Scam Description
I think I was part of a scam yesterday. I answered a call on my landline. My caller ID showed Beachwood. OH. I don’t have the phone number..
it showed a 216 area code so I answered. I thought it was one of my doctors. The caller did not identify themselves. The caller said my name. I answered yes. He asked did you get your new Medicare card. I said no. I thought that was strange because I had not heard of that. It was a man. He was difficult to understand. He asked me another question. I don’t remember what the question was. I answered yes again. Then he said there have a lot of people calling because they have not received their new Medicare card. The last thing he said was he wanted me to look at my Medicare card. He must have wanted information off the card. I thought something isn’t right. I hung up. I did not think anything about it until I spoke with my cousin.
