This was actually a legitimate call from Yvonne Austin of Geico Insurance. She called me and left a voicemail message saying that I had an open claim for an accident and that she need to collect information about my side of the story.
I had not been in an accident so I thought it was a scam. I logged into my Geico account online and saw that there was an open claim. All of the information she stated in the voicemail matched up to the information listed in my Geico Account. After verifying that there was a claim made on my Geico account and following up with Yvonne, it turns out that this was someone else's claim that was erroneously put into my account (same name with a slightly different date of birth).
She did ask me to verify my SS# but only the last 4 digits. She closed out the claim and made sure it didn't affect my policy costs.
I- got a call from 516-496-5000..I wanted to see who it was that called my cell phone..I did answer because I do know some people with 516 area code, but I couldn't understand the person on the other end, so I said, wrong number. Now that I am here, found out that it was Geico from other people, just to say, I never call or filled out an insurance application with Geico and I dont give out this cell phone to any commercial company
I just received the same thing. I was a passenger in an auto accident and the drivers insurance was GEICO. She asked if I was injured. I said no. She then asked for my DOB which I gave then she asked for my SS#. I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving that out.
