It seems like the number +18557905018 is part of a widespread scam, often masquerading as Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Users report receiving automated calls and voicemails, asking them to call back with requests for personal information like names, dates of birth, and even Social Security numbers. Some callers have been asked to verify details about other people on their insurance plans, which is highly unusual and a red flag. The real Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has confirmed that these calls are not from them and that they do not communicate in this manner. If you receive a call from this number, do not provide any personal information. Instead, hang up and contact your insurance provider directly using a verified number. Stay vigilant and report these calls to the FTC to help others avoid falling victim to this scam.
I am curious as to how this efects tax forms, if at all...
A call was received from someone claiming to represent BCBS.
It is worth noting that personal information such as names and dates of birth are publicly accessible, and data mining companies often use this information to target individuals, particularly as they approach 65 years of age
Initially, a call from 978-775-6227, claiming to be from Massachusetts, prompted a return call to 855-711-9090-5018, but after verifying my name and being asked for my birthday, the call seemed suspicious, and it was ended; the concern now is what information might have been compromised.
Posing as Anthem BCBS
A voice message from 855-790-5018 claimed to be from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, stating they had an important reminder for me
I recieved a voicemail with my name, and it was about a claim #264761, and it said it was a legal matter, but somethings dont add up
After contacting Anthem, they confirmed this number as spam, stating that 855-790-5018 is definitely not a legitimate number
A message was left instructing me to call Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield at 855-790-5018, claiming to have an important message, but I suspect a scam since I have Anthem insurance and this number is not associated with my account, belonging instead to my parents several hours away.
A robocaller left a message on my phone, asking me to call back for antem info, but my HR said this is not a legit way for the plan to comunicate, it's likly a social enginering atempt, hoping to get me to call back
A scammer, posing as Blue Cross/Anthem, left a message for me on my husband's office phone, asking for my date of birth and personal questions before I realized it was a scam and contacted the real Anthem.
I reported this incident to the FTC, who assured me that the limited information I provided would not put me at risk, unless I had also shared my SS#, in which case a credit freeze would be necessary
A call, supposedly from Anthem, was received on my husband's phone, and a response to verification questions may have compromised our security.
This is clearly a fraudulent call, claiming to be from BCBS, but it's not legitimate, with four calls in two days, even on a holiday weekend, supposedly for an urgent reminder, which is a clear indication of a scam
An automated call was received from a number claiming to represent BCBS, requesting to speak with my wife regarding a reminder. Upon calling back the provided number, another automated message was encountered, mentioning various TV and internet service providers, which strongly suggests a scam.
Apparently it's a scammer trying to obtain your insurance info to bill, not affiliated with BCBS
An automated attendant from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield claimed to need some information, but after asking for my date of birth and social security number, I ended the call
A voicemail message was received on 08/18/2019 at 10:46 AM EST, identified as SPAM by Verizon, from the number 978-775-6227, claiming to be Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and requesting a callback to 855-790-5018, which appears to be a fraudulent scheme
There is strong reason to believe that this is a scam, and caution is advised, as the incoming caller ID displayed Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, but it was not a legitimate call from them.
I recieved a simillar call, they left a message asking me to call back a particullar number, but it turned out to be a scam, dont verify anything with this number!
I recieved a call today, it was a recording, they claimed to be Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem and asked me to call them back, but i had allready answered the call and there was no option to speak with a live person, BCBS usuallly contacts me by mail, so im not gonna call them back
A voice message was received, allegedly from Anthem Blue Cross, requesting a callback, but the call was not returned due to suspicion.
Received a call from +1 (412) 894-1615, which I answered once, and a recording requested my husband by name to call back at the listed number without providing an option to speak to a representative
My mother recieved a call from someone claiming to be from Blue Cross Shield, they had a reminder for me but didnt specifiy what it was for, I wont be calling them back.
The caller asked to speak with our daughter and requested a callback, but when I contacted Blue Cross-Blue Shield, they found no record of such a call
The caller requested that our daughter contact them as well.
They were asking for my daugther to contact them
