This is NOT SPAM. It is a lab in Illinois that sends you the Cologuard kit ordered by your physician. In order to receive the kit you must respond to the automated system to verify you are the individual to which the kit is to be mailed as well as explain the sample collection and returning it to the lab.
It is legit. I received a kit from them to take in place of a colonoscopy. My doctor requested it for me. It's not a scam.
Yes regarding a test my doctor did order. Legit call
Real lab
caller ID: Franklin Par IL
This is a legitimate call from the laboratory that makes Cologuard, the colon cancer test kit. If you have recently had a physical and are to be sent a colon cancer screening test (the new one that works with DNA) - you will receive this call. The message will be short and say they are from a lab, which I didn't catch because it was the first thing said, I did catch that it was a lab though. When I had my physical, I requested this particular cancer screening test, because of the commercial on tv. Doctors don't keep them in the office, and said the company would be in contact with me. The recorded call is short and identifies itself as a lab, which I at first thought it would be a survey about the blood test lab I went to, so I answered it. It turns out it was just a short recording from the lab that sends out cologuard test kits, and leaves a number to call back. When you call it back, the recording asks if it's you and if you were aware that a test had been requested for you. On answering yes, it asks if you want to hear instructions about the test. I was a little worried it might be something I'd forget, but said yes and took notes, and it was important info like don't tear up the box it comes in, it's the same one to send back, and other important things like that.
