Scam Description
I received a phone call a few minutes ago from Medicare. It was a man. Chris Parker. He said he was a supervisor with Medicare. There are two spam calls on my phone. The phone number that called me twice is 440-553-7183. This may be the number that called me about this. He gave his Med badge number 1490. He asked me if I got a new card from Medicare. I said I have some kind of card of Medicare. I told him I cannot see very well. He proceeded to tell me he was from Concord Number One through Medicare. Would take effect in 2023. He gave me a number to give to the pharmacist when I go to the drugstore. I will never have to pay for prescriptions again. I tried to write the number. I don’t see well 280928060960. He asked for the number on my Medicare card the last time I got the card. I did not give the number. I told him I could not find it. He told me to go in my purse and look for the Medicare card. Today was the last day to be signed up for this program for the first of the year. The call made me feel uncomfortable. He has called before. I told him I do not want you mess with my Medicare or Medical insurance. He said Miss Ruby this is not a joke. This is legit. I am trying to help you out. I said do not mess with my insurance. I hung up and he called right back. He wanted me to get my Medicare card out. Wanted to know what color it was. He said look in your wallet and purse. He said can you see where you have A & B. He asked when I received the card. I did not give him any information. I told him again not to mess with my Medicare. He told me not to be afraid. He kept calling and calling.
