- Medicare phone scam targets seniors
A Wisconsin woman, identified as Janet, was targeted by a Medicare phone scam where scammers impersonated Medicare representatives, pharmacies, and doctors to coerce her into obtaining unnecessary medical equipment. Medicare confirmed it was a scam, and the Senior Medical Patrol warns that Medicare never unsolicitedly contacts individuals to request personal information or send new cards.
