Someone claiming to be "Genetic healthcare services" told me they would send a test kit to me to return with a cheek swab that would tell me if I was genetically likely to contract a variety of diseases. Then they asked for my medicare card number and my social security number, so I gave them the numbers I made up.
Earlier, I have received calls from call centers (lots of chattering people in the background) that told me that I needed to upgrade my Medicare card for the "*NEW special medicare card that has a chip in it*, and they wanted the numbers of my medicare card. Since no one has ever asked me for the Medicare card to rn through a scanner, I figured it was a scam, and of course, it was.
But this one is new, and only one HHS website warned about this particular scan.
