Expert Opinion

Who would have guessed that a routine insurance check‑in could turn out to be a spoof? Callers using the Blue Shield or Blue Cross brand often try to harvest personal data by slipping a toll‑free number into the conversation. Never share sensitive information until you confirm the call through an official channel. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection office. Keep a log of the call details, and consider using a call‑blocking app. Verifying the caller on the insurer’s website is the fastest way to avoid a scam.
