🚨Scam Alert!🚨

Today marks the end of Medicare Fraud Prevention Week, an annual awareness campaign held during the week of 6/5—a nod to age 65, when most people become eligible for Medicare.

“Medicare participants can protect themselves by never sharing any information, especially their Medicare or Social Security numbers, with anyone who tries to solicit their business by phone, online or at their front door,” said DIFS Director Anita Fox. “If someone believes they’ve experienced a Medicare scam or a high-pressure sales tactic, we encourage them to contact DIFS at Michigan.gov/DIFSComplaints or by calling 877‑999‑6442 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to file a complaint.”
