Whistleblower blog: Scammers exploit health care law

September 12, 2013 at 2:06PM

Excerpt from our blog:

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota said consumers across the nation are receiving scam phone calls telling them that because of the Affordable Care Act, they need to provide personal or financial information to receive health coverage or to keep the coverage they currently have.

Some of you have reported to Whistleblower that swindlers posing as Medicare representatives have called seeking personal information, including bank account numbers, that they need before sending out a replacement insurance card.

Whistleblower wants to know if you are getting calls from people who claim they need your personal information so you can stay insured. Call Alejandra Matos at 612-673-4028 or e-mail amatos@startribune.com.
