FTC MFPW

Scammers spend their days pretending to be someone they aren’t, like government agents or medical staff, to con us out of information and money.

If you or someone you know has Medicare, here’s advice to help protect your time, money, and information from Medicare imposters. Read a story from the Federal Trade Commission.
