Yet another wave of Medicare scammers is on the rise. As new Medicare cards will be mailed out, seniors are finding themselves susceptible to phone scammers who are calling and identifying themselves as representatives from Medicare.
Callers are requesting payment for the new Medicare cards that are absolutely FREE. Please advise your Medicare-aged and eligible clients to be wary of such scams and not to give out private information about themselves. Medicare will correspond only via mail. To report a scam, please use the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker, contact Medicare.gov directly at 800-MEDICARE or report the scam or fraud at Medicare Fraud Reporting.
