Scam Medicare calls. They say you need a new 2025 card. False. No such thing.

Hang up and call the real Medicare to report.

Also report to federal trade commission 1.877.382.4357.

3. What exactly am I supposed to report?

That I received a scam Medicare call from some unknown location in India, Pakistan or other foreign country?

Or that I received yet another Advantage Medicare call that may or may not be a scam? But I'd have to listen to their whole spiel before I can even begin to tell.

I get at least 4 or 5 of these calls per day. For years. It's so bad I recognize the automated voices of several of the same outfits. "Hello? Are you there?" Saves time because I can just hang up.

4. Call Medicare and ask them. Also the do not call list?

7. I've been on the Do Not Call list for at least 5 years

Perhaps it does cut down on overall calls, but only from legitimate companies. The scammers ignore it, and many other organizations are exempt.

And no, I'm not going to call some beleaguered understaffed Medicare department to tell them that I received some call that can't be traced. All they can do is confirm it was not from Medicare, and I already know that.
