(Scammers are unscrupulous)….They thrive on tragedy and other people’s miss-fortune.

The COVID 19 Pandemic is no exception. Scammers are using the pandemic to try and steal your Medicare Number, personal information and money. They are using robocalls, social media posts and emails. Remember, if anyone reaches out to get your Medicare number or personal information in exchange for something, you can bet it is a scam. Some of the scams are robocalls offering respiratory masks that are never sent, social media posts fraudulently seeking donations for non-existent charities, or claiming to give you stimulus funds if you enter your bank account information, fake testing kits, cures, immunity pills and offers for protective equipment.
