If YOU did not iniate the Call, meaning you didnt answer a survery, or fill out a I want more info style card or phone call somewhere, then NEVER EVER EVER give out ANY info. Like DOB or mothers maiden name. Ask that they MAIL you ALL the information that you are speaking about, so that you and your husband have time to go over it IN PERSON with your MD to see if this product is right for you. IF she refuses to mail the information out WITHOUT having ANY numbers from you, then its a scam!
Its ingenious how quickly they can draw people in, and get trust going since talking so compassionatly about being sick, and needing help, and how our company GIVES away at little or no cost to you...
DONT DO IT! Once that number is out there, its too dang hard to get it back.
I caught my hubby once (a jail house Captain) talking on the phone one day to a lady about our credit card (zero balance!) he pulled out his credit card and started to read the number. I almost fainted! I grabbed the phone away from him, and asked this woman WHO ARE YOU?! she was from some company that sells insurance to protect you should your card be stolen. I said NO THANKS and hung up. My hubby was mad till I asked a few basic questions. Did you call her? or did she call you? If she truly represents YOUR CC company she will already have the number, and not need the 3 digit code on the back. She will already have your SS and DOB. He felt so dumb afterwards at how easily she was able to convince him she worked for HIS CC company. We called his CC company and verified that this person DOESNT work for them. We turned in the number from the caller ID.
Scary! you did the right thing. HANG UP!
