American Board of Radiology warns of phone scam targeting test takers
The American Board of Radiology is warning physicians of an ongoing telephone scam targeting its test takers.
ABR said the imposter has identified herself as “Pam” and asked diplomates to pay a fee over the phone.
“This is a fraud; the person calling is not affiliated with the ABR,” the Tucson, Arizona-based doc certification group said in an alert posted Wednesday, March 10. “Billing statements are posted on diplomates’ myABR accounts and payment information is never collected over the phone by ABR representatives,” it added.
The American Board of Radiology urged anyone with questions or concerns about this (or any other) matter to call its service managers at 520-790-2900 or email information@theabr.org.
