  • Scams, Medicare, And Obamacare

    scammerObamacare or the Affordable Care Act [ACA] is NOT the same as Medicare.

     

    If you have Medicare, there is need to do anything on October 1st.

    ACA or Obamacare is for people who are not 65 or older who need insurance.

    You might get called by those unethical scammers who will try to sell you something or get your information by telling you they can do something insurance-wise  for you.

    DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM

    They want to steal your credit card information or identity

    PS – please alert any seniors you know

    Thank you.

  • New Scam Tied To Affordable Care Act

    phone scams

     

     

    Now that the Supreme court has upheld the Affordable Care Act –

    the scammers are in full swing scamming – using the act and saying they are from the government and need some further information.

    According to the Federal Trade Commission [the FTC:]

    They [the scammers] say they're from the government and that, using the Affordable Care Act as a hook, they need to verify some information. They might have the routing number from your bank, and then use that information to get you to reveal the entire account number. Or, they'll ask for your credit card or Social Security number, Medicare ID, or other personal information.

    I've said it before and I will say it again –

    Do not give personal information to people who call you!

    Even if they say they are from the government….

    Believe me, the government already has your information!

    Stay safe! Stay healthy! Keep your personal info private!
