RI Pharmacy Colleagues,
There is a verified ongoing scam coming from someone portraying to be the RI Department of Health targeting pharmacists.

The call is coming from the same number as RIDOH (401-222-5960).

Please do NOT provide any information or engage with this number. Any calls are recommended to go to voicemail.

RIDOH is aware of this scam and plans to send out communication.

Thank you to all who reported this issue.
