A foreign speaking man called asking if I was diabetic. I said I was. He asked for my name and address so he could send me a free blood monitor kit. then he asked what size shoe I wore so he could send me diabetic shoes for free. When he asked for my medicare number, I said I don't give that to anyone. He said that's no big deal and I said you're right and hung up. The medicare number is also your social security number. Our called ID showed 737-786-9211.

This individual has been making calls in Indiana under the same number and offering the same diabetic supplies, or heating pads. They might even know your doctors name. Do not give them your information. It is a SCAM. Call your local SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol) and report the incident.
