My DH will be 65 in February. Since May, we have been hounded by Medicare Supplimental insurance companies and by Advantage plans.  Everyday we get something in the mail and our phone is ringing off of the hook.

We have always had an unlisted number and an have no idea where these companies got it.  I have blocked numerous companies from calling already 

Yesterday a caller got through and told my DH she was from Medicare.  I told him to hang up.  She was not from Medicare.  She was hawking an Advantage Plan.

My DH will have to signup for Medicare,  but he is not going on SS until he is 66.  

I feel for everyone turing 65 soon,  when my time comes, I wiill have to deal with this'll all over again.

No wonder people goes nuts with all of this information being thrown at them.

Sign up for the "do not call" list.  We have been on it, but when my husband became eligible for Medicare, the calls never stopped.  You can then go and report the number of who called you.  However, they are getting more crafty at hiding their real business.  It will just say "New York Call" or "Florida call" and it is a telemarketer.  Or it will say "cellular call" or even numbers that don't make sense.

Political or charitable groups can call.  They are exempt (figures) from the "do not call" list.  It was unreal how many calls we got.

We are already on the do not call list... it doesn't work.  I have also reported companies before and the calls keep coming.

We have NEVER had a listed phone number, never.  I am trying to figure out where these companies got our number. They call and ask for DH by his name.  This has me puzzled and upset.  I have no way of figuring this out.
