🚨 Don't fall for this scammer trick!!🚨 People with Medicare are NOT getting new cards this year. However, some scammers might try to trick you into thinking they are. They may say that Medicare is sending out new cards, like a plastic card or one with a chip. The scammers might ask you to confirm your identity before they send you the new card. This could mean asking for your Medicare number. This is a way for them to steal your personal or financial information. Contact your local SMP program if you believe you have experienced possible Medicare fraud. smpresource.org
