SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - On the heels of the Anthem Insurance data breach, affecting as many as 80 million Americans, scammers are sending victims fake emails.
Jessie Schmidt with the Better Business Bureau says the scammers are phishing in hopes of catching victims off guard. Whether you are an Anthem customer or not, do not click on links or open attachments in emails claiming to be from Anthem.
Schmidt says past or present Anthem customers should go to anthem.com directly and click on the "Learn More" button.
Schmidt advises placing a free fraud alert on your credit reports. Contact one of the three major credit bureaus; once you add a fraud alert to one, that company will alert the other two.
