Received a call at my office and on my cell phone today separately. When I answered the call at my office, nobody was there. The caller id says it is from 402-220-1100. When googling that number, it only shows Omaha, NE as the location and there is some feedback from others saying it is walgreens auto refill service. This is not the number that usually contacts me for refill and it is strange that it called my office too. I reported this to my local Walgreens pharmacy. The call to my cell did terminate in a message because I didn't answer. It said it is Walgreens refill reminder call, listed MY NAME and proceeded to give call back instructions. I called the 800 number listed (800) 289-1179 and an auto prompt stated it is Walgreens auto refill service. I didn't proceed with the call but it appears to be legitimate, though strange.

Well, the recording they left said Walgreens and I have a prescription coming due for a refill but when I called it back it was some Las Vegas vacation scam recording.

Has anyone else noticed how all of those who are claiming these calls are legitimate calls from Walgreens, that they ALL have misspelled HIPAA? HIPAA is an acronym for Health Information Portability and Accountability Act. Hey, you phishers and scammers!! If you're going to post fake comments about your scam, mix it up a bit!! Making the same, stupid spelling mistake demonstrates that either it's the same person posting these comments, or a group of petty criminals working in a boiler room, using boilerplate scripts as material for their comments. Duh . . .

just got a new cell number today.  got a call from "walgreen's prescription reminder"... problem is the call came in on a bogus number in Omaha (402) 220-1100 but told me to call this 800 # (800-289-1179).  I've never used Walgreen's, there isn't one within 50 miles of my house, but they had my name.  Very fishy.  They've called 3 times today.  I finally called and hit 8 to opt out of their scam.

this is a scam no matter what the previous posts have said.  Scammers have now learned to post "positive" comments.  Ask your local Walgreen's pharmacist.  I don't have any refills and Walgreens does not ask for personal info.

Received a voicemail on a male family member's cell to refill prescriptions for someone named JoAnn.  Do not know anyone named JoAnn and have had this cell number for years.  It asked that she call Walgreens.  Possibly it was a wrong number call, but am suspicious of these types of calls as do not use Walgreens pharmacy refills.  Do buy items at Walgreens because it is convenient, but they started a card  program similar to Sam's Club in our area where you have to present the card to get the sale price or you are charged the full price.  However, gave them my cell # to get the card.  Thought it was neat as you build up points.  Then received a carton of diet soda for free.  Yet on next trip was in a hurry and after arriving home discovered an item that did not purchased of about the same price as the carton of sodas was added on to my receipt.  Will watch my receipts like a hawk from now on!  According to the recent news Walgreens had to pay a fine because of getting people to sign up at their pharmacies by giving them gift cards.  So far no more Walgreens??? calls, but if there are will NOT give them any information.

Copied from Wallgreens website, "Be aware of increasingly common email scams that may use your email address to contact you and ask for personal or sensitive information. Always be cautious when opening links or attachments from unsolicited third parties. Also know that Walgreens will not send you emails asking for your credit card number, social security number, birth date, or any other personally identifiable information. So if ever asked for this information, you can be confident it is not from Walgreens."  'Nuff Said?

I hate this new service. I was called for the first time on a Sunday morning. Is there no decency anymore? I did NOT sign up for this, nor do I need it. It took several tries before I was able to opt out. Good point, I already gave my birthdate to "whoever."

Corporate Walgreens needs to hear from all of us. Perhaps by a class action lawsuit. It's called harrassment when it is not a service you were made aware of, or even asked for. I HATE that fake lady's voice anyway! So sick of her. I can handle my own refills, I have a brain and a Smartphone to scan it in. They prey on unsuspecting seniors who are obedient.

Hello Everyone,

I got a call from 402-220-1100 today and it left a voice message on my cell phone since i did not pick up the call not knowing who this person was. I immediately got a voice message stating this is Walgreens and to call 800-289-1179. I called this 800 number and was told to enter my birthdate. Immedately after entering this, it indicated my perscription name and if i wanted to refill or not. I hit 1 for refill and it stated it will be ready tomorrow. I googled that 402-220-1100 number and came across this board where people were saying good and bad things about this number. I thought i was pretty stupid to just input my birthdate, so I called my local Walgreens pharmacy and did the voice prompt and it stated i had no pending prescription. I got worried and called my Walgreens pharmacy to speak to a pharmacy tech and he stated that my prescription is ready for tomorrow and this number is a legitimate call. Walgreens is participating in a new service called Prescription Reminders. Here is a link to the Walgreens page for proof.  https://www.walgreens.com/topic/s/prescription-refill-reminders.jsp

Here is an excerpt on that page:

*Our refill reminder service now includes automated phone calls just a few days before your refill is due. Your call will come from either 402-220-1100 or 402-220-1106. Enter your date of birth to ensure your privacy and respond by choosing yes or no to refill. Your refills will be ready for you the following day at your local Walgreens, it's that easy. This free service is available to you if you have chosen to not receive email or text prescription refill reminders.

I remember that when i got a new cell phone and number, I chose not to receive email or text prescription refill reminders. This is why I got the call from 402-220-1100.


Now i feel much better with piece of mind. If you do not feel comfortable dialing the 800 number, then just call your pharmacy for the refill.

Thanks,
RP

I got this call two days in a row and have no current prescriptions to be filled or refilled at Walgreens or anywhere else.  I saved the message and will be taking it to Walgreens for the pharmacist to listen to.  I will report after I do this.

THIS IS A PROVEN TO BE SCAM OPERATION AND A SCAM NUMBER.  WALGREENS DO NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF 800 NUMBER AS PER A WALGREEN PHARMACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST AND  THE SCAMMERS STOP CALLING. AT LEAST IT WORKED FOR ME.

This service is alarming, especially when they have not alerted their customers of this change (like on a receipt). I opted out. With the issues we have with identity theft, this is not a wise idea. To each its own. If you like this type of technology, more power to you!

many are saying it is Walgreen's seeking to refill prescriptions.  i didn't answer it, as i do not answer numbers i do not recognize, but type them into yahoo and try to find out who was calling.  anyway, i do not get my prescriptions through Walgreen's, so why would they be calling me?  could be a scam.  legit or otherwise, i'm not answering.

I only get this call when I'm almost out of my prescription. I don't answer the call, but they usually leave a voicemail on the second attempt. I don't use the service to refill, so I'm not giving any info out over the phone. I just consider it a prompt reminder for me to go refill my prescription.
