This year, it has been worse than ever for my phone number: I receive at least three calls a week from supposedly independent health insurance brokers, each time from a different (alleged) Swiss number. Today, out of curiosity, I stayed on the line longer than usual. They know my current health insurance contract, my second name, my e-mail and my adress. They wanted to send someone to my home in two days to convince me to switch my health insurance plan What I don’t understand is what would happen next. Cold calling by health insurance brokers has been prohibited in Switzerland since 2024, wasn’t it? Do legitimate Swiss health insurers actually accept customers and pay commissions even when they were acquired through illegal sales calls? Or is this ultimately about collecting more personal data, or some other kind of scam? Does anyone have any insight into how this business model works or has anyone ever agreed to one of these appointments? Thanks submitted by /u/RiggyBiggy
