United Healthcare scam calls – protect your info!

Expert Opinion
Calls claiming to be from United Healthcare often ask for your date of birth or other personal data and pressure you to call back right away. First, compare the incoming number with official United Healthcare contact lists; mismatched prefixes like 844 are a common warning sign. Never share identifying information until you’ve independently verified the caller through official channels such as the insurer’s website or customer service line. Hang up, block the number, and consider reporting the incident to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency. Keeping a log of suspicious calls can also help you spot patterns and protect your identity.
