Description

It’s a man he actually began by texting me with the message below that I copied and pasted from my messages but he had sent the message to me from the number. 1-347-716-4581 (Attention) Records show your health plan is at risk due to past due payments. Avoid losing coverage. Dial member services urgently at 307-205-1889. STOP to end I called the number to see what was going on and the guy answered. The phone says he’s with the health board of the state and charge to get me to allow him to send me a link to my phone to pay $573 or my health plan will be terminated immediately and will be sued and I said OK well which state you said you went to state what state he said ma’am this is your healthcare provider and you first have to prove it’s you before I can speak to you. I need your Social Security number date of birth, etc… I’ve been said sir. What state did you say you was and he said ma’am you need to give me your information now you will be in trouble .. I’ve been said sir you need to tell me what state you’re in or you will be in trouble and I will be calling the police and he hung up … and then called back just a couple times to see if he would answer my question. What state was he with and he kept hanging up in my face the second time I called he said I’m in the state of Uranus and then I have 24 hours to make my payment…. Anyways, I blocked the numbers both of them and hope that this guy that use me alone don’t know who he is or where he came from but he don’t seem to be giving up so hopefully this helps someone from answering a call or a message from this person may you all have a safe and blessed day
