them back, I reached a voicemail that identified the caller as CareGuide, with the caller ID displaying "Medicare Advantage." My research showed they are a recruiting firm. After an excessively long wait, I left a firm warning on the voicemail, stating I would report them to the proper government agency. I then blocked the number and posted here to begin a lawful investigation. I urge fellow readers to file complaints with the relevant authorities. Thanks!
Spam overload again, just another junk call with no value.
This is a scam

Fishy behavior is exhibited by claiming to be from care guide
They called me saying they were from Anthem and wanted to talk about Medicare benefits, they asked for my date of birth and other info, but they couldnt give me a number to call them back, thats when i knew it was a scam
This number is utilized by a persistent robo-caller; to avoid further disturbances, it's best to block the number permanently

A similar message was left, supposedly from Wellpoint Care Guide, with a call-back number of 757-209-0420; however, I didn't call back and found that the number wasn't listed when I looked up Wellpoint.
Before discussing health informations, they should verify the identity of the person they are talking to, by asking for their name and DOB
This number has called our house several times, and my mother even called them back, but i think they might be trying to get personal info from her

Currently bedridden, I unfortunately shared my birthdate before realizing the potential for phishing; they were seeking personal information.
The voicemail welcoming me to the Info Medicare Program and the rushed speech of the caller suggest a potentially fraudulent activity.
Another junk call trying to sell something I never asked for.
This number is associated with Medicare Advantage outreach; be cautious of unsolicited offers.
Another spam call that just read a script; wasted a minute of my day.
User advice is to exercise caution with this number.
