(KAIR)--Another scam is making it's way across the region, this one targeting Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas customers.
According to the company, the scam is targeting those who made health plan purchases through the federal insurance marketplace.
The scammers are calling their intended targets and claiming to represent either the Marketplace, Medicare, or the insurance company. The would be victims are told their banking, or credit card information is needed in what is an apparent attempt by the scammers to gain access to personal financial accounts.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield says it does not call customers and ask for such information, with anyone who receives such a call to simply hang up immediately.
The company encourages anyone who receives such a call to report it to 1-877-FTC-HELP.
