AARP Warns Of Scam Callers Claiming to Be From Medicare

The AARP is warning people about a phone scam targeting senior citizens.

Scam victims are receiving a robocall offering a free health test from Medicare.

According to AARP, the scam calls have hit more than 60-million Americans.

"That's a scam because that's not how it works. Your doctor has to prescribe durable medical equipment or surgeries or test kits. and without that prescription, you can't get this stuff," said AARP Director of Fraud Prevention Programs Kathy Stokes.

The Federal Trade Commission says scammers are often trying to collect personal information. According to the FTC, if you get a call from anyone asking for your personal information, simply hang up.
