I just spoke to CVS specialty care by calling their correct phone number. listed on this web site. they DO NOT ASK for your birth date on a recorded message. This is not legit calls originating from this phone number (866) 249-1556 (DO NOT PUNCH IN YOUR PHONE NUMBER)

The number 866-249-1556 is CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy. It is a legitimate company that specializes in managing prescription drug plans for some insurance companies.

This is a scam. I got a call from this number when a person, not an automated machine, specifically requested me by name. They said the line was being recorded for security purposes and they needed to verify my phone number, name, and date of birth. To prove this was a scam, I explained that they already had my phone number (they called me) and my name (they asked specifically for me). No real pharmacy does this. This is called phishing. Do yourselves a favor and do not answer any questions. These spammers are only trying to trick you into revealing sensitive and private information. Don't fall for it! If you think it might be a real call, end the call and call YOUR specific pharmacy.
an automated system called from this number claiming to be CVS pharmacy with important information, and then requested my full date of birth. How can I know this was actually CVS and not a phishing scam of some sort? I don't use CVS pharmacy but did many years ago.
