OK - there is already a fraud going around based on Obamacare, although it is nothing more than a variation on a theme and has been around for many years.
The victim will get a call from someone purporting to be from the Federal Government and state that insurance cards under the Affordable Care Act (a/k/a Obamacare) will be mailed out. However, before these cards can be mailed out, the person needs to give over some personal information to "verify" who they are, namely their social security numbers, dates of birth, bank account, etc.
Once again, the same old self-defense applies here. Do not give out personal information to people who are contacting you unsolicited. The representatives of the Federal Government do not randomly cold-call people - it is the other way around. You have to call an agent of the Government to contact them.
