Telemarketers are now telephoning diabetics saying they are from "Diabetes Management" and that all diabetics in your city are to receive a new Glucose Meter. Your address is "verified," Medicare is mentioned and then the telemarketer asks for your Medicare ID number and your Doctor's information. This is a scam and has been reported. One of the phone numbers is 919-825-0400. There apparently are other numbers. When questioned the caller repeats "Diabetes Management, Medicare, and Glucose Meter." Anyone else getting these calls? |
