From a reader of Greene Publishing, Inc.’s Madison County Carrier and Madison Enterprise-Recorder:
I am writing to let you know that there is a scam going on with
the elderly in Madison County. My mother received two [2] phone calls
today , one from a man and the other from a woman, They stated that the
government was sending out new medicare cards to all senior citizens and
then they started asking for their banking information. I would
appreciate it if you could let everyone know about this scam. The
number that showed up on her caller id was 409-574-1214 , I tried to
do a reverse search and got nothing. Some of our seniors would give
them their information and this would be very bad for them.
I greatly appreciate you attention to this matter and Thank you in
advance.
