Free Diabetes Supplies Scam? What to Watch For!
Summary — +18882792148
Expert Opinion
Block the number, but also protect your data by never confirming personal details over the phone. Scammers posing as free diabetes‑supply providers often have exact address and insurance info, which they obtain from lab or retail leaks. Hang up immediately if the caller asks for your SSN, DOB, or insurance ID, and report the call to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑blocking service. Use a reputable call‑blocking app and add the number to your phone’s block list. Keep a written log of each call, then share it with local consumer‑protection agencies. Staying silent and documenting the attempt are your best defenses.

She addressed me as 'Mrs.' and inquired about my husband's name, claiming he was eligible for a free monitor due to his diabetes. When I questioned her about the spelling of his name, she couldn't provide a clear answer. I ended the call and subsequently blocked the number.
