325-777-1252

Call about car's extended warranty, sounded like a real person on the line

The Texas Senior Medicare Patrol has received several complaints about Medicare scam calls from 325-777-1252. The target of this call was an individual who is not yet a Medicare recipient! The female robocall voice says: “We have tried numerous times to contact you through the mail and now by telephone regarding your eligibility for top of the line braces to alleviate your pain and increase mobility. This is your final notice. If you do not act soon. Medicare will label you ineligible for coverage. Press 1 now to speak with me or another pain specialist or press 9 to be put on the do not call list.” THIS IS A SCAM. MEDICARE WILL NEVER CALL YOU. Report these scams to the Federal Trade Commission (https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov) , Medicare Office of the Inspector General (https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/index.asp) and your state's Senior Medicare Patrol (1-877-808-2468, or https://www.smpresource.org). DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY IDS. Check your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs). If you see that Medicare has been billed for a brace or other durable medical equipment or prescriptions that neither you nor your doctor has ordered, report that information immediately to your state's Senior Medicare Patrol (1-877-808-2468, or https://www.smpresource.org).
