They ask for personal details about your trip or vaccination status that the real department should already have from official entry screenings. They use this information to steal your identity or commit medical fraud. Government health agencies do not call asking for information they already collected through official travel forms.
"Claimed to be with the Puerto Rico department of health. Asked questions that should have already been known with entry covid screening. Asked personal questions about length of stay."
You answer the phone and immediately hear a recording say "the line is busy" before the call disconnects. This is not a technical problem. Spammers use this tactic to confirm your number is active and answered by a real person. They add verified numbers to lists sold to other scammers for future fraud calls. Real callers with technical issues do not have pre-recorded messages ready.
"Cogí la llamada pero no hable. Una grabadora dijo 'the line is busy'. Bloquie el número."
