Phone Scammers target Providence Home Health Data Theft Victims

They are trying to capitalize on the earlier theft of medical and financial records of 365,000 customers from an employee’s van. According to Providence Home Health Services, the scammers are not tied to that crime and don’t have the numbers. Instead, they ask for personal information so they can “verify” the stolen data.
