Janelle –
Victim Location 53227
Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
Caller said I was in line for a free brace since I am on Medicare and recently saw my doctor with back and knee pain.
All this was true.
They had my correct address and phone number.
I told them my doctor never mentioned a brace, but they insisted I was to get one.
I (stupidly) gave them my doctor’s name and the last 4 digits of my Social Security number.I said I don’t give this over the phone but she said she needed it to go ahead and that my doctor would be contacting me.
I am quite sure this was a scam and am now worried about giving my SS number.
The number is from Santa Ana, CA and I am in Milwaukee, WI!
What do I do next?
