Scammers are still pretending to be Medicare—and they're getting more convincing.

If you receive an unexpected call, text, or email claiming there's a problem with your Medicare coverage or asking you to "verify" your Medicare number or bank information, don't respond. Medicare won't contact you out of the blue to ask for personal or financial information.
