9/21 Probably between 2 – 3:30pm… I spoke to Getty Lee with the Social Security Department at 800 772-1213. I wanted to cancel my part-B insurance. He told me to call the State Medicaid Department.
9/22 I called the State Medicaid Department at 888 834-7406. A cheerful agent answered and said they were giving away a $100 rebate today only. The agent said her name was Elaine and began telling me about 2 programs: Savings Advantage and Value Publications. I interrupted and asked what they had to do with Medicaid. She said the Medicaid number had changed and she would give me the new ph# after I signed up for the $100 rebate. She began telling me about the plans. I asked if they pertained to Medicaid. “No”. The plans supposedly had to do with shopping coupons for $24/mo. I told her I was not interested; would she please just give me the new ph#. She went right back into her canned speech about the Savings Advantage Plan. After requesting the new ph# several times, I finally hung up on her. Upon reviewing this conversation I now strongly suspect that the SOCIAL SECURITY agent I spoke with was most likely in on a scam and probably gave me a false name and then referred me to the ‘SCAM’ ph#. Something else that is frightening is that I gave this agent my SS#.

9/21 I spoke to Getty Lee with the Medicare Department from 1 800 633-4227. I wanted to cancel to part-B insurance. He told me to call the State Medicare Department.
9/22 Probably between 2 – 3:30pm. I called the State Medicare Department at (888 834-7406). A cheerful agent said they were giving away a $100 rebate today. The agent said her name was Elaine and began telling me about 2 programs: Savings Advantage and Value Publications. I interupted and asked what they had to do with Medicare. She said that was a different number she would give me after I signed up for the $100 rebate. She would need to charge my credit card $1.95 for trying the plans. The plans supposedly had to do with shopping coupons for $24/mo. I told her I was not interested; would she please just give me the new ph#. She went right back into her canned speech about the Savings Advantage Plan. After requesting the new ph# several times, I finally hung up on her. Upon reviewing this conversation I now strongly suspect that the MEDICARE agent I spoke with was most likely in on a scam and probably gave me a false name and then referred me to the mistaken ph#. Something else that is frightening is that I gave this agent my SS#.
