Person with heavy accent called saying she was calling on behalf of Walgreens saying my insurance wanted to have a pharmacist verify that I am taking my medications safely. She knew my name and the address of the Walgreens where I get my prescriptions filled. She then asked for my date of birth. Of course, I hung up but I am a bit disturbed on how this information would be so readily available.......
My husband got a call from this number; stated they were from Walgreens, had him verify his DOB and address and then reviewed all of his meds with him as well as any supplements/OTC meds he takes. I think he started to feel uneasy about the call b/c he mentioned it to me. We called the number and connected to an answering machine that said "thank you for calling Walgreens...". I then called Walgreens corporate customer service and they did not know the number or purpose for that type of call but were going to have their tech team look into it. My husband then called our local Walgreens who told him that it was indeed a call from Walgreens (or a third party on behalf of Walgreens) at the request of our health insurance company to help provide management and education of the medications he is taking. They had also called me but Mr. Number blocked it d/t a 7/10 spam rating; they did not leave a message. I hope they call again...
Walgreens corporate called me back and said they think it's a potential phishing for info scam and suggested I call my local law enforcement. Before I did that, though, I called my insurance company and indeed, it is a program for medication management through a partnership with Walgreens. So there you have it.
I just got a call from this number. I told them I was not comfortable discussing my medical history or what mess I'm on. He told me the local store will call and have me come in. Funny thing is I get only my flu shot from them and nothing else and I'm on a crap load of mess. Don't trust them.
Got two calls two days in a row. Says Walgreens on caller ID. No one left message. I called number back and got an answering machine saying you've reached Walgreens and for leave name and and phone number etc.
