Tips to know if its a scam
-
Did they state who they are and where they are calling from? Anyone calling from Franklin County Memorial Hospital or Pool Medical Clinic will state who they are, where they are calling from and why they are calling.
-
Are they asking for personal information, such as social security number or insurance information? No one from FCMH will ask for personal information without stating why the information is needed.
If you suspect that the person on the line is a scam, please hang up and call back. Don't give out your person information unless you know exactly what it is for and who your giving it to. Scams can use any number and can trick you into thinking your speaking with anyone.
