Earlier this week a wave of prerecorded calls started hitting landlines, sounding like a Medicare adviser and prompting a simple "yes" to move forward. The audio is generic, not tied to any specific agency, and the script is designed to trap callers into confirming consent. These calls often originate from spoofed numbers and aim to harvest personal data or enroll victims in fraudulent services. If you receive a similar call, let the message finish, hang up, and report the number to your carrier or the FTC. Never provide personal details, and consider adding the caller to your block list or using a call‑filtering app.
This number has been used for a Medicare scam, utilizing a prerecorded message designed to trick individuals into responding with a 'yes', which can lead to further complications.
