BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO-AM) Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem is cautioning North Dakota residents that scam artists are taking advantage of a recent data breach at Anthem Inc.
Anthem services the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance networks nationwide. Stenehjem says scam artists are now sending out emails claiming to be from Anthem, offering free credit monitoring for its customers.
Stenehjem says the phony email includes a link to a supposed credit monitoring service and requires a Social Security number to be entered. He says any information entered on the phony website goes straight to the scam artists.
Anthem says it's using regular mail only, not email, to notify people affected by the breach.
