Baptist Health Paducah has recently learned that several people in the area have received phone calls from someone pretending to represent the hospital and asking for money.
The hospital and Baptist Health Foundation Paducah never solicit funds over the telephone. The phone calls are most likely part of a spoofing scam. Caller ID spoofing allows robo-callers and scammers to seem as if they are calling you from a local number.
Baptist Health advises the community to be cautious when receiving calls from anyone who claims to represent the hospital and asks for donations. Never give out important financial information over the phone.
