Default Email & Text Scam

I received a text message from Ocala Dermatology and then an email saying I had a balance I needed to make a payment as soon as possible. I called Ocala Dermatology and was told this was a scam. Always check your providers Number, call them directly. Never use the bogus number they provide in the text or email. It's probably a scam. Never click on the links provided.

Hello Larry,

Thank you for letting Ocala Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center serve you.

This is an electronic courtesy message notifying you of a patient balance.

Please make a payment as soon as possible. For your convenience, you can click here to make your payment: https://msg.md/Y3sN8Cn. We may have also sent you a reminder via text message to offer you more options. Please contact us at 352-237-2322 if you have any questions. (This was a Scam Number and Scam Link)

NOTE: Please disregard this message if you have already paid this balance.

Thank you,

Ocala Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center
