Phone Scam Alert – Spoofed Call Using Curry Medical Center’s Number

We want to let the community know that someone reported receiving a call that appeared to come from Curry Medical Center (541.412.2000). In the call, the caller tried to sell a medical device.
This was a spoofed call, meaning the caller ID was intentionally faked to look like it came from us.

A quick reminder that CHN, Curry General Hospital, and all of our clinics—including Curry Medical Center—do not call people to sell products, equipment, or medical devices.

The issue has been reported to the FCC and to our telecom vendor for review.

If you receive a call that seems unusual, the safest approach is to avoid engaging, avoid giving any personal information, and avoid answering questions that could be recorded for misuse. If you receive one of these calls, here is the link to file a complaint with the FCC: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=39744

Thank you to the community member who brought this to our attention. Sharing information like this helps protect others in our community.
