Description

Scammers have taken over a phone number that used to host a Washington state vaccine hotline, and state officials say they’re using it to coax banking information from unsuspecting callers.

The Washington State Department of Health said this month it no longer owns the phone number 833-VAX-HELP, or 833-829-4357. In a Facebook post, the agency said people who called the number were asked for personal information, including bank account numbers.
