Updated: Medical Group of the North Shore's Patient Contact Info Possibly Compromised

The Medical Group of the North Shore (located at 1625 Sheridan Ct.) reported to Wilmette Police that their patient contact information may have been compromised, Wilmette Police reports state.

The police report states that an officer met with the Medical Grouop's receptionist, who said that all of the patient's info may have been compromised. She said that the office received two calls about money they allegedly owed. The patients said that they received a call from a collection agency that allegedly represents that Medical Group to seek payment. The patients called the Medical Group, who found that they did not owe any money. The calls from the collection agency are fraudulent and the Medical Group of the North Shore doesn't use a collection agency.

The Medical Group of the North Shore will attempt to transfer info to possibly affected patients. Anyone who believes that they have been contacted by the fraudulent collection agency should contact the Wilmette Police.

At the time of publication, the Medical Group of the North Shore nor the Wilmette Police Department could be reached for comment.
