LICENSE “INVESTIGATION” SCAM ALERT

Wyoming physicians and physician assistants have been receiving scam

calls from an individual claiming to be with the “investigation unit” of the

Wyoming Board of Medicine. Sometimes the caller uses the name “Brian

Clark.” The caller ID information shows the Board of Medicine’s phone

number – 307-778-7053 – but this is “spoofed,” as the call is not really

from the Board, and there is no one named “Brian Clark” associated with

the Board in any way, shape or form.

The caller claims that the physician or physician assistant is under a

“confidential” investigation, and that illegal activities have been occurring.

The caller threatens action against the licensee’s license, along with publicly

exposing the alleged illegal conduct in the media. If staff members do not

immediately put the physician or PA on the line, he becomes very

aggressive. He claims that only one or two people at the Board of Medicine

office know about the investigation, so if the licensee contacts the Board

office directly, staff will not know anything about it.

These calls are a complete scam. If you or your staff receive a call like

this, please get the caller’s name, then call the Board of Medicine office at

307-778-7053. We will verify whether the caller is, in fact, affiliated with

the Wyoming Board of Medicine. In the highly unlikely situation that the

licensee is truly “under investigation” by the real Board of Medicine, we

will confirm that to the licensee.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Board of Medicine

office at 307-778-7053.
