Beware of senior scams
To the editor:
In follow up to Chief Darin Perrotte, (“How to protect yourself from scams,” Enterprise, June 14) the following is a scam I posted on Facebook. Senior people should be warned:
“Warning! I got a call from South Dakota. I don’t usually answer these calls. The guy asked me if I received my new Medicare card yet, a plastic card. I said no. He asked me to get the one I have and read it to him … I said ‘I’m not giving you any information over the phone. Goodbye and don’t call again.'”
There is no plastic Medicare card. Sincerely,
Jennifer Zahn
