Phone Scam Names Insurance Co., Seeks Personal Info.

By on February 28, 2013

ANOTHER PHONE SCAM TO REPORT, THIS ONE TARGETING SENIOR CITIZENS. 

AN OLDER BURLINGTON WOMAN REPORTED GETTING A CALL FROM A PERSON WHO SAID THEY WERE WITH HER INSURANCE COMPANY AND NEEDED TO VERIFY SOME PERSONAL INFORMATION SO THEY COULD ISSUE HER A NEW INSURANCE CARD.   IN THIS CASE, THE INTENDED VICTIM WAS SKEPTICAL AND DIDN’T GIVE OUT ANY INFO…BUT IF YOU’RE THE TARGET OF SUCH A CON, CALL YOUR BANK…YOUR CREDIT-CARD COMPANIES…AND THE POLICE, IN THAT ORDER. 

YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE SOUTHEAST IOWA AREA AGENCY ON AGING AT 752-5433.
