What is this scam?

Pharmacy calls are often a legitimate form of robocall. Many pharmacies use robocalling for prescription pick-up reminders. Scammers aren't above using your health as a scare tactic, though. If a pharmacy call is requesting payment over the phone -- or if they want payment in a non-standard form such as gift cards or wire transfers -- it may be s scammer. In some cases, pharmacy robocall scams target the pharmacies themselves. Scammers pose as a DEA or FBI agent, demanding patient personal information from the pharmacist. This is one unfortunate way your personal information can be leaked without any action on your part.
