WEST CENTRAL OHIO (WLIO) - Local law enforcement is warning the public about scammers targeting people who are changing pharmacies because of the Rite Aid closures.
If you are not sure if this might be a legitimate call, contact the pharmacy you are transferring to either by phone or in person.
According to the Findlay police, scammers are calling people pretending to be another pharmacy, offering to help them transfer their prescriptions, but they are trying to get your personal information to steal your identity.
They will ask for your birth date, social security number, and Medicare number. Police say if you get one of these calls, to decline to answer and hang up. If you are not sure if this might be a legitimate call, contact the pharmacy you are transferring to either by phone or in person.
