SCAM ALERT We have received reports of a new scam involving Medicare cards. Medicare recently mailed new paper cards with a unique member ID number to enrollees. Previous cards used the individual's social security number. The purpose of this update was to prevent identity fraud. Scammers have been calling Medicare recipients attempting to obtain personal information by asking for the old ID number (the member’s social security number) and claiming this information is needed to “activate” the new card. However, Medicare will be sending out the new cards automatically. They advise that members should destroy their old cards upon receipt of the new card and never provide personally identifying information over the phone. If you ever have questions about telephone or internet scams please contact the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842. For further information about this particular scam please visit: https://www.medicare.gov/forms-help-and-resources/your-medicare-card.html

SCAM ALERT The Staunton Police Department has received a number of calls from concerned citizens in reference to the "IRS Scam". Scammers are pretending to be agents or employees of the IRS and will demand gift cards or other payment by telephone to avoid arrest. Please don't ever give out personally identifying or gift card information over the phone, as law enforcement will never call to demand payment in lieu of an arrest.
