I called the Medicare number to enroll in part b and all I got was ads for emergency necklace and

A discount offer for Direct Tv as I kept following instructions I got cut off. I applied for A and B but all they gave me is A and my current health care won’t roll me over to Medicare without having both an and b. When I asked if I could pay out of pocket for healthcare until I straighten it out they said no since I was of age to get Medicare I couldn’t do a basic out of pocket plan!

I so hate what the orange taco Hitler has done to our agencies.

1. I got that, too. But it was a deceptively close but wrong number

I complained here and someone helpfully set me straight. Was it an 800 or 888 number?

I redialed and got the actual agency line. It wasn’t that helpful, but it wasn’t a scam!

Good luck!

3. My husband got the same thing this morning when he called VA to

reorder his medication. He got ads for an emergency necklace and
a discount offer for Direct TV and got disconnected.

5. Jesus. This really is Idiocracy become life now then.

6. He dialed from our land line and selected the VA number from our call directory.

This has never happened before.

4. That doesn't sound like a legit gov. call. Check the website you

got the telephone number from again. Make sure it doesn’t spoof a .gov website by putting more after it like .gov.partb.ai/register or something like that.

Those are spoofs.

and the same number on a letter I got from. social security.

8. Holy buckets. We are Idiocracy.
