Scammers are once again attempting prey on the retired of our nation with a new name brand twist, they are posing as Medicare representatives whose real agenda is to steal personal information.
The caller ID shows the number of 866-234-2255. If you call the number you will hear a recording telling you that Medicare scammers are using this number and to report the activity to your local police department to warn the general public.
The scammers ask the person answering the phone for their Medicare information so they can send a new card. This will never happen, but the personal information could be used in ways to harm the unsuspecting retiree who parted with the information.
Never give out personal information to anyone calling you out of the blue for any reason until you have verified on your own the request is legitimate and something you asked for.
After all it is only money…YOURS!
