Posted on: December 4, 2012 - 6:02pm
A senior in the North Central Area Agency on Aging region reported to CHOICES Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) and the Department of Insurance that she received a call yesterday (Wednesday, Sept. 12th 2007) from a "Kathryn Foster" purpotedly from "Union Consumer Benefits" 866-606-1967 - about a New Senior Medicare Card. The woman was asking for the beneficiary's bank information and Medicare information, which the beneficiary did not provide. the woman said she needed a call back by 4pm that day.
Be aware - this is a scam. Other out of state law enforcement sources have reported this scenario as well.
