You know it's bad when you're a Medicare Broker & your OWN MOTHER calls you up to find out what's going on with all of the Medicare Flex Card & Extra Benefits ads for Seniors that she's seeing on Facebook!
There's certainly been an uptick in calls asking about all of these Facebook ads. I received yet another one today.
Here's the scoop: THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T HAVE ANY EXTRA MONEY EARMARKED FOR SENIORS - PERIOD.
If anything, the government has reduced it's funding to Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act of '22.
These fraudulent ads are put out by Third Party Marketing Organizations (TPMOs).
Joe Namath, George Foreman, Jimmy (J.J.) Walker, & even annoying "Margaret" are all products of TPMOs.
Their sole purpose is to gather your personal information & sell it in the form of Leads. They make A LOT of money selling YOUR information - & they sell it over & over & over again, as a never- ending cash stream.
If I sound angry, it's because I am. I'm sick & tired of packs of unscrupulous people preying on our Senior Citizens like hyenas.
Let me share the ground rules for Medicare Agents per Medicare:
Agents are NOT allowed to cold call you.
Agents may send out mailers
Agents may not distribute flyers on cars, or doors, or on mailboxes
Agents may email you, but must have an opt-out
Agents may not go door to door
Any one of these breaches in protocol should be a red flag.
Please be safe & don't speak to anyone who calls you & don't respond to any of these ads that you see.
