Police Warn About Medicare Phone Call Scam

White Settlement police say people should be aware of scammers trying to get personal information by claiming to be with Medicare. 

Detectives say a scammer called someone on the phone, claimed to be with Medicare, told the victim that changes were made to their plan, and asked for her social security number. The scammer called from the area code 517-565-XXXX.

The person affected by the scam did not give her social security number to the scammer and contacted Medicare directly.

Medicare never asks for social security information over the phone, White Settlement police say. 

Police say if you doubt that someone calling you is legitimate, call the organization directly or call police.
