mrsanniep Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just got a call from a "Dr. Richard's" answering service. The woman said the doctor wanted to talk to me. She then came back on the line and said he was talking to a patient and to wait on the line. I asked what hospital he was from, she said she didn't know. I waited a minute, but no one ever came on the line and I hung up. Caller I.D. said Private Number, Tennessee. I don't know anyone in Tennessee or who is traveling in that area. What kind of scam could this have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I haven't heard of that kind of scam. It could have just been a wrong number, or someone making a prank call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besroma Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have not heard of this. Did you try to Google it? I use Snopes for checking the validity of emails. I wonder if they have things like this on there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsanniep Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I Googled it, but nothing similar came up. I also doubt it was a wrong number. Pretty sure doctors don't call patients/family members via answering services, especially during business hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they were going to ask you for personal information.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
