Medicare scammer targets seniors wanting back brace
Omaha, Nebraska (WOWT) Robocalls are targeting senior citizens on Medicare. They offer a free benefit that may cost them coverage on a claim in the future.
They offer braces like these claiming potential pain relief from head to toe and not hurt your wallet.
“If you have Medicare we can see if you are eligible to receive these braces at little to no cost,” said the scammer.
A specialist at Nebraska Spine and Pain Center, Krista Johnson knows a Medicare patient taken by the phone offer and couldn’t brace for its impact.
