SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Better Business Bureau warns of a recent uptick in Medicare scam reports.
Multiple victims reported to Winner Regional Health in Winner, South Dakota, that they had received phone calls from someone claiming to offer durable medical equipment covered by Medicare.
These calls are illegal; no one is allowed to make unsolicited calls to consumers about durable medical equipment.
Scammers were aggressive with their tactics, often calling multiple times until victims abided by their demands and allowed the scammer to submit an order to the victim’s doctor for payment.
If you have received any of the calls, contact Jessie Schmidt: 605-271-2067 with the South Dakota Better Business Bureau.
