The BCMC Rural Health Clinic was recently made aware of spam phone calls using "spoofed" phone numbers appearing to be from the clinic. Scammers can make a phone number appear local—or even look like it's from a trusted organization such as the BCMC Rural Health Clinic. Oftentimes, these "spoofed" calls are designed to trick people into sharing personal information or sending money.
✅ Tips to Protect Yourself:
1. Don't trust caller ID alone—numbers can be faked or "spoofed."
2. Never provide passwords, account numbers, or personal information over an unexpected call.
3. Hang up if something feels suspicious.
4. If the caller claims to represent a company or agency, hang up and contact them directly using a phone number from their official website.
🚨 Remember: Legitimate organizations won't pressure you to act immediately or demand payment through gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.
