And if Medicare wanted an update from us, they'd communicate by snail mail!

They also communicate by email, many posters here have registered with them online.

Thanks so much for the heads up!

Since everyone in the US should be familiar with the IRS calls by now, maybe this is replacing them. What could Medicare possibly need to know that they haven't already asked?

A little earlier I received a call from someone asking for me by my name......I asked who was calling.....this person asked someone else who was calling.....they said United Healthcare.......knew by this it was a scam call. Told this individual that she (me) was not interested and hung up.......
Know better than to say the YES word.......
Did check out the number, and there have been 160+ calls reported for that number and they said it must be a scam call.

I just stopped answering any phone number I do not recognize, or I put on the "Do Not Disturb" feature our phone company offers!

Since I'm home most of the time, I get around 5 or 6 SCAM calls a day. I just tell them to f off!!!!! No one would ever call u and ask that u give out ur information. Just hang up.

Something like that makes me angry -- trying to take advantage of senior citizens. I hope they get caught. I recently received an email from Social Security and I knew it was legitimate. Medicare or SS will not call you unless you called them and gave your phone no. Never give personal info. over the phone to anyone.
