When a call shows up as Walgreens but asks for personal health details, treat it like a red flag. Verify the number with your local pharmacy before sharing any information, and never give out your date of birth or medication list to an unsolicited caller. If the caller claims to be part of a medication‑management program, ask for written proof from your insurer or the pharmacy. Hang up if the script feels scripted or the accent seems off, and report the number to your carrier’s spam‑block service. Protect your PHI, keep a log of suspicious calls, and let your pharmacist be the final gatekeeper for any medication‑related queries.
My husband received a call from an individual with an accent claiming to represent Walgreens, seeking to conduct a medication survey, which he declined.
Years after the initial call, I received another call from this number, and they had knowledge of my medication. I ended the call immediately.
At 5:05pm, I recieved a call which I unusualy answered, despite the unfamiliar number. The caller didnt respond, so I disconected the call. If they contact me again, I will ignore it.
A man with a thick accent calld claiming to be from Walgreens, but my local pharmacist checked the call list and confirmed it wasnt them, this is defenitly a scam
The caller ID displayed Walgreens, but due to the unfamiliar area code, I didn't answer and blocked the number, planning to verify my medications with the store
While residing in South Florida, I received a call from an individual claiming to be from Walgreens' main call center, stating that a pharmacist needed to discuss one of my medications, and they requested personal information, which I refused to provide, finding the situation disturbing.
A call from an Illinois number claiming to be Walgreens discussed a medication but seemed suspicious when they couldn't connect me to a pharmacist and asked for my date of birth.
I experienced a similar situation where a caller claimed to be researching an insurance issue related to our local Walgreens, but the story seemed suspicious
I got two calls from this number and i just ignore them, i think its safer to call my pharmacist or talk in person
Although the Caller ID indicated it was a call from Walgreen's, the number did not match that of my local store. A woman claimed to be from Walgreen's, stating she needed to discuss medication, and when asked to confirm her identity, the line was immediately disconnected, raising suspicions about the legitimacy of the call.
Personal information, including my wife's and my cell phone numbers, as well as details about my recent prescription, is somehow known to these callers, who addressed me by name and made calls on Thanksgiving and the following day
A man contacted me, asking to speak with my wife, and mentioned that the call was being recorded, but he hung up after I informed him she was unavailable.
It seems they are at it again, just ignore the call and dont answer
The caller claim to be from Walgreens but he had a strong accent and was calling from over 1000 miles away, thats very suspisious
Repeated unwanted calls have been made to my phone from 305-507-6949 and 224-323-5002, with both numbers displaying Walgreens on the caller ID, yet no messages were ever left.
After receiving the same call, I visited a pharmacy and inquired about it with the pharmacist, who was unaware of the call, leading me to believe it's a scam.
This number is associated with Walgreens' Customer Care Center in Florida, specifically handling Medicare Rx inquiries.
The caller ID displayed Walgreens, and the caller claimed to be verifying my prescriptions due to a partnership with Humana. However, when I contacted Humana, they stated they hadn't authorized such a call.
The caller claimed to be from Walgreens, asking to speak with 'Mary', but when questioned, became evasive and requested personal information, ultimately ending the call.
As a certified pharmacy assistant, I believe this number might be related to Medication Management, a legitimate service, albeit with some implementation issues.
Although the caller ID indicated Walgreens, since this is not the number of my local Walgreens and I am over 1,000 miles away from Illinois, I chose not to answer. The caller left no message on both occasions. It's prudent not to answer questions over the phone, especially regarding sensitive information, as this could lead to scams or misinformation. Only trusted healthcare providers should offer medical advice or instructions.
A thorough reading of the law reveals it does not entirely prohibit the release of certain information, as this would hinder their ability to conduct business and bill insurance companies or Medicare/Medicaid.
If Walgreens or an insurance carrier is sharing personal or medical information without consent, it's a violation of HIPAA regulations and could be grounds for a lawsuit.
A foreign male, supposedly named Victor, contacted me requesting prescription informations, however the caller ID showed Walgreens, which raised suspicions, especally since our insurance companey didnt send any informations
Lying about beeing asked for a social secuirity number is not aceptable
Google searches indicate that this number is likely a scam, so caution is advised.
This call center, disguised as Walgreens or an insurance company, appears to be harvesting information for resale.
If this is really Walgreens, they should of left a message with a call back number, but none of these annoying calls did, so its probably spam
I've gotten two calls from this number, the first one was yesterday, and they didnt leave a message today, it's from IL, USA
What is the point of all this, most of the posts here say its a scam, and caller id spoofing makes it impossibl to trust enny call.
