On April 23, 2019 I received a call from someone saying he was representing Medicare. He asked if my Medicare card was paper or plastic. Knowing that I had recently received my new Medicare card, I checked to see that it was paper. He then replied that the card was temporary and that new plastic cards were being issued. He proceeded to ask for the number and my name, address & birthdate. This information I gave to him. Not until he asked me to hold the line for 30 seconds, did it dawn on me that this was a scam. I immediately hung up and called the correct number for Medicare and spoke with a true representative who advised me to watch for my Medicare summary to make sure there were no false charges in the future.

A person named Jane Adams called and left my parents a vmm with a reference number to call them back (at the number 830-468-7901) about a genetic screening needing to be performed for Medicare. Because my father was waiting on a call from the doctor regarding an upcoming imaging (he was recently diagnosed with cancer), my mom assumed this was a valid call. The people proceeded to come to my parents’ house and take a swab from my father’s cheek ("to check how he would react to certain medicine". Unfortunately, they also asked to see my father’s social security card, which my mother provided. I’ve just called Medicare, and they confirmed they had nothing to do with this phone call.
