Recent call logs show a surge of inbound messages from 844‑873‑8179 claiming to represent BCBS. Most complainants describe unsolicited home‑visit offers, pressure to confirm personal details, and later discover the service doesn’t exist. This pattern matches a classic health‑insurance phishing scheme where scammers spoof a reputable brand to harvest data. If you receive such a call, hang up, do not share address or SSN, and contact your actual insurer using a verified number. Block the caller in your phone, report the incident to the FTC and your state consumer protection office, and consider adding the number to a spam‑filter list. Staying skeptical and verifying independently is the safest defense.
Today, June 26, 2019, I received a call from 844-873-8179, which I didn't answer, but a voicemail was left claiming to be from BCBS regarding a valuable service for members, likely related to their home visit service.
