I received a strange call today from a random number from Oakland when I answered the call I was met with an automated voice claiming to be from Kaiser Premanente. However, the message said my name then wanted me to verify if it was me by saying yes or no. My first thought was that this was a potential scam. Has anyone ever gone through or heard of something similar?
Kaiser Permanente is based in Oakland and usually when a call is based on something medical or otherwise solely for a person they ask if you're the person they're calling. So kind of seems legit.
If you don't have their insurance or haven't gone to any of their facilities, I wouldn't call them back or answer that number again.
In my experience with calls related to my prescriptions, someone or a recording will ask if it's me.

The hospital doesnt need your voice to confirm who you are. Its a scam. They want to record your voice so they can access your information. If they want YOU over the phone, It'll be a live person.

call spoofing is very real.

This. One time a scammer called me and spoofed their number to be exactly the same as mine. It was really weird seeing "myself" calling because it showed my contact and everything.
