Did you know that there is a telephone Medicare scam making the rounds in Oregon? It's true - and it goes like this: "I'm calling from Medicare. We're about to send out national medical cards for the new Affordable Care Act. I just need to confirm your name, address and phone number.  Oh, and I need your Medicare and bank account number, too..." Scammers try to get seniors to reveal your personal information, usually for identity theft. Oregon seniors are advised that if they get a call asking for this information, just hang up! It's a scam. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) programs are educating seniors and others to report potential fraudulent activity. To learn more about the SMP program, go to www.stopmedicarefraud.gov<http://www.stopmedicarefraud.gov> or call the Oregon office of SMP at 1-855-ORE-ADRC (673-2372).
