Unexpectedly, dozens of residents receive relentless calls from someone pretending to be Medicare, demanding Social Security or Medicare numbers for bogus pain‑cream or card‑replacement offers. These scam attempts often use heavy foreign accents and claim urgent threats like police involvement to pressure victims. If you get such a call, hang up immediately, never share personal info, and block the number on your phone. Report the incident to the FCC (1‑888‑237‑2362) and to Medicare’s fraud line (1‑800‑633‑4227). Keep a log of call times and share it with local law‑enforcement to help track patterns. Consider enrolling in the National Do Not Call Registry to reduce unwanted outreach.
