Nevada state officials have issued a warning about a new phone scam where fraudsters impersonate employees of the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Scammers manipulate caller ID and claim that the recipient’s name was used for a prescription in another state, urging them to visit an office or speak with a fake law enforcement officer. These calls aim to extract immediate payment or personal health information. Officials emphasize that the DPBH never makes unsolicited calls regarding personal benefit status or prescriptions. Residents are advised to hang up if they receive suspicious calls and to report any potential victimization to local law enforcement.
