Expert Opinion

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.
