There are a flood of scammers out there with bad actors trying to obtain your information like Social Security Number (SSN) which appears on the Medicare card with an A or B letter that follows. Scammers want to steal SS numbers for unofficial purposes.
Unsolicited calls; do not give out any information. My Aunt was called today from (405) 493-3194 (spoof call), which doesn't work when you call them. She was about to give out her Red, White & Blue Medicare card # which is the same as her Social Security Number when I interrupted and took over the call. Quickly exposed the person who didn't call back.
Please be aware that anyone asking for SSN # or RWB Medicare Card # are probably up to nothing good. Medicare or Medicaid related calls, check your caller ID. Older adults are not familiar with scammers--check on those who may be venerable to being a victim.
Medicare Fraud Hotline at (800) 633-4227
Social Security Administration Fraud Hotline at (800) 269-0271.
Any Covid-19 or Disaster scam calls, Report to the National Center for Disaster Fraud hotline (866) 720-5721.
