Received a call from+1 (833) 784-1940. They claim to be Aetna stating they had important information about my account. They provided a seven digit code which I was to use to access the information. I did not. Instead, I signed into my Aetna account, and saw that there were no issues. I see that there was a “ fraud “ notification posted here in 2025. This is still occurring.

Recieved a voicemail pretending to be Aetna. The message included my full name, which makes me suspect Aetna has been hacked. I did not call back. The message said "On behalf of your health plan this is Aetna calling >my full name< with an important health reminder. Please call us toll free at 1-833-7841940 and enter the seven digit pin ####### so we know its you. Again the number is one eight three three seven eight four one nine four zero and your seven digit PIN is # # # # # # #. If you call from the same number we left this message you wont need your pin. If we dont hear from you soon we'll try again. Thank you, Goodbye." [BBB Scam Type: Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare] [Business: Aetna Spoof] [Location: NJ, USA- 08822]

Multiple messages received stating the exact same message. Said to call 8337841940 and to use a 7 digit pin # - 1, 0, 5, 0, 4, 7, 6. They stated my name, but only said they were calling on behalf of my health plan, said her name was Edna. I’ve received 4 calls with the exact same message. I blocked the #, and won’t answer their calls. [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Unknown] [Location: PA, USA- 18014]

I received a call from 833-784-1940 and they left a voicemail stating it was Aetna and they need to speak to me regarding my health. They stated to call the above number and left a pin number to use but if I called with the phone they left the voicemail then I wouldn’t need that pin number.

I received repeated calls from the number 833-784-1940. I don't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers. Each time they called, they left a voicemail message saying they were calling on behalf of my health plan, Aetna, with an important health reminder. They asked me to return the call and provide a PIN so they would know it was me; but if I called from the same number at which they left the message, they would not need the PIN. Of course this all sounded suspicious and scammy to me, so I have not called back. They've called me three times in the last week, all from the same number.

I received a phone call from +1 (833) 784-1940 and voicemail from an automated recording pretending to be Aetna requesting I call the number back about important information regarding my account. Unfortunately I did call the number back and provided it with my DOB and Zip Code when they asked for that information for “verification” that it was me. After providing the zip code it said my info didn’t match their records and the call ended. [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Unknown] [Location: VA, USA- 22180]
