Seniors are especially vulnerable to fraud related to Obamacare.
Consumer protection advocates worry that fraudsters will falsely tell seniors that they need to renew their Medicare coverage or sign up for new exchanges in an effort to get seniors to divulge critical personal applications on application forms. This is a concern as a great many seniors in the United States are already signed up for various forms of Federal Government assistance and so it might appear rational to a senior that a "representative" from the Government needs a person to fill out additional information for the new Obamacare programs.
The same warnings always apply - never give out information that is being asked of you from an unsolicited source. Federal Government representatives will already have your social security information, date of birth and other important personal information. They will not have to ask for it.
Although the verdict is still out on just how Obamacare will work, it is clear that there has not been a vehicle like Obamacare in some time that can be used by fraudsters to steal social security information and other personal information.
