Police Departments became aware of a scam targeting senior citizens and Medicare recipients.
The scam involves a caller claiming to be from the Medicare office stating that there has been a glitch in their computer system. The caller states that the recipients need to re-verify their card information which is the recipient's Social Security number ending in a letter. The callers are also asking recipients to verify their bank routing numbers.
By no means should any individual give this information out over the phone, say local law enforcement officials. Suspects can use this information to open accounts or access bank records.
Remember that any caller asking for Social Security numbers, bank routing numbers, full names and dates of birth are likely to be scams or attempts at identity theft. If you've experienced this scam or feel that you have been a victim of a scam please call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
