Scam targets Medicare recipients

Officials are warning residents about a new scam.

New Medicare cards will be mailed out next month. Scammers are calling recipients and claiming that they need a social security number and other information before the card can be sent out.

Officials say this is a scam. New cards will be sent automatically and will not require personal information over the phone.

If you get a call like that, you should not provide any information.
