The Salem Police Department received a Fraud Alert message from the Department of Aging. There is a scam making its way through Illinois in which a caller claims to work for Medicare and is verifying the victim's personal information, including bank account information, for newID cards. Please be aware that Medicare will not transact business this way. If Medicare issues new cards, they will send them by mail. Attached is a link to the National Council on Aging with the current TOP 10 scams facing seniors today. - http://goo.gl/7RW4K
