Description
I received a call from some lady who refused to identify herself by name with United. They stated that my phone number was provided to them by my mother and they wanted me to verify her Social Security number and date of birth. I refused and asked her what the phone call was about. She stated that there was a lawsuit pending against my mother but she declined to state who the complainant was and said there would be a process server coming through to serve papers. I researched them online, and there was nothing regarding a company called United that wasn't a healthcare MCO, grocery store or airline. I called the number back and a different person answered and asked my mother to verify the same information. She refused and asked what it was about. They refused to provide her with any information regarding a "lawsuit" against her. We waited for a process server, and of course, none showed up. SCAM! First off, if there was an actual lawsuit pending, either the papers would have come in the mail or a process server would have showed up out of the blue. They most definitely would not call someone's family member to solicit someone's personal information.
