to give out any personal information because Medi- care DOES NOT call you regard- ing medical needs. Medi- care will not contact you to provide Coronavirus tests, masks, or other items in exchange for your Medicare or Social Secu- rity number. These items are provided by visiting a doctor’s office or receiving a prescrip- tion distributed by a pharma- cy. Below are a few tips to help protect you against Medicare or Social Security fraud: • Never give your Medicare or Social Security number to strangers, especially those who call you on the phone or come to your door. Just like you tell your grandkids not to talk to strangers, you need realize strangers are not always your new friends. Play the Stranger Danger game. • Do NOT accept “free” offers in exchange for your Medicare number. Remem- ber, there is nothing “free”. They will have Medicare pay for whatever they are offering, and they will use your Medi- care number to get it paid for!! • Do not accept offers from door to door sales people. Watch out who you let in your house. • Never sign a blank form • Hang up when someone calls saying they represent Medicare or Social Security and asks for your Medicare or Social Security number! Remember Medicare and/ or Social Security know your number already. Medicare fraud is exploding and stealing “Baby Boomers and Seniors’ valuable Medi- care dollars.” The only way to stop it is to let your friends know what I have just told you. We need to stand together and stop those who only want to make a “fast buck” from your personal information. Togeth- er, we can do that!

I just happened to be at her house and was able to take the call. I told them that she did not give personal information over the phone I’m concerned this could be a scam, but then if it was Medicare, I’m concerned I could have made a mistake and she will not get the coro- navirus help needed if she does get sick.. I’ve advised my mother not to answer the phone and to let voice mail screen calls. Can you please advise me what I should do or where I could call to see if Medicare is trying to contact my mother? Alice Dallas, TX Don’t Worry Alice: You can relax because you were correct not to give your mother’s personal information over the phone because Medi- care or Social Security does not randomly call your home or office and ask for your per- sonal information.
