888-279-2148

Wanted to send me free diabetes supplies.

Left a message about medical supplies we ordered. We haven't ordered any.

the person that called about sending my diabetic supplies

Stated that they were calling for United Healthcare Insurance and wanted to send me a free glucose meter.

Allegedly health company phone called to provide medical equipment for diabetes monitor supplies. Asked few questions about health condition and mailing, physical address and last four digits of social security, then conversation was cutoff.

So you just gave some unknown caller your personal information?! Why would you do that?

1st call came in w/local number for my area had a name of Misty *****. So I answered, then a woman with a foreign accent was on the line. She had my last name, zipcode and cell number. However, wanted me to confirm my first name, which I did not give. She kept calling me Mrs. So and So. Then, again wanted me to confirm my husband whom is a diabetic, how he spells his name. She's with the Ins. company and he gets a free BS Monitor. I replied, how do you have it spelled on his paperwork. She replied, he submitted a request via internet request. I replied again, how do you have it on file as being spelled. She couldn't give me an answer. I hung up.... Then, 5pm, I get another call from the # 888-279-2148 saying the same thing...Confirm my info, blah, blah, blah...I advised them to call back later. He hung up. Reason being I wanted to speak w/Hubby post work to see if he had inquired online. Nope! So, next morning, 9:15am Ring Ring,...I didn't answer. Let it stop ringing...Blocked it then went back and blocked the name of Misty!.. Thank goodness for those of you leaving a review about this number!!

I keep getting calls from this number even after I blocked it. The one time I accidentally answered some Asian sounding guy says something about a diabetes test and equipment. I don’t even have diabetes!? I also got a voicemail about equipment that was approved by my insurance! This is after I blocked the number. Apparently they are able to get through. 🤬

Blocking conveys no message and does not prevent them from making phone calls.  I'm surprised that you would think otherwise.

I want to add to my previous post, these calls didn’t start coming in until after I had bloodwork sent to LabCorp. A diabetes test was performed after had I requested it (which turned out to be negative). I think somehow the scammer is getting personal info from LabCorp.

Then where did they get the information from when they call all the other people who never went to a lab to get a diabetes test?

BigA (I can only imagine what the A stands for), yes, apparently I’m clueless about blocking calls. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for the heads up.

Amazing, Astounding, Awesome, need I go on?

Diabetic matter

Is it scam

Wanted to send me CPAP supplies free. I asked what company he was with and he said they were contracted with.....and I hung up

Called on behalf of my Healthcare company to send me a free glucose monitor.  Had my name phone #. Did not ask for address, SS# or anything said someone else would call from my insurance company to verify.
