Yikes! Crazy phone call [View all]
First a guy with what seemed a British accent asked if I'd rec'd my new Medicare card in the mail. No, Then he says he has to confirm all my info, name, address and the Medicare # on the card. I told him I wasn't comfortable giving the number but he assured me it was in no way linked to any finances and he would not be asking for my SSN. We went ahead and he told me I was approved to receive back and knee braces which I needed to use because my bones were getting old. No charge to me. After much explaining I finally said fine so then he had to transfer me to verification dept. This guy also had a foreign accent. We went over a bunch of stuff like my size and weight and was I taking any meds or have any illness. Finally he said he would transfer me to shipping to confirm my order and this guy had a very India/Paki accent that I could just barely understand and we went over all the same stuff and I hung up on him cause I just couldn't put up with any more. They kept trying to call back and I finally answered and they apologized and said the call was being recorded and could I just verify everything, again.
This whole thing took half an hour and I'm not totally sure what I am getting so I wondered if anyone here knows what this is all about. Or knows where I might call to verify this was legit.
TIA
