HOUSTON, Mo. — Texas County Memorial Hospital says residents in the region should be aware of scammers that are placing phone calls that are purported to be from the hospital.
TCMH officials say the scammers are using a tactic called “neighbor spoofing” that falsifies caller ID information in an effort to get potential victims to answer the phone.
People that are suspicious of a phone call supposedly form the hospital are encouraged to hang up on the caller and call the hospital back at their main number that they are familiar with using, or by calling 417-967-3311.
