A relatively new telephone scam surfaced in Rock Springs recently involving medical devices and appliances. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust Jr. says that several people have reported that a recorded telephone message informs residents that their "medical adviser" has approved a "medical appliance" for them that needs to be delivered.
Blust says the scammers hope their intended victims will believe that their doctor or other health care provider has made arrangements for the device and that they will be willing to pay certain ‘fees’ or other costs.
Blust says the best thing to do is simply hang up. Your doctor is never going to make arrangements for medical services or treatments that you do not know about.
