I received a piece of mail saying medicare wanted my phone number.

I received a call on 10/10/19 at 5:39pm from 716-343-8952 from a live person. "Hi, this is Kate from Medicare, can you hear me?" I was just in from work and listening to my husband tell me of his numerous phone calls to and from medical providers. When I saw the number I thought it was a doctor's office, picked it up and answered, "Yes" to Kate -- who hung up immediately and I realized I was scammed. I called the number back to make sure and an automated voice said all the agents were busy and to email [email protected]

I then went online and filed an FTC complaint, froze all my credit reports on Experian, Equifax and Transunion. I normally know NOT to answer like this, but they caught me at a vulnerable time and I didn't think. I hope they do not do anything terrible to us. My husband has medical issues and we just don't need this right now.

Can you help?

I am reporting this on behalf of my aging mother. She received 45+ phone calls a day from a variety of different phone #’s saying they are from Medicare and asking for her personal info then wanting to send her free products such as back braces, shoulder harnesses etc. Never from a phone # that receives calls and always a foreign sounding person. We have blocked calls and told them to not call back and put this # on do not call list. This started from a call in February 2019 when they sent her a box of braces and charged Medicare. This is fraud of our US Government Medicare and the thousands of phone calls are making her (us) crazy. What can we do? Who can stop these criminals? I have even personally taken the phone and talked with them yet they continue. Please help!! Going nuts in Washington State.

They will not quit calling, at least 5 to 6 times a day saying they are Medicare and offering braces. They keep changing their phone number and continue to call. This has been happening for over two weeks.

Same as a previously reported scam where a recorded message says "Hello, I'm Nancy, your Medicare advocate" -then something about braces for pain relief and that I am about to be dropped from Medicare's list for this service unless I respond.... Options for pressing 1 to speak to a representative or pressing 9 to be placed on the no call list are offered. These calls come 2 to 3 times a day, every day, over my land line. Caller ID shows a different number each time- too many to enumerate here. I have never answered my phone to these calls/messages; I don't know if they were seeking money or not...

Back and leg brace offered, elderly relative gave out her SSN

- Arnold, MD, USA

For the past several weeks, I have received pre-recorded calls on my cell phone, many times each day.. The woman caller says "THIS IS YOUR FINAL NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT ACT SOON, MEDICARE WILL LABEL YOU INELLIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE. PRESS "1" TO SPEAK WITH ME OR PRESS "9" TO BE PUT ON DO NOT CALL LIST". Because I do not answer calls from numbers I do not recognize, a voicemail message is always left. The area of the calls is my area code.

Identified himself as Medicare, wanting to talk to my husband about acquiring a back brace for his back and knee pain. Called husband’s cell phone 5 times in 4 days. First four calls from (618) 215-2177 on March 4, 5, 6, 2019, fifth call on March 7 from (585)206-6237. Husband, son and I answered 4 of 5 calls, missed one. I took last call, questioned it was Medicare and he recited our street address. Told him husband’s condition well researched by his neurosurgeon and primary care physician, pain management is their recommendation, not a back brace. Choose to follow their directions, back brace would exacerbate, not relieve pain.

Constant calls with no amswer

- Simpsonville, SC, USA

Calls are from 240-562-3589-Gaithersburg MD. and says they want to confirm Medicare info. and provide Medicare assistance. Received several calls. Cannot return call. Spoke with 3 individuals who would not identify themselves. When I called them out as a scam and told I would report them, they hung up.

- Camas, WA, USA

I recieved at least one phone call a day about how " Great News, you have been approved for a knee or back brace" it prompts you to press 5 to be placed on your do not call list and when i do it hangs up. but i keep getting daily calls. So i presses 1 to spk with someone. I've spoken to Eddie, Dominic, Tyrone and some dother name i couldnt understand and specifically asked them to remove me and to cease calling. Calls continue daily and its impossible. I block the # they call from and just call from a new one each day

- Mc Graw, NY, USA

I don't usually answer phone numbers I don't know, but I've seen this number repeatedly on my caller I'd over the last several months. When I call it back, it says they are trying to reach my party, then says please try again later. Well I answered the phone call finally today and it was a man with an Indian accent stating he was calling to activate my Medicare card # and that it shows that it's not activated. First off, Medicare cards are not "activated" either you have Medicare and they send you the card or you don't. I knew this, even though I'm not even old enough to receive Medicare. So I told the man no. He said what do you mean no? I said i dont even have Medicare. I said quit calling my number, then he hung up.

I had blocked the number before; the

call came through anyway. States they are calling regarding my Medicare.

Asked about a recent inquiry and without thinking I answered yes. The caller then hung up. Could hear the beeping in the background that would indicate they were recording but was distracted and didn't think about what they were asking until the end.

- Anchorage, AK, USA

The call started with an automated message stating that I will be denied Medicare if I do not act now. I followed along and muted my phone and a man named Corey answered and referred to himself as a pain specialist. I hung up and blocked the number after that.

- Pocatello, ID, USA

Thought I'd share this with you, Tis the season for scammers. I am listing these phone numbers for everyone to see. They claim to be selling insurance and are trying to help people because the deadline is coming up, but they need your credit card # in order to send you the documentation to look over. The one that came in as Boise called three times but was obviously not in Idaho, he had no idea how to pronounce Pocatello or Bannock.

- Conesus, NY, USA

A girl called Maria claimed to be from Medicare and she was trying to sell back and knee braces I said I don't have chronic knee or back pain she then hung up

Vast amount of calls representing Medicare over the last several months. Please investigate to protect our elderly folks.

I've been called by a number that my husband and I will receive a back brace. I don't even have medicare yet! This person speaks English with a foreign accent and quickly told me EVERYTHING about myself: my name, birthday, address and phone number. Then proceded to tell me I will receive a back brace for my back and asked me my height and how much I weighed. Also asked to verify my husband details. Had his birthday and address and so on correct. At the end when he reviewed the details, he asked me for my social security and I told him that I do not give out my social security number to ANYONE and hung up. If he calls again, I will hang up directly!

- Vancouver, WA, USA

I have been called three days in a row, by three different people at this phone number, telling me that I have medicare benefits for a back or knee brace that I have not used.

Each time I have told them not to call back. I know this is a scam.

I didn't talk long enough to learn what they wanted, whether money or information.
