Call stated they were Medicare updating information and was working with supplemental insurance companies. Had a foreign accent. Ask if I had supplemental insurance and asked for information on back of insurance card. They gave me a phone number of 864-146-5908 to call back and verify information. I asked them to send me the information in the mail that Medicare has my information. Tried to call number back 2 hours later and it had been disconnected, non working number. Have not received anything in the mail.

Caller states, "Hi this is Joe, I'm a Medicare Advisor calling on a recorded line. Can you hear me ok?" There are other variations of what organization this same caller states he is calling from (depending on the phone number). From other reports I have read on similar calls from this scammer, after a response from the call recipient, the caller hangs up. This is highly suspected to be a phishing scam for "yes" responses which may be recorded to take advantage of the call recipient. Each time I block one of the 215-814-0*** numbers, I continue to get a call from a similar number.

They knew my name and my address and my social security number. She said was going to send me a booklet about a brace on page 145 or 175. She only spoke Spanish and when I asked for someone that can speak English to explain it to my wife, she said she would get a supervisor, but my wife felt it was a scam, so at this point I simply hung up the phone. I have gotten the call numerous times from the same number. When I try to call the number back, I get a busy signal. I also got 2 calls immediately after with the caller ID for Washington, DC.

I'm not exactly sure if this is a scam but I received a phone call from someone who identified themselves as someone from medicare and that they were calling from a recorded line. When I answered "yes" to respond, the person on the other end immediately hung up. I tried to call the number back but only received a recorded message about how to be put on their do not call list. I am worried that this may be one of those calls where they use your recorded yes to put frauduelant charges on an utility/credit card account.

A man asked me if he could speak with my grandmother and I asked who was calling and he responded by greeting me and addressing me as if I was my grandmother. He said he was calling from Medicare and needed to speak about the program she was in. I said my grandmother was in hospice care and he hung up on me.

The woman called stating she was calling customers who have medicare offering free braces for back, knee, wrist, foot and hand. I had just injured my knee so I questioned her further about the cost and who would be paying for the brace. She stated that this was a new medicare service and that the brace was free and would be delivered to my home by UPS. When she asked for my medicare #, I realized she didn't know if I was on medicare or not and if she was calling medicare customers for real she would know that. I ended the call.

Cold call from a female named Marie with "Medicare" to verify my name, address and phone number. I believe it was a version of the "yes" scam.

Received a phone call from 409 753 7761. I don't usually answer numbers I don't recognize, but was expecting a call from a lab. They ask if I could hear them then a click and I thought I was disconnected so I said hello again. Then was ask if I was on Medicare. So I hung up. The call lasted 24 seconds, but it scared me, so I thought I better report it.

ScamPulse.com met with a consumer regarding a scam phone call. Consumer reports she received a call from someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be from Medicare to follow up on a leg/back pain claim that is non-existent. They were trying to reach her mom and trying to get her to answer medical questions. Consumer told them she did not believe he was from Medicare; her mom has never had back issues and he needed to stop calling. Scammer than reminded the consumer that he had all her personal information. The consumer then hung up.
