FRAUD ALERT 4 PEOPLE WITH DIABETES

April 6th, 2012 by Sally Santana

The Office of Inspector General/U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services says:

“Although the precise method may vary, the scheme generally involves someone pretending to be from the Government, a diabetes association, or even Medicare, calling you. The caller offers “free” diabetic supplies, such as glucose meters, diabetic test strips, or lancets. The caller may also offer other supplies such as heating pads, lift seats, foot orthotics, or joint braces, in exchange for the beneficiaries’ Medicare or financial information, or confirmation of this type of personal information. Additionally, you may receive items in the mail that you did not order.

The call is a scam.”  It goes on to say that it isn’t limited to diabetes, but any org related to Medicare.
