Plymouth Borough has been made aware of a phone scam targeting local residents. Callers claiming to be from a pharmacy are contacting individuals and asking them to verify prescriptions, as well as provide Medicare, insurance, and other personal information.

Please be advised:

• Do NOT share any personal, medical, or financial information over the phone unless you are 100% certain of the caller’s identity.
• Legitimate pharmacies will not ask for sensitive information out of the blue.
• If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and report it.

To protect yourself:

• Never give out your Medicare number or insurance details to unsolicited callers.
• Verify any calls by contacting your pharmacy directly using the phone number on your prescription bottle or their official website.
• Report scams to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov or call 1-877-FTC-HELP.

Please share this information with friends and family, especially seniors who may be more vulnerable to these types of scams.
