I got a call (978) 806-4934 this morning. It was a robocall from WellCare to let me know I had some prescriptions past due to be refilled. I called the number on the back of my WellCare plan card, and the agent with WellCare confirmed that this is a legitimate auto dial number for WellCare that calls when their system shows a subscriber is past due on getting medicine refills. The WellCare agent told me that I in fact had three prescriptions more than 30 days past their normal refill date. She also confirmed that I was still taking those meds, and advised me that I should contact my pharmacy to request refills.

VM from "Wellcare" called from 978 806 4934 and left message to call back at 877 559 1147 concerning information about "prescription." VM stated CORRECT NAME of household resident prescription!!!! 877 number for call back ‘Wanted to record conversation for training purposes’ I STATED NO WAY TO RECORD CALL. When REFUSING to be RECORDED the auto caller will end the call. Guessing SCAMMERS want to record your insurance info and VOICE for nefarious reasons. Neither phone numbers are on insurance card. BLOCKED BOTH PHONE NUMBERS!!! DEFINITELY A SCAM!!!

FAKE medical/dental, Medicare, "National Disability Services", "Citizens Disability", "Patient Care Services" (or some other fake name) health insurance scam by madarchod criminals phoning from India. This is a massive widespread identity theft, health insurance, fake pharmacy, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, or Social Security disability benefits healthcare scam by criminals calling from India 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, Medicare supplement plans, Social Security disability benefits, funeral burial expense or life insurance. The call may either begin with a recording falsely saying that you had inquired with them about applying for health insurance or monthly Social Security disability benefits, or you may immediately talk to the scammer. The India scammer usually asks for you by your name to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are 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. If you decline their fake scam, they sometimes threaten you, saying that you need their fake insurance or else you can be arrested or fined. About 57% of North America scam calls come from India, 22% from Philippines, 14% 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 and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to phish your financial and personal data. Indian scammers often rotate through fake tech support, fake auto-renewals/charges, fake pharmacy, many loan and tax/debt relief scams, and fake charity donation scams on the same day. Filipino scammers run many Social Security and Medicare identity theft, and auto/home/health/life insurance 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 AI translation 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 "Is the willy fuzzy box open?" since IVR cannot answer complex/odd 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 "Rundi Ka Beta" (son of whore) or call her "Rundi Key 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.

Caller ID showed call coming from Wellcare saying they had info about my prescription... When they asked for my date of birth, I hung up and contacted Wellcare... This phone number is NOT one of their satellite numbers... DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR INFO... Call the number on the back of your card...

Not really Wellcare

September 3, 2025

Calls all the time. Same message. Calling from Wellcare about prescription reminders and "help" with refills. Funny, the caller ID that shows up on my phone says Blue Cross. And I do NOT find online anywhere their numbers associated with Wellcare.

August 29, 2025

Automated voice (poorly rendered) called to claim they had important information regarding my prescription and that I needed to call back. This message was left twice in the past 2 business days. When I returned the call on the number they left (1-877-559-1147) the same (fake) voice asked for my birthdate and Wellcare ID numbers. That is when I hung up and blocked the number.

August 26, 2025

Called and let two messages both from separate phone numbers saying they were Well Care and wanted to annswer questions about prescriptions.

March 21, 2025

Left message and they knew my name. It was an automated call. The call back number was different, so I blocked them. The numbers did not match any phone numbers I have for Wellcare. They also texted me the other day. I reported that as spam.

February 12, 2025

Left Message....Knew my name....Called back number left on mesage (different from calling number) just to see who answered.....automated answer asking for my birthday...........Hung Up. If it was really Wellcare, they will call back.
