🛑 Medicare fraud can happen to anyone — but knowing the warning signs can help protect you and your loved ones.

Be cautious of unexpected calls, texts, or offers asking for your Medicare number or personal information. Medicare will never contact you out of the blue to request sensitive information.

If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts and ask questions. Reviewing your Medicare statements regularly can also help spot fraud early.

Need help with Medicare or have questions about possible scams? Contact Legacy Link SHIP for free, unbiased assistance at 📞 770-538-2650.
