It's important to know the signs of a Medicare scam so you can protect yourself. To get your personal information, like your Medicare number, scammers may call, text and email saying things like:
"You need to activate or renew your Medicare card."
"We'd like to send you a free genetic testing kit."
"Medicare has authorized us to send you a free (knee, back or elbow) brace."
"You qualify for a refund on your Medicare costs."
Remember, never give your Medicare card or number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it.
