I answered because I mistakenly thought I recognized the number. It was a local area code, but the call was from out of state. The guy (foreign accent) said he was calling from Medicare Senior. He had my name and age (65+). Creepy. He wanted information about my medical problems. At this point I figured it was a scam, but decided to play along. He said he understood that I had back problems (I didn't), but I said I did. He asked what kind of medications I took for my back, so I told him heroin and methadone. Didn't seem to phase him. Then he told me that Medicare entitled me to a back brace every 5 years and he would make sure one was shipped to me for free. So I asked if he represented a back brace company. Yes. No wonder Medicare is in so much financial trouble with scammers like these.
