received call from this number and it was an automessage from Kaiser

But is it real? Got the same call today, phone said Scam Likely

Called but didn't leave a voicemail.

I assume this must be valid. Knew my name and number and that I was a Kaiser member.  Unless someone has hacked the Kaiser computers.

So what did they want? And if you knew who called, why did you come to a phone number look-up site?

I came here for the same reason you did - to see if it is legitimate.  It's an automated call directing you to call a toll free number.  It's still uncertain whether it is legit or not.

I am not a part of Kaiser. I imagine it's a scam...

This to me seems like a scam. When I answered The automated voice said that they were kiaser calling for (and then my name) but when I talked to them, They said they were providence. When I caught them in this lie, I asked what they were collecting for, they said radiology for $142. Now my kids have been seen at providence, but my thing is, why would the automated system say they were with Kaiser but the lady tell me they are with providence. Makes no sense!

Never call back a suspicious number they leave on your voice mail, even if they seem to know your name. Only call Kaiser's official number. And never give any caller your social security number, even if they know your name. If your real insurance company or bank calls you, they're never going to ask for your social security number, credit card number, etc. Hang up, and call the official number.

Caller ID said "Kaiser Perm" but I ignored it. The suspicious thing is how long the ringing lasted. I was able to open this page and read half the messages here before it stopped ringing. At that point I knew not to answer.

Not sure why Kaiser would be calling from an Oakland number I don't leave in Oakland and they left no message but I called the number back from a blocked line, it said Kaiser  when it answered but then again who knows these days

Had kaiser spot today.  It’s legit

And you came here to tell us that?  That you looked up a "legit" call on a website that deals with scams?  Hummmmm......   I got the feeling you are shilling in a shill infested thread.

This is a legitimate Kaiser call for new members.  They don't ask for your SSN or any other information that would steal your identity.

Recently sign up for insurance with Kaiser and got this call so sure it could be fake but why would I suddenly get a call from Kaiser immediately after signing up and does asking this common-sense question make me some sort of shill?

I mean...I'm assuming he did the same thing I did. Didn't recognize the number, Googled it, saw that it was Kaiser, answered it, then came to this thread to possibly give info. Confirming that a number is legit doesn't make someone a shill...

just received this call today February 27, 2020 at around 5:34 PM.
How would I know that this is not a spam call? I get spam calls of fake PG&E calls, fake IRS calls, fake Social Security calls and so on and so forth.
Is Kaiser Permanente indeed such detached from reality ignorance folks that they could not come up with a better idea than that?
DUH!?

Scam. Expecting an answer on an issue and called the number back, which is a real Kaiser number.  They checked and said no one had called me.  So i presume somehow, someone, knows i communicated on the Kaiser website THAT DAY.  I Repeat - scam.  EFF 'em.

Voicemail saying it was Kaiser, and left a message about my son who hasn't been a member for at least 6 years. I suspect scam.

I got a voicemail, said they were Kaiser. I called back at the number they asked (which is different than the call-from number)... the call-back tone is NOT the same as Kaiser's other lines, the questions asked were to confirm my name, and answer Yes/No if I had any chronic conditions... A representative actually got on the phone, saying she was looking at my "chart"... it felt fishy, which is why I resorted to Google. I don't think it's real.
