Alabama Medicaid officials warn that a telephone scam has been reported aimed at obtaining personal and banking information from Medicaid recipients.Medicaid Deputy Commissioner for Beneficiary Services Lee Rawlinson said Alabama residents have reported receiving phone calls from people pretending to be Medicaid eligibility workers. Rawlinson said the callers ask for bank account numbers and other personal information so they can send out a new identification card.
She said Medicaid workers would never call and ask recipients for bank account numbers over the telephone.
Suspected fraudulent activity should be reported to the agency's fraud hotline at 1-866-452-4930.

ReplyDeleteVery scary!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! This is why whenever I get anonymous calls, I hang up right away. Sometimes, I don't pick up at all. And I report the phone numbers to http://www.callercenter.com to get the word out.
