What a coincidence that you should share this. Earlier this week I got a call from a guy that claimed to be calling from Medicare. I was suspicious from the start, because the call supposedly originated from Moab, UT, a place known only for recreation, not for call centers.
He claimed that Medicare is sending out new cards, and I should have received mine by now. He asked me to give him the number on it, so he could verify if it was the new card or old card. I told him that I knew it was the original Medicare card that I had received, and I knew this because I am not stupid.
He hung up on me. That sure was unprofessional of a Medicare representative, to hang up on me.
