Got a call from someone claiming to represent "Medco Pharmacy." She had a heavy accent and sounded distant. The supposed "Medco" rep left a message asking me to call the number 877-842-5033, though caller ID said it originated from 201-891-1029. Unfortunately, I was walking in the door when she was leaving the message and didn't hear what it was about; I answered before she hung up and...well, I was a total idiot and answered her request for my wife's birthdate without thinking. And here I thought I was smart enough to avoid these scams, UGH. The rep asked for my wife by name, and was very convincing. BEWARE. Medco doesn't call, they send email/mail. Hopefully they will just use that information for marketing purposes, but I'll be watching my bank statements anyway.
