New Email Scam Pretending to Be from Medicare

Be aware of a new email scam that is circulating, where fraudsters send emails pretending to be from Medicare. These emails often claim there is an issue with your Medicare coverage or benefits and urge you to click on a link or provide personal information to resolve the problem.

The scam emails may use official Medicare logos and language to appear legitimate. They might ask for sensitive information such as your Medicare number, Social Security number, or banking details. Providing this information can lead to identity theft or financial loss.

To protect yourself:

• Do not click on links or download attachments from unsolicited emails.
• Medicare will never ask for personal information via email.
• If you receive a suspicious email, contact Medicare directly using official contact information.
• Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Medicare office.

Stay vigilant and protect your personal information from these fraudulent schemes.
