Health care scams are becoming increasingly common, often presented through misleading TV ads, emails, or phone calls. Scammers may claim you need a new Medicare card, a new health insurance card, or offer discounted health insurance, pressuring you to act immediately. Remember, you usually don't need to respond to these urgent requests. They aim to steal your personal information, such as Social Security numbers and financial details. Always take your time, verify the information, and consult trusted sources like 1-800-MEDICARE before sharing any personal data.
