Description
I received a call from a man who said he was an agent calling to help me find health insurance. He said he found a plan for me and i would pay 159.. i was charged 166 i was then transferred over to who he said would be an agent from health care dot gov. Who asked for my ssn and credit card information. I was receiving emails from health care gov so i thought it was legit. It turns out its a company called health sherpa. I canceled the health plan immediately after realizing its not what i thought i was getting. (Im still not sure if it was Canceled) I then proceeded to log into the member portal of membership benefits plus.. using a password they emailed to me. I then reset the password. I logged in and was not able to review any benefits information. I logged out and when i tried to log back in it jept saying my user info or password was incorrect. I requested a password reset and a different company abd email which was flagged as suspicious from google and couldn't be verified. It only gave along link to reset password. I then looked up membership benefits plus to review the company reviews and fiund out im not the only one to be scammed out if my health information and personal information. I thought i was getting health insurance instead its a discount plan .. and they charged more than they said they would. The scammer asjed about my health history, medicine im taking and also got my credit card information and personal information. He failed to tell me it was a discount plan he made it sound like it was the insurance plan.
