Tricare officials are warning beneficiaries of a bogus health survey circulating the Internet that is asking for personal, demographic and medical information.
A company based in Chicago, using the name Indoscope Records, is allegedly responsible for the survey. Tricare can’t verify what the data would be used for.
Officials said the survey purports to be from Tricare, but it’s a misrepresentation. It’s designed to trick beneficiaries under the guise of either a Tricare or Healthnet survey, they said.
Experts warn people should use caution any time a request is made for personal information.
Anyone who has submitted personal data to the phony Tricare survey — or any organization that may use personal information for negative reasons — should contact local authorities. Economic experts also recommend contacting the credit bureaus to protect against identity theft and other financial crimes.
