🚨 SCAM ALERT – SPOOF CALLS

We have been made aware that scammers are spoofing the West Texas Bariatrics and Swat Surgical phone number. If you get a call asking for payment from another other number other than 806-799-7928 or 806-771-2222! Hang up immediately!

What You Need to Know:
🔹 Do NOT provide personal information or payment.
🔹 If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.

What is Call Spoofing?
Call spoofing occurs when a caller deliberately falsifies the information displayed on your caller ID to disguise their identity. Scammers often use this tactic to make it appear as though they are calling from a local number, a known company, or a government agency.

We are working with our IT department to attempt to identify and stop these criminals.
