6. FWIW - If I get a call and I don't know the person or the number the call is

coming from, I let it go to the answering machine. If they really want me they will leave a message and then I can evaluate who it is. In this case if they had left a message about a new Medicare card, I would have called Medicare (not the number that the scammer called from) to find out what was going on.

Told my wife today that if people are trying to get ahold of us it might take some effort.
