Received a call from a man with a mid-Eastern accent saying he was calling from Medicare to see if I had received my new card. There was a lot of "call center" type noise in the background. I asked if I could call back and he gave me the same number he had called in on, said his ID # was MC5521 and his name was Moses McDaniel. I checked the number on whitepages and its says it's scam. This need to be brought to the public's attention. I'm not sure what they are asking for, but someone is going to think it's legit and give out information they shouldn't!

This week we received 2 phone calls from someone with a heavy Indian or Pakistani accent claiming to be from Medicare and asking if I had received my new Medicare card. They asked for me by name, so probably already knew I am of the right age to be on Medicare. The scam is that if one says the new card has not come, they just need to know my social security number and date of birth to send a new card right away.

My partner has answered the phone on both of these calls and simply strings the caller along until the scammer hangs up. But I think this scam needs some publicity.

guy with Middle eastern accent called with lots of "call center-like" noise in the background. He told me he's from medicare and trying to update my information for 2019 benefits. Asked me the best number to reach me and named the number he had just dialed. He did not know my name. He told me I lived in WI, and asked if that was correct. I told him I wasn't going to answer that. I asked him why he was calling and he said he needed to send me an EOB for 2019 healthcare. He then asked me who my primary Dr was. I didn't answer, and then he asked if I had seen my Dr in 1 month or 2 months ago, I said I didn't know. He then asked me who my Dr and what facility it was, to which I responded that I did not need to disclose that information. He then hung up on me.

Wierd call. Asked for new and old Medicare card numbers, which I stupidly gave her. Wanted to send me a free back brace from Medicare for prevention of lower back pain. Said another caller would follow up within 1/2 hour to send the back brace at no cost to me. Wanted to know my pain level between 7 and 9. I told her sorry I just don’t have that much pain.

Phone: 1-800-Medicare
Country: United States
Type of a scam: Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Caller ID said 1-800-MEDICARE. Woman asked for me by name and asked if my address was (then she gave my address). She asked if I had received my new Medicare card. I said yes. She said she was calling to update my coverage, that the call was being recorded, then asked some health questions (if I had diabetes, high blood pressure, height, weight). Then she asked my waist measurement. When I questioned why she was asking, she repeated that my information had to be updated. I told her I was concerned that I was being scammed. She offered to give me her license number. I told her I was feeling uncomfortable and that I was going to hang up, and I did. She immediately called back and said my Medicare was going to be canceled. I hung up again and called Medicare. The agent said no one had called me from there, and that they would never ask for that information over the phone.

A gentleman with a foreign accent called to renew my insurance (never had Medicare). He claimed that his name was “Mark” and that was a big red flag for me. I was told that I should have a Medicare card and that it was red, white, and blue. I looked up Medicare scams while I was on the line and Snopes confirmed my suspicion. Luckily nothing was lost.

For the past week, I have been receiving calls from someone claiming to be with Medicare. Which I found a red flag already because Medicare does not call me unless I call to request something back. She said she was calling about insurance for my knee problems. I told her that I knew they were not Medicare, and to verify herself she said my full name and address. But the address she gave me was one from eight years ago, so then I was positive she was a scammer. I told her this and she hung up.

This phone number called as a ROBO call and every time it's a different ploy. Medicare benefits, condos, trips. Always from the same number with different male voices and names. I have tried blocking the number and it bypasses the block. The call at least 6 times a day if not more. This has been going on for about three months non stop.
