(KNZA)--A telephone scam, utilizing the name of insurance provider United Healthcare, is circulating through the local area.
It's been reported in Brown County where Sheriff John Merchant says the caller is asking to be provided with a 3-way call they falsely claim necessary in order to provide the intended scam victim with savings on prescription drug costs.
Personal healthcare information is then requested, along with financial info.
Merchant says the best bet in dealing with scammers is to simply hang up on them, and provide no information.
If you believe you've fallen victim, contact your local law enforcement.
