Report anyone attempt
ing to steal your money or
personal information to:
Your local police depart
ment and/or Georgia’s
SMP 1800-669-8387.
Here’s an example of
what to be aware of and
how agencies can help
should you become a vic
tim:
Mr. Lee has Medicare.
One evening he received a
phone call from a woman
who identified herself as
a Medicare representa
tive. The woman on the
phone told Mr. Lee she
could save him hundreds
of dollars each month by
signing him up for the
Medicare Prescription
Drug Coverage. Mr. Lee
pays over S3OO in drug
costs each month, so he
was eager to join. When
the woman said she could
sign him up over the phone
and asked for Mr. Lee’s
Medicare and checking
account number, he gave
them to her.
After sleeping on it, Mr.
Lee realized he had made
a mistake by giving out his
personal information and
contacted his local SMP
The SMP helped Mr. Lee
contact his bank to close
his account and report the
crime to the police and
Medicare.
