FAKE pharmacy healthcare scam by madarchod criminals phoning from India to steal your money! These fake Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, Rite-Aid impersonations, US/Canadian/Online/Global Pharmacy, Pharmacy Services/Network, Senior Care/Benefits, Group Plan Pharmacy, Healthcare Solutions/Specialists, Pain Management Center, and other spoofed Caller ID names are criminals calling from India to steal credit cards, Social Security and Medicare numbers, and your personal data for identity theft. The scammer often asks for you by name to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are auto-dialing everyone. The scammer may say "remember you purchased from us before?", "I am calling about your prescription", "we work with Medicare", "we partner with your insurance company", or "our drugs are made in the US", which are all fake just like the fake drugs that they pretend to sell. The scam may involve fake surveys. Pharmacy scams try to sell you fake ED drugs, painkillers, weight loss, fake vitamins, or diabetes drugs. Many fake pharmacies pretend to be a healthcare company and ask for your SSN. If you are a "lucky" scam victim, you receive nothing and the scammers disappear after overcharging your credit card, or fake drugs are shipped from India but seized by US Customs and law enforcement. If you are an unlucky scam victim, you receive pills/capsules that are just dirty flour or starch, and these fake drugs are tainted with toxic contaminants that destroy your liver and kidneys. More than 85% of all fake drug scams in the world are from India scammers who partner with package counterfeiters to make the fake drugs look authentic. Millions of people die from counterfeit drugs every year. Fake drug scams have persisted for centuries because scammers easily create their own pills/capsules and only a laboratory can verify what is inside them. Anyone can buy tablet pill press or capsule loader machines for under $300 or machines that create perfect-looking pills and capsules for under $1500. Buy a fake Rolex and you look cool. Buy fake drugs and you ruin your health. You are a fool if you think you can buy cheap drugs from scammers who constantly change phone numbers. Most fake pharmacy scammers sell your credit card and personal data on the dark web and then even more scammers prey upon you. About 35% of North America scam calls come from India, 30% from Philippines, 30% from China/Myanmar. Foreign scammers run thousands of fraud, extortion, 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, posing as utility/phone/internet companies, 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, 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 scams, fake solar panel and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to steal your financial and personal data. Indian scammers often rotate through fake tech support, subscription auto-renewal, and fake pharmacy scams on the same day. Filipino scammers run many loan and tax/debt relief, Social Security and Medicare identity theft, auto/home/health/life insurance, and fake charity donation scams. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack) and telecom software to spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. 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/Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual name and number of businesses such as 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 Medicare or Social Security number; offers debt relief, loan services, Medicare assistance (people who are old or desperate in debt often fall for scams); offers a free gift/reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit; asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims your account is frozen or has suspicious activity; says a subscription is refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all 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. No other countries are infested with phone room sweatshops filled with criminals. Most Filipino scammers speak better English than Indian scammers. Filipinos speak English with a subtle accent that may sound Hispanic. To hide their foreign origin, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. Scams often falsely say that you previously contacted them or visited their website. Indian scammers play fake Amazon recordings. Amazon account updates are emailed, not robo-dialed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always call the number printed on your credit card to verify if the fraud alert is real or fake. Scammers impersonate phone/cable/internet companies, offering fake discounts or service upgrades. Indians impersonate the IRS and Social Security Administration. The IRS/SSA never make unsolicited calls and never threaten to arrest you; they initiate contact via postal mail. Real lawsuits are not phoned in, especially not using recorded threats lacking details; legal notices are mailed/couriered. The police, FBI, DEA never phone to threaten arrest; they show up in person with a warrant. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call; your name, address, birthday are public data. Many scammers, especially female Filipinas, use "romance scam" tactics of sounding really friendly as if they are your best friend or lover to try to gain your affection and trust, hoping that you let your guard down so they can easily steal your identity and money. Scammers often play recordings speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech translation AI software to disguise the origin of their overseas phone room. Some speech synthesis sound robotic, but most AI speech sound very realistic. Scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) AI/NLP software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "This is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? 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. One myth is that saying "yes" to IVR lets scammers use your voice sample for other scams. IVR understands basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "How is the weather there?" since IVR cannot answer complex questions. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or 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 only 0 to 2 calls per week. If you provide your personal data to a phone scammer, lured by 80%-discounted fake drugs or fake loan and debt services, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Scammers often shout profanities at you. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites, e.g. call him "Randi Ka Beta" (son of whore) or call her "Randi Ka Betty" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Asking scammers to stop calling is useless. Scam recordings often tell you to press a keypad number to be placed on their Do-Not-Call list or to unsubscribe from their scam texts/emails, but those keypad commands are fake and they say that just to sound legit. Scammers often provide a toll-free callback number to look like a real business, but they regularly shed old callback numbers so you can never reach the scammers once you have realized that you were scammed. Scammers tell you their callback number just to gain your trust long enough to steal your identity and money and then they frequently switch to using new callback numbers. You do these scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. YOU SHOULD SCAMBAIT ALL SCAMMERS - slowly drag scammers along on the phone call, provide fake personal and financial 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.

I just got off of the phone with the REAL CVS/Caremark. They (including supervisor) said it IS NOT one of their numbers! They are tracing the number now. SCAM!

October 9, 2024

Legit number for Caremark. They are the pharmacy benefits manager for my BCBS HMO. Called to let me know that a prior authorization was denied, and that I would be getting a letter in the mail. They had called earlier and left a voicemail requesting a call back and providing a 7 digit pin, which definitely sounds like a scam, but it's actually legit.

C*S Caremark. Legit call

October 10, 2019

This is a confirmed scam. I called the real company to ask if they do this, and they confirmed it is a scam. More details: I keep getting calls from this number with a recording that asks me to confirm my name (it knows it) and then asks me to enter my date of birth. If I don't answer, the message says it's CVS Caremark with info from my insurance, and to pease call back with the PIN they give me. I called the actual CVS Caremark and got confirmation that they do not do this (and that I don't even have an account with them anyway. Caremark is a mail order rx service, it's separate from getting rx filled at a CVS).
