Last week, I
sent out a notice to the media about a call I received at my home
regarding getting a free medical alert system. The person who left a message
sounded very professional, calm and certain. It was nothing more than a scam.
Turns out, many people from all over the country have received the same call -
some multiple times. I received a lot of feedback, so I want to make sure you
are aware too.

out more information and to listen to the message. (It's a "wav" file, which
works best on Internet Explorer.)
Secondly, a senior called me because she
received a live call about a "new" Medicare card. That's also a scam. Medicare
will never call you. It's happening nationally and here's more info: http://roanoke.bbb.org/article/bbb-alert-medicare-card-replacement-scam-40782
Many times the calls come from out of
state or another country, which makes prosecution difficult. Only by staying
vigilant and passing along information to our loved will be outsmart these
criminals.
Sincerely,
Bob
P.S. With these scammers, I've found that
it's not a good idea to press numbers to be taken off their lists. It just
alerts them that it is a "working" number. Hang up or use your call i.d. and
don't even answer the phone.
