This is an automated call from CVS/CAREMARK....I finally answered and they had a prescription of mine that needed to be refilled. I have told them several times, their number comes up as "Out of area" and asked why they can't have it come up as CAREMARK....They tell me it is an automation system, and they make calls for a lot of
other companies. It is a legit call !!!!!
This number of 423-822-2465 was shown on my phone as unavailable. They did not say they were CVS. They called me by name and said they need my date of birth mm/dd/yy. If they are CVS or not - I'm not confirming any info. Last week we received a call on the cell phone. The recording said they were at&t and were doing a security check, and needed the last four digits of our social security number. Fat chance buster. AT&T said they didn't do it - as I checked with them.
Received same call this morning from someone identifying themselves as CVS Caremark, requesting my birth date.
I called CVS Caremark and they said they had received numerous reports from other people who had received the same call. I was told CVS does not make calls to their members without first notifying them by mail and to never give out any personal information . I called the 423 822-4265 number back and was asked for a seven digit security code. CVS said there is no
security code affiliated with their service.
Truly legitimate. As said elsewhere this is for CVS Caremark, which is the mail service arm of CVS Pharmacy. They have separate systems from each other. I have to maintain two separate online accounts with them. The CVS Caremark is often used by your employer sponsored insurance as a cheaper method of filling any of your long term prescriptions, regardless of who you personally get your prescriptions filled by. When you call the number back if you call from the phone number they have on file for you it will automatically pull up your account information on file with them. It then will request your DOB and mailing zip code for verification that you are indeed their account holder. As one reviewer said, this is a much cheaper way of filling your ongoing prescriptions. I hate telemarketer calls and report them as such when they are but this is not one of them.
CALL THE LEGIT NUMBER FOR CVS CAREMARK HELP DESK ON YOUR INSURANCE CARD. PLEASE DO NOT CALL ANY NUMBER WHICH IS NOT ON YOUR INSURANCE CARD.
I CALLED THE CVS CAREMARK HELP DESK NUMBER , AND THE PROMPT CLEARLY STATES THAT IF YOU ARE A CAREMARK PATIENT THEY WILL GUIDE YOU THRU THE CALL, I SELECTED I WANTED TO SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE, AND TOLD HER THAT 423-822-2465 KEEPS CALLING SAYING THAT THEY ARE CVC CAREMARK AND IT IS ABOUT MY PRESCRIPTION,SHE TOLD ME THEY HAVE "...THOUSANDS OF NUMBERS" AND WE CANNOT KNOW IF 423-822-2465 IS ALEGIT NUMBER OF THEIRS, SHE COULD NOT VERIFY.
I MENTIONED I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FBI ABOUT THIS AND ASKED THEM TO VERIFY, AS THEIR A*** IS ONLINE NOW IF THE CALL COMES AGAIN, AS IT IS LEGIT HARASSMENT AND A SCAM ON ELDERLY BY "SCAMMER " WHO ARE USING THE CVS CAREMARK NAME.
