Medical Scam

There is another warning out today about a medical scam. If you receive a phone call from a company saying you are qualified for free diabetic testing materials this is a scam. They will specifically ask you for your Social Security number and doctors name under no circumstances should you give this information no matter what they say. These are just low life scammers trying to steal your identity.

You may also receive phone calls from people saying they are Medicare representatives trying to enroll you in a drug prescription program. These also are scammers. Medicare will not call you and ask for any personal information so never give out any over the phone.

If you receive any phone calls like this it is generally someone even in another country trying to steal your identity or your medical identity to obtain free medical benefits in your name. Do not even engaged these people in any type of conversation hang up the phone. You must be aware that there are many unscrupulous scammers in this world. It is very easy to defeat them by hanging up the phone in their ear. Take care and have a wonderful day.
