An estimated 5 million, or 1 in 10, older Americans experience elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Report elder abuse – physical, emotional, financial exploitation – to the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-962-2873 (1-800-96ABUSE). #WEAAD https://t.co/bFDayS6WN4

If you have a family member or take care of someone over 65, talk to them about never sharing their Medicare number to unsolicited requests. This is likely a scam and could lead to medical identity theft. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek #MFPW

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Si tiene un familiar o cuida a alguien mayor de 65 años, hable con ellos sobre nunca compartir su número de Medicare con peticiones no solicitadas. Es probable que esto sea una estafa y resulte en un robo de identidad médica.

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Families and caregivers, you can help protect your loved ones from being scammed. Talk to the older folks in your life about protecting their Medicare number like they would a bank account number. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Familiares y cuidadores, ayuden a proteger a sus seres queridos contra el fraude. Hable con las personas mayores en su vida sobre proteger su número de Medicare como lo harían con el número de una cuenta bancaria. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Podrían ofrecerle productos "gratuitos", como soportes de espalda o rodilleras, alimentos o beneficios adicionales a cambio de su número de Medicare. Eso es una estafa.

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

You might be offered “free” products like back or knee braces, food, or additional benefits for your Medicare number. That’s a scam.

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Scammers will use a lot of tactics to get your Medicare number, so be aware of their tricks. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

Los estafadores usan muchas tácticas para obtener su número de Medicare, así que tengan cuidado con sus trucos. Si suena demasiado bueno para ser verdad, es probable que lo sea. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

La forma más eficaz de evitar que ocurra un fraude contra Medicare es prevenirlo.
¡Si encuentra algo preocupante en un estado de cuenta de Medicare o comparte su información de Medicare sin querer, repórtelo!

[Alliance for Aging @Alliance4Aging]

The most effective way to stop Medicare fraud from happening is to prevent it in the first place.
If you find something concerning on a Medicare statement or accidentally give out your Medicare information, report it!

Proteja su tarjeta de Medicare. No comparta su número de Medicare con nadie por teléfono. No lo envíe por mensaje de texto. No lo use para inscribirse en ofertas "gratuitas". Decir no es la mejor defensa en contra de los estafadores. https://t.co/hbRsPTdfDl
