Scam of the Week

Medicare Enrollment Scam

Scammers impersonating Medicare representatives are calling seniors during open enrollment periods, pressuring them to share their Social Security number, Medicare number, or banking details. They claim your coverage will be canceled if you don't comply. Remember: Medicare will NEVER call you unsolicited to ask for personal information. If someone calls claiming to be from Medicare, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE directly.
