Government agencies NEVER robo-dial like this, you idiots! Even before this pandemic year, the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, Medicare, healthcare.gov, and other government agencies NEVER had call centers that robo-dialed OUT. Their phone numbers were only used for people dialing IN after those SPECIFIC people received letters in the mail telling them to call or reply back via mail. Government agencies always mail letters to you first. Even before the pandemic, the government never ran big phone rooms that robo-dialed thousands of people everyday. Now with the pandemic, all these government workers only answer INCOMING calls from people phoning them, and the workers are all working remotely from their homes. They are NOT phoning people with unsolicited bulk-message calls. This massive phone campaign is being done by one of the organized crime rings in the Philippines who have also been running fake Medicare, health insurance, and life insurance scams for the past few years. BE SMART! Or be prepared to spend years and thousands of dollars in trying to clear up your name after you were STUPID and gave out your SSN and Medicare numbers to these identity thief scammers!

No longer beed coverage asked to be taken off

Stop these calls

I got so many spam calls, texts and emails about “losing my eligibility” and it wasn’t even based on accurate information. Either this wasn’t really the Heallthcare Market or they really need to fix their algorithms.

Calling ever day

Bothersome as I don’t qualify

I have group insurance

The government never robo-dials people like this. The gov always mails latter. In fact, this scam uses the exact same approach as all the fake student loan forgiveness scam calls coming from India where those recordings also tell you to complete you student loan application. smh

Too many annoying and repetitive calls. Every day.

This is the real number from healthcare.gov. Problem is scammers can fool caller id so the legit number is displayed. If you didn't ask for insurance info from the government, it is a scam call. Be careful not to give info if you aren't positive who you are really talking to.

People commenting here and saying that this call is legit are either the scammers themselves spreading fake comments saying this number is legit (and scammers posting fake comments on RoboKiller happens frequently) or you people are idiots who are getting your identity, and thousands of your dollars, stolen by foreign scammers this year.

As the past few comments mentioned, government agencies NEVER robo-dial people. They mail letters instead. Scammers can spoof fake Caller ID numbers faster than you can change your underwear. The commenters below who are reporting this as Safe-Allow are either dumb ignorant fools who will soon get their money and identity stolen, or the Allow posts are actually being done by the scammers themselves. I have seen numerous RoboKiller 'Allow' comments that really look like fake comments posted by the scammers, so you have to watch out for fake 'Allow' setups done by scammers on this website.

I do so enjoy the Bots when sales callers fall for them!

Fake Healthcare.gov scam by criminals phoning from the Philippines. 800-318-2596 is the official Healthcare.gov number. However, for many years now, a VERY common phone scam involves spoofing the actual name and number of a valid business on Caller ID to trick you into believing the caller is legitimate. Healthcare.gov, the IRS, and the Social Security Administration all initially notify you by mailing paper letters to you. None of these three government agencies call you or email you, so these calls are all 99% scams. This is ESPECIALLY true if the caller asks for your Social Security number, which none of these agencies will ask you for. This scam is part of a massive and widespread identity theft, health insurance, and Medicare healthcare scam by criminals calling from the Philippines using thousands of different spoofed phone numbers to steal your credit card number, Medicare and Social Security numbers, and personal information to commit Medicare fraud and identity theft under the pretense of saying that they will help you obtain health insurance or Medicare supplement plans. This Filipino scammer, with more women than men in their overseas phone room, asks for you by your name to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are randomly auto-dialing everyone. Scammers use huge phone database listings of millions of names with phone numbers and addresses to have the autodialer display the name that is currently dialed. About 80% of North America scam calls come from India and 15% come from the Philippines. India scammers run hundreds of fraud, extortion, and money laundering scams every day such as posing as a fake pharmacy, fake Social Security officer saying your benefits are suspended, IRS officer collecting on fake unpaid back taxes, debt collector threatening you for fake unpaid bills, fake bank/financial/FedEx/UPS/DHL scams, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, student loan forgiveness, credit card and debt consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say an unauthorized purchase was made to your credit card or your Prime membership was auto-debited from your bank, posing as Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple to say your account has been hacked or they detected a virus on your computer, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, fake Google/Alexa listing and work-from-home scams, posing as an electric utility, Verizon, AT&T, or Comcast to say your service is suspended, fake solar panel and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to steal your credit card, bank account/routing number, Social Security number, and personal information. A India call center may rotate through a fake Social Security, subscription auto-renewal, pharmacy, and credit card offer scam within one week. Philippines scammers focus more on Medicare and SSN/identity theft. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack devices) or they spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. Anyone can use telecom software to phone with a fake CID name and number. Scammers spoof thousands of fake 8xx toll-free numbers. CID is useless with scam calls unless the scam asks you to phone them back. CID area codes are never the origin of scam calls since scams use spoofed CID numbers from across the US and Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams often spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual phone numbers of businesses such as Apple, Verizon, and banks to trick you into thinking the call is valid. How can you avoid being scammed by phone calls? NEVER trust any unsolicited caller who sells something (most unsolicited calls are scams so your odds of saving money are very poor); asks for your Social Security number; offers a free gift or reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit or says you need to reply back soon (pressure tactic); asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims suspicious activity on your account; says your subscription is being refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all pre-recorded messages. Recordings are far more likely to be malicious scams and not just telemarketer spam. All unsolicited callers with foreign accents, usually Indian or Filipino, are mostly scams. Filipino scammers tend to speak better English than Indian scammers. Filipinos speak English with a subtle accent having a slight trill. Scams often say that you inquired about a job, insurance, social security benefits, or that you previously contacted them or visited their website. A common India phone scam uses a fake Amazon recording about a purchase of an iPhone, but Amazon never robo-dials and Amazon account updates are emailed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always verify the number that the recording tells you to phone or just call the number printed on your credit card. Some scams ask for your credit card for purchase of their fake product or service. The scammer calls you back one day later to say their credit card machine is broken, so you must wire transfer the payment to them. After you have wired the money to them, they still overcharge your credit card after they change phone numbers, so they rob you twice before disappearing. Wire transfers and prepaid debit cards laundered through foreign bank accounts are untraceable. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call, but their autodialer automatically displays your name or says your name in a recording when your number is dialed using phone databases that list millions of names and addresses. Scammers often call using an initial recording speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech translation software to disguise the origin of their India phone room. Some speech synthesis software sound robotic, but others sound natural. To hide their foreign accents, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. Scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) robotic software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "Hi, this is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, this is fake_name, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? (pause) Are you there?"; or "Hi, may I speak to your_name?" IVR quickly asks you a short question to elicit a yes/no reply so it hangs up if it encounters voicemail. IVR robots understand basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "How is the weather over there?" since IVR cannot answer complex questions and it keeps talking if you interrupt it in mid-sentence. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or SSN. A common myth is IVR calls record you saying "yes" so scammers can authorize purchases just using your "yes" voice, but scammers need more than just a recorded "yes" from you - credit cards and SSN. Phone/email scams share two common traits: the CID name/number and the "From:" header on emails are easily faked, and the intent of scam calls is malicious just as file attachments and website links on scam emails are harmful. Scams snowball for many victims. If your personal/financial data are stolen, either by being scammed, visiting a malicious website, or by a previous data breach of a business server that stores your data, then your data gets sold by scammers on the dark web who will see you as fresh meat and prey on you even more. This is why some receive 40+ scam calls everyday while others get 0 to 2 calls per day. If you provide your personal information to a phone scammer, lured by fake 80%-discounted drugs or scared by fake IRS officers, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Most unsolicited calls are scams, often with an Indian accent. No other country is infested with pandemics of phone room sweatshops filled with criminals who belong to the lowest India caste and many are thieves and rapists who were serving jail time but released early due to prison overcrowding. Scammers often shout profanities at you. Just laugh at their abusive language. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites, e.g. call him "Rundi Ka Bacha" (son of whore) or call her "Rundi Ki Bachi" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry; asking scammers to stop calling is useless. You do these scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. But you ruin their scams when you slowly drag them along on the phone call, give them fake personal and credit card data (16 random digits starting with 4 for Visa, 5 for MasterCard), ask them to speak louder and repeat what they said to waste their time and energy.

Won’t stop calling even tho I said not interested

Caller probably did not realize his speaker was left on while he conversed with others in a noisy boiler room, speaking what sounded like Filipino or Tagalog, before he finally spoke to me a minute later. Spoke with a slight accent. When he asked for my social number, I just laughed and hung up. If you fall for this scam, you will get your identity stolen.

Insurance SCAM!There are TONS of these health insurance, Medicare, and life insurance scams this year, with most of the scams coming from India and the Philippines. Stay safe and don't buy ANYTHING from an unsolicited caller this year! And don't give out your Social or Medicare numbers to any unsolicited callers!
