Jeff Bander first welcomed the delivery, thinking the kits were an extension of the free offer by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MORE ⬇️
Bander says, month after month, he keeps receiving at-home COVID testing kits even though he never ordered them.Each box comes with multiple tests and he estimates he's received about 70 to 80 testing kits.
While some tests look legitimate, Bander says a majority of the boxes he's received are manufactured in China, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Bander was not charged for any of the mystery deliveries but was sent an explanation of the charges from Medicare."I think it's some kind of a scam that Medicare is paying for something that I never requested," he said.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warns: Scammers are sending COVID at-home test kits to Medicare beneficiaries and then billing Medicare for reimbursement.
Like Bander, Mick Tarel reached out to the Let Joe Know team after being mailed test kits he never ordered. Similarly, his Medicare account was also charged. "They've charged the government in your name, using your Medicare number," Tarel said, questioning how scammers got his information in the first place.Both Bander and Tarel found a number included in at least one of the testing kits. The number would allegedly allow them to 'opt out' of receiving tests.If you receive an unsolicited COVID-19 test kit in the mail, report it.Report the scam to Medicare online.
