Victim Location 50162

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

A suspicious mailer was sent to the libraries of my state, including the one I direct. The mailer was vague and the materials suspicious, including some of the phrasing used in the letter. The first lines of the short letter were: "Due to the massive cuts to the ACA Navigator and Advertising budgets as well the ACA Open Enrollment Period, we are reaching out to Libraries to help the public." A colleague reported to our network that the ACA does not recognize this group as an official affiliate. If you call the number from the materials, the group asks for your social security number, birthdate, etc.

The materials are high quality enough to look official without further investigation. If librarians or other trusted public services hang up the posters, potential scammers could expect many people to provide their sensitive information to the website and phone number listed. Although sent to a business, the target of this scam is any individual that accesses this information from a trusted business such as a library.

The entirety of the letter in the materials is transcribed verbatim below:

Re: ACA Open Enrollment – Now Open

Fr: Greg Town

Due to the massive cuts to the ACA Navigator and Advertising budgets as well the ACA Open Enrollment Period, we are reaching out to Libraries to help the public.

The public counts on Libraries to get enrollment information and at attend enrollment events so we are asking you to please post the attached flyers. There is no fee for our service. We primarily work with non-profit groups and government aggencies.

We are here to augment the efforts of any Navigators that might still be enrolling. Given the shortened enrollment period we will be open every day from November 1st to December 15th including weekends and holidays.

You are welcome to share out information with anyone. We want to help as many people as possible.

Thanks for your help!
