- Pretending to be a Medicare representative and asking for confirmation of your personal information, bank details, or Medicare number before “they” can send your new card.
- Saying you’ll be charged a fee if you don’t provide certain information.
- Offering you free equipment or services in exchange for your Medicare information.
- Informing you of new policies or updates about Medicare, then asking for personal data.

Instead, hang up, call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE yourself, and report the scam. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Additionally, learn the truth about Medicare’s card replacement initiative.
With a healthy dose of skepticism, you won’t be fooled by Medicare scammers.

You can choose to appoint a legacy contact, which is a person you trust who will look after your account if it's memorialized. A memorialized account is a place for friends and family to continue to share memories of you after you've died.
If you don't choose a legacy contact, your account will still be memorialized when requested by close family or friends, but no one will be able to log in, accept friend requests, change the profile photo, etc. To manage your legacy contact, follow these steps:
