Rise in Medicare Scams Targeting Seniors

When you turn 65, you can get Medicare, which is a health insurance plan from the government.

But some bad people try to trick seniors by calling or messaging them, saying they need to give personal information for Medicare.

These tricks are happening more often, with lots of people complaining about them.

Scammers might say your Medicare card is expiring or that you need a new one.

They might also offer free medical stuff or say you need to give information to keep your benefits.

It's important not to give out personal details like your Social Security number or Medicare number to anyone who calls unexpectedly.

Also, don't click on links in messages you didn't ask for, and always check your Medicare statements for anything strange.
