PROTECT YOURSELF FROM POTENTIAL SCAMS

Do not give out your Medicare number or any personal information in response to unsolicited calls, texts, or emails. Personal information may be used in other types of fraud as well as identity theft.

Scammers use fear from the COVID-19 pandemic to prey on Medicare beneficiaries. Callers offer Medicare beneficiaries COVID-19 testing kits, vaccines, prescriptions, masks, creams, and hand sanitizer, or even a COVID-19 treatment package at no cost.

Contact Lisa Alhabal at the Southwestern CT Agency on Aging at (203) 814-3618 to report suspected fraud or to become a volunteer.
