RIDOH Professional Licensees Should be Aware of Phone Scam
Many RIDOH licensed professionals have been the target of a scam in which people pose as investigators from the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline (BMLD) or the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Callers will falsely state that a license is suspended or under investigation and they will request personal information, like a physician’s NPI number, DEA registration number, and financial information.
The various licensing boards use the email address on file for all correspondence and never request personal information over the telephone.
