My mother-in-law who is on Medicare keeps getting calls from someone who is insisting that she needs a back brace. She tells them no don't send it, but they keep insisting. I suggested she not pick up the phone if she does not recognize the number. Let the answering machine pick it up.
I called the Medicare fraud hotline and reported it and they said that this is a common scam and to block the number if possible. Also, they said the knee brace scam is the same thing. It is common as well. Is anyone else getting these Medicare scam calls?
