(TNS) —The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a warning urging people not to fall victim to a new phishing scam.

This past May, the FBI issued a similar warning, urging people to disregard messages about receiving discounted medical insurance offers. Now, the FBI has put out a warning about “criminals impersonating legitimate health insurers and their investigative team members.”

The public service announcement details that these cybercriminals are sending emails and texts to medical patients, posing as healthcare providers.

Their main goal? To get people to give them their financial or health information by convincing them they will receive reimbursement for medical services or “non-covered services.”

The FBI has issued a few tips on how to lessen the chance you will be a victim of this phishing scam:

• Be cautious of unsolicited messages, emails, texts, and calls asking for personal information.
• Avoid clicking on links in suspicious or unexpected emails.
• Use strong passwords and, if available, use Multi-Factor Authentication.
• Keep your device software (cell phone, tablet, laptop, etc) updated and consider installing antivirus software.
• Always contact your health insurance provider directly before sharing sensitive information.
