Very valid point "thelegges" The email the OP is referencing (same as the one I got, also on Wednesday) does have a link telling a phone number at Medicare to use. I didn't trust it but it actually turned out to be the right one. If someone does get one of those emails, please enter the Medicare or Social Security web site URL yourself to get the web site and the phone number from those sites. Blindly trusting an email to be safe can be rather dangerous. That email can go directly to the Spam/Junk folder because it is sent to multiple addresses as a bulk email and some email systems are set by default to consider those kinds to be Spam/Junk as a safety measure.

Good that you bring that up though. Amazing how many people here fall for blind email directions.
