    BCBS Health Plan Members Be Aware of Increased Fraud Attempts

    Blue Cross Blue Shield has made us aware of an increase in fraud attempts via email, text, and phone calls. This is impacting individuals as "spoofing" attempts, as well as in the filing of fraudulent claims. Spoofing attempts are incidents in which someone impersonates a legitimate corporation in an attempt to gain access to personal information, such as bank account or credit card information. Health plan members are encouraged to remain vigilant to ensure that they do not provide scammers with personal information, and take necessary action should fraudulent claims be filed under their name.
