FRAUD ALERT: EBT Texting and Phone Scam

We have received reports of scam text messages and phone calls targeting EBT cardholders. Scammers are posing as representatives from EBT customer service, the Department of Social Services, or other government agencies.

They may claim:
· The EBT card has been locked or suspended
· There is suspicious activity on your account
· You must “verify” your card number or PIN immediately
· You must click a link to avoid losing benefits

These messages and calls are fraudulent..

The legitimate Virginia EBT Call Center is 866-281-2448. Customers should be strongly encouraged to create and use ConnectEBT to keep their card locked and only unlock it to make purchases. Information about how to avoid scams and to use ConnectEBT is found at https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https://www.dss.virginia.gov/benefit/EBTScam/index.cgi___.YzJ1OnBpZWRtb250c2VuaW9ycmVzb3VyY2VzOmM6bzozMmYyNWFlYjMxNTY1MmU2Yjc0Mjg0YzdhM2VmMWFmNTo3OjcxYmU6MTFjNGRlNTgzY2ZlNzJmZjUyMWY0M2UwZjBjNTA0NjA0NmY1OWI1YzU2OGI5NzM2OGQzMmM3MmNmYzQ2NGYxNjp0OkY6Rg

How to Protect Yourself from EBT Scams:
· Do NOT click on links in suspicious text messages
· Do NOT provide your EBT card number or PIN to anyone
· Do NOT call phone numbers provided in suspicious messages
· Only use the official customer service number on the back of your EBT card

If you believe your EBT card information has been compromised:
1. Call the official number on the back of your card immediately
2. Change your PIN right away
3. Report the incident to your local benefits office

If you receive a suspicious message, please report it to your local agency.
Protect your benefits. Stay alert. When in doubt, hang up and call the official number on your card.

Man Pleads in Telemedicine Scheme

Eric Van Vleet, who operated Hype Med LLC, pleaded guilty to conspiring to bill Medicare for medically unnecessary prescriptions. He and his company identified Medicare beneficiaries to target for expensive drugs. Call center employees contacted beneficiaries to pressure them to agree to try expensive medications, such as pain creams, scar creams, eczema creams, migraine medication, and a combination of prescription medications to be used as a “foot soak.” They then sent recordings of calls with the beneficiaries, along with pre-marked prescription pads for particular drugs that would yield exorbitant reimbursements, to telemedicine companies.
