Phone scams
Quest urges patients to be aware of phone scams as well. If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Quest Diagnostics and ever doubt the legitimacy of the call, especially if payment is demanded, please hang up and contact our customer service directly or call the number listed on your bill.
Quest Diagnostics will never do the following:
- Ask you to pay via cryptocurrency or virtual currencies
- Ask you for passwords over the phone
- Ask for payment or refund via Zelle or Venmo
- Refund overpayments to a gift card for another corporation, such as Target or Amazon, or through another company's app
- Refund via any gift card
- Ask a caller to share their screen or use a screen-sharing app
Employment drug testing scams
Protect yourself from employment drug testing scams. If an employer is requesting upfront payment for drug testing as part of your employment onboarding and hiring process, this is likely a scam. A prepaid card to cover drug testing fees is generally a sign of a fake employment scheme. Employers typically arrange and pay for testing directly. Please use caution and be aware.
