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.
“The best part of getting older is knowing exactly who you are — and building the life that fits.”
