The scammer called my step dad who is 69 pretending they were Medicare. They requested his Medicare number and he gave it to them before he realized it was a scam.

Called from or was using 480 872-9444 . Said he was calling from Medicare & wanted to know the last time I went to the Dr, when I asked him why he needed that information because if he WAS Medicare he would have that information. Sounded like he was from India. He started yelling at me so I hung up!

Phone # on caller ID showed as V416110242000235188 AND 641-472-6785. Call was an automated system stating "can you hear me?" "My name is Abby the updated Medicare benefits have been announced..." "We can find you the best deals from 18 companies..." I am not eligible for Medicare & indicated this when prompted every time they've called and it has been repeatedly from various numbers.

Caller asked if I had received my new Medicare card. I sensed it was a scam. Unfortunately, I answered yes & hung up. I felt it was a scam & they were calling trying to have me provide information.

I called Medicare & they said they never make phone calls. I didn't give any information but worry they might have recorded my voice. Hope this information is helpful to prevent other situations for the public.

The caller claimed to work with Medicare. They were to deliver a package with back and knee braces, covered by Medicare part B.

I asked the name of the company and researched them. Care Plus Supplies Corp, in New York - foreign owned. The number they called from was local (757)909-0931. When they asked for personal info, which I did not share, I told them I would call my Medicare rep to see who authorized this "free" shipment. They insisted it was a benefit and no one had to authorize it. Then the line went dead.

Call from "Medicare Shipping Department." Wanted to offer me knee or back brace. I told the heavily accented caller Medicare does not call people, cussed him out and hung up. I lost nothing other than time.

I received a phone call and they didn't state who they were, just said "Medicare needs" and just asked right away about my medicare card. Asked me to go get my medicare card and give me the date on it. I asked the caller if they were working for the US government and then they hung up. I've had two of these this year. I'm elderly but they didn't even say who they were and wanted information from my medicare card that is unusual.

Told me my new Medicare card would be mailed every 4 years but i don't remember giving him my medicare number so now a back brace came in the mail that i nor my doctor ***** ********, E*******, D***** MN ordered. My doctor has other scam orders on her record. Mine was Service Dates 10/30/2023 to 10/30/2023

Claim Type DME

Provider BLUEGRASS DME

Claim Number ************** Medicare-approved amount $1,012.84

Medicare paid $794.06

You may be billed $202.57

I am not paying 202.57, that's for sure

And for those who get scammed by tv ads, why does the USA even allow such ads on TV when the level of crime is so enormous? Seems like this scamming is being encouraged. Still goes on after all these years.

I received a phone call saying I was to receive a brace that would help relieve my buttock and hamstring pain. The person sounded Asian and asked repeated questions and I answered several times with the word YES but then remembered I had heard of this scam so tried to avoid doing so after that. He then said he was transferring me to the shipping department and I should expect a call. When the next call came it appeared to be from my PCP whose name I had given him but in fact was another Asian person who started over with similar questions so I decided to hang up

I recieved a call and the woman stated she worked with Medicare and she asked me if I had any questions about Medicare.  I did, so I told her yes and asked when I needed to re-apply.  I think she just wanted to record me saying yes.  It was a very short call.

I recieved a call from Taylor L. who claimed to work for Medicare.  He was very pushy and rude.  He told me Medicare was going to send me a new Medicare Card and asked me for my social security number and Medicare card number.  I refused to give him this information. I could hear a lot of other people talking in the background and phones ringing.

I wanted to report a scam call I received. I answered a call on my cell phone yesterday at 9:50 A.M. My caller ID showed phone number 440-707-4613. It was a live person. The caller stated they were from Medicare. Wanted to know if I got my new Medicare card. I replied no. I already have my card. I think they said something like sorry they were supposed to have gone out about two weeks ago. They gave my mailing address. I confirmed my mailing address was correct. I felt uncomfortable about the call and hung up. I think if I stayed on the line they would have asked personal information. Normally I don't answer. I could not see who was calling. Then I was watching Good Morning America today. They talked about scam calls and not to say yes. Trying to use yes reply for things. I did not call the number back.

Received a call indicating a new Medicare Card was being issued that had to be laminated. They wanted the number off the old card for the new card. I refused. Confirmed with Medicare that Medicare is not doing that.
