Medicare Scam attempt
Just wanted to let all of you know that yesterday about 3:20 PM EST, my phone rang; when I answered it, a female voice said, "This is Medicare, Mrs. (badly messed up last name)"...I asked her "Why does Medicare want to talk to me?" She then hung up. The number she called from is 1-561-331-0838, and that same number has been turned in to Medicare who directed me to call the Federal Trade Commission and make a report...so I did. I was told that whoever this is, she was trying to scam me...so be aware and know that Medicare will NOT call you on the phone: they will either send a letter or may email you...but no calls. I tell you, it's hard to keep up with all the bad stuff they're trying to do these days!!
PS...Mods, if this isn't a good place for this notice, please move to the appropriate area...Thank you!
