DAYTON, Ohio -- A consumer group is warning seniors to be careful when signing up for the Medicare Discount Drug cards that went into effect on June 1.
The Foundation For Taxpayer and Consumer Rights said fake drug card companies are trying to sell fake cards to steal identities. Medicare bans unsolicited calls and visits from drug reps.
Remember, the authentic cards are stamped with a federal government seal.
The consumer group advises seniors to read the fine print and ask questions. Seniors should report fraud to the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services at 1-800-MEDICARE.
