Yesterday afternoon, a surge of automated calls claimed to be from Blue Shield of California, urging recipients to call back a 855‑919‑0653 number for urgent health‑care appointments. The voice prompts sound generic and the callback number is frequently spoofed, a hallmark of telephone scams. Callers often try to harvest personal data or press a button to confirm identity, which can be used for fraud. Hang up immediately, never provide credit‑card or SSN information, and verify any request by contacting the insurer directly through official channels. Report the number to the FCC and consider a call‑blocking service.
