Damn scammers

I received my Medicare Summary Notice today, and saw a slew of charges from Almaz Med. Supply in Woodside, NY for 120 "Alginate or other fiber gelling dressing".

I have had zero needs for that Aliginate dressing and I live in Oklahoma, and I have local doctors, none in NY.

So I called Medicare, and after less than 20 minutes, they saw even more fraudulent charges, and they will be sending me a new Medicare card and new number.

She said they see lots of scammers, usually in foreign countries, and the good news is I will not be billed for any of the scam. You tax dollars and mine were wasted paying Almaz Med, or they were scammed as well.

I am not the first one. Just search for them, and many pages of web links come up.

I wonder how many mega millions they scammed from our tax dollars.

fargin wankers!

There are too many sheißeheads out there stealing. I'd like them all to get their comeuppance. That's why I love the "Scammer Payback" youtube channel where the hackers go after the scammers.

Yep and it's only getting worse.

BTW: Most scammers have an IT support background and are based in India. Can you guess who trained them?

It would seem to me with all the technology we have that the system would "flag" a suspicious transaction the same way that credit cards do.

Yep. And the very helpful lady that helped me on the phone, said Almaz Med. Supply is a known scammer. Untold millions have been scammed right from Medicare for nothing more than a outright scam. No treatments at all, just rake in money.

My credit card company will send me a text on unusual purchases. I have to reply with a text with a Y to get it to go through. I was in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and bought two cases of Yuengling Lager back when we could not get it in Oklahoma. It was all I could get in my 911 with all the clothes we packed. Anyway, I received a text if it was a legit purchase.
