BEWARE FAKE GENETIC TESTING SCAM

BEWARE -- FAKE GENETIC TESTING SCAM!!

Scammers are trying to get beneficiaries to give them your Medicare numbers -- in return for a kit with a swab that detects hidden medical conditions.  THIS IS BOGUS!!

Please asks seniors (and senior center staff) to report any incident to 1-800-Medicare so they (Medicare) can look

for a pattern and take action.

Go to https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2019/dna-testing-scam.html for more information at present.  EOEA is developing an article for COA newsletters.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in this effort!

Sincerely,

Emmett
