As someone who works with seniors, I find it deplorable that someone would try to take such advantage of our elderly. What a terrible scam. And against something that they are so dependent on as well!

I agree with lizbud... call your state's attorney office and file a complaint!

If you have a local SHIIP (Senior Health Insurance Information Program) office, call them and ask if a counselor may be able to help you. If you cannot find their number, call your local Council on Aging and ask for it.

And a suggestion when calling medicare. When the phone is answered, and they begin giving yout he prompts: "dial this if you need that" and "press this number for this", say "AGENT" clearly into the phone. It will get you to al ive person faster than continually going throu all of the prompts. You may still have to wait, but your wait shouldn't be near as long.

Good luck with this mess. I am by no means an expert, but feel free to PM me if you need any help. I can do what I can from Indiana and I always enjoy a good challenge!
