Catawba County Government issued the following statement:
We’ve been made aware of a texting scam targeting Medicaid recipients. This is what it looks like. The scam pretends to be from your Medicaid Health Plan and falsely claims that your Medicaid benefits have been terminated. It then includes a link to “reapply” — DO NOT CLICK IT.
Here’s what you need to know:Medicaid will NEVER ask you to reapply through a text link.
If you’re unsure about your benefits, contact your local DSS office directly.
Do not share personal information through suspicious texts, emails, or links.
Protect yourself and your family — share this message with others in our community.
