Spot These 10 Scams Before They Ruin Your Retirement

Medicare scams

Fraudsters love manipulating the Medicare system.

Posing as representatives of the government health care program, they may call or email older people to fish for personal information that they can use to commit identity theft.

Other scammers set up mobile units at fairs and churches and offer “free” screenings or exams. They obtain your Medicare information, submit bills for the services, pocket the money and skip town.

When it’s time to see your doctor for your annual exam or screenings, Medicare will deny your claim and say you’ve already had your covered services during the year.
