Very persistent telephone calls by two separate individuals -- initial caller, then a "supervisor," attempting to get information from me in order to send out a lower back brace -- supposedly qualified to receive one every five years from Medicare. I assume there is a scam in there somewhere.

He claimed he was calling to verify information on someone and had all the information wrong. When asked who he worked for he said he worked for the Medicare department. I then asked that if he worked for Medicare then how is it that all of his information was incorrect? He responded by saying sorry for wasting your time and hung up in my face.

Call from man that claims to be from medicare. Wants me to verify my information. He wants me to verify my name, address, birthdate, and last four of my social security number. Unfortunately he already has all of this information and its correct. Of course I don't verify any of it but its scary that he has it.

(They called in Spanish from Dulzura, CA) The person who called claimed they were from Medicare and they asked for my mom. They claimed that mom was a winner of medical braces that would be covered by Medicare. The person asked her to confirm her name, date of birth, Medicare number, weight and height (without ever providing the information themselves).

I recieved a text intended for my mother. It read:

"Medicare: (Name in all capital letters), This is Your Last Chance to Enroll in Medicare Coverage. Plans for $0/Month are Available in OR. Call 844-458-0571 or text STOP."

Clearly it was not Medicare.

Dave Anderson from Medicare called to offer me a back brace; he verified my doctor's name and i confirmed my birthday and last 4 digits of my SSN. At that moment, I didn't feel right about giving him my information. I realize that it sounds more like a phishing scam.

I have been called 3 times saying it was Medicare, asking many questions including my health insurance number which I did not give. I was suspicious because Medicare and my insurance have all that information so I told him I didn't have my number available. He is suppose to call back this afternoon to get it. He talked to my husband yesterday and said he could get free pain ointment through Medicare for us and just needed my Freedom Health number.

I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL ON MY LANDLINE. MY CALLER ID SHOWED "MEDICARE" AND I ANSWERED THE CALL. THE CALLER IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS A MEDICARE REPRESENTATIVE AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO ME (USED MY CORRECT FULL NAME). HE THEN BEGAN TO ASK ME QUESTIONS. I IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP. I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS DURING THE PAST MONTH WITH MY CALLER ID RECORDING THEM AS FROM MEDICARE AND/OR HEALTH COUNCIL.

We received a call saying my dad was receiving a new Medicare aid card. We gave out his card number (stupidly) then realized it was a scam and hung up. No financial information was given. Thankfully, no money was lost. Scary though.

I am visiting my elderly father. A man called, claiming to be representing Medicare. He said that they would be sending an elastic back brace. I said he didn't need one. He insisted. I told him to contact us in writing, not by phone, that I needed to verify his identity. He became kind of "huffy," stating that "this is Medicare, the United States government! We are not asking you for any information! These calls are all monitored for quality and..." He also said that they had sent 2 letters and had not heard back, that they have found that "70% of Medicare recipients" do not respond to these letters, so they call people. He said that they would send the brace in 5-7 business days. If it comes, I will send it back. I am letting you know about this because I think that the Medicare fraud people are getting more aggressive. A lot of older adults (and probably younger) would probably fall for this one.
