I am receiving numerous calls from someone saying they are wanting to send me free Covid tests. Any idea who this is and if it is a scam. The call is from Elizabethtown Indiana

There have been scams where in order to get the "free" tests you needed to provide your Medicare information. The tests were never sent but the callers then had your Medicare information.

I would not give any information and hang up.

Agreed.

If someone wants COVID test kits, Walgreen's has 'em. Free. Of course they're not free (either Medicare or your insurance pays) but nothing comes out of your pocket. And they won't use your Medicare or insurance info. for any nefarious activities.

This is troubling. Too many of our residents are not able to see a scam. Makes them vulnerable.

It's a scam, they want your Medicare info...

I never answer a call fron a number I don’t know. If it is a serios call, they will leave a message. If after a few minutes, I don’t receive a voice mail, I block the number.

Probably the same person who emails me daily offering me free Covid test. Don’t ever give anybody your information you don’t know.

Free Youmail app or Nomorobo. Mark spam and next time it tells caller line is disconnected

Keith..... NEVER answer a call from a number you do not know. If it is important, they will leave a message. I'll bet these calls don't. AND as an afterthought NEVER pay for services in advance.

And after you get your free test kit, let's talk about your car's warranty. :-)

[maistocars]

What are they?

Be careful with texts and emails with links inside them don't click the link.

Thanks

Never answer a call that is not in your contacts. If it's important they will leave a voice mail.
