Watch out for medicare scams, they call saying that they're from social security and yet they will ask for your social security number. Wouldn't they already know your social security number?
New medicare cards are being mailed out without social security numbers but another number that is unique only to you but it takes time and they will never call,unless you call them first.
There is also a "Can you hear me ?" scam. Never say "Yes" they will record your 'yes' and apply it to another recording such as "You want me to charge this to your credit card ?" which is followed of course with your recorded 'yes'.
No legit company will call you unexpectedly, unless you called them first and are expecting their call.
Another thing a person can do is to Google the number, when a dialogue box pops up saying "Google couldn't match any documents" then you know that number is fake. Beware tough business numbers can be 'spoof' on caller I.D.
Never press any buttons even to opt out it'll prove to them they have a real number. I followed this advice and I am down to only five scam calls a week.
In any case follow this rule: I CALL YOU, YOU DON'T CALL ME
