My grandmother was mislead by a telephone scam who claimed to be her doctor's office. She provided them with her SSN and DOB, what can I do?

Chances are this was a legitimate company that supplies glucose monitors. They need her info so they can do a medicare claim. This is what I mean by real companies selling unnecessary products in sleezy ways. There's a whole boatload of medical equipment you can get (all paid for by medicare - ie the taxpayers) if the company can get a senior to sign off for it; glucose monitors, durable equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, canes, etc.) etc. It's one of the many problems with medicare that unscrupulous companies have sprung up to take advantage of. At this point, I think seniors are more likely to be 'scammed' by legitimate companies than by actual (law-breaking) scammers.

I personally would be calling n taking her with me to change account numbers if she has a banking account, saving etc.. Credit cards prpobable need to be called n told of the situation n probable you will need to stop those account. Do you have a way to find out where the call came from n turn it in? I am sorry this has happen to your grandma and it sad that it happen too often.

Night, thanks for app for I got to check it out.

It might be time for someone in the family to take over her bill paying and monitor her bank accounts. Scamming the elderly is a huge business. Legitimate companies engage in it, selling nearly useless services and products, so really no company should be trusted.

I think everybody should check out the Scam Detector app.
