Fraudulent callers have spoofed our phone line. If you have received a phone call in which the caller either hung up without saying anything or asked for information about your medical history and the call appeared to originate from our phone number, please disregard the call. It appears that we have been the target of phone spoofing fraud. Phone spoofing is when someone places a phone call but uses a service to make it appear on Caller ID as though the number actually originated from another number. In this case, the fraudulent caller appears to have robo-called hundreds of cell phones and put our number in the Caller ID.

To be clear, we did not place the phone calls and we do not know who placed the phone calls. This fraud is disturbing and likely illegal under the federal Truth in Caller ID Act. If you continue to receive such calls, please gather as much information as you can and pass it along to us so that we may inform the proper authorities.
