If your number is on the National Do Not Call Registry, these scammers can be tracked down if we continue to report them and fined up to $10,000!! Here's a few tips to help it stop.
1) Add your number to the National Do Not Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov OR by calling 1-888-382-1222.
2) File a complaint with the FCC (Federal Communications Committee): https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
This is a simple form that will ask for basic information from the call received, OR you can call 1-888-225-5322 to file a report.

โข exact date/time call received
โข what phone number was on the caller ID (it's okay if it's a spoofed number--they can still track down these callers)
โข what name showed on the caller ID (ie-Healthcare, Medicare, Spam Risk, etc...)
โข where they say they are calling from/who they say they are
๐๐ข๐ฉ: When you talk to someone you suspect is a scammer, tell them you will need to call them back after you talk to your family. Ask for their name and best phone number to reach them at. If they can't give you that information, chances are, they are a scammer! Remember, Medicare will never call you unless you've requested a call back.
