Scam Description
My dad started receiving all these braces in the mail, I didn’t think anything of it, I didn’t know. He said someone called, asked alot of questions about arthritis, etc.. He’s 80 & went along with it. They called often, sometimes several times a day. It could be different people or different numbers. Then, he got two genetic saliva test in the mail, which he did & mailed them off before he said anything to me. He said when he got the last saliva test, someone called him & walked him through how to do it then a “big white truck” (assuming Fed Ex) came & picked it up. They must’ve been tracking it & knew when it was delivered. Well, then I knew something wasn’t right. I started calling some of these numbers back & they were personal numbers or went straight to a busy or disconnected signal. Then I started looking up the business names/addresses that the braces & the saliva tests were coming from. The addresses don’t match up with that business name or didn’t exist. On Google maps, when I looked them up, you can zoom in on the building (usually a strip mall type). If there was another business next to the address they were using, I called that business & asked if there was “said” business next to them…No there wasn’t. I have blocked numbers from his landline, but more call daily. So far, he has gotten several braces & two saliva tests and they were all billed to his Medicare or Tri-Care Insurance. They went so far as to contact his primary care doctor, requesting the braces and his medical and pharmacy information. They doctor did not give this out and told them they do not write prescriptions for braces (I have this fax to prove it). But, it shows on his insurance explanation of benefits where they billed him anyway and it says it was prescribed by his doctor.
