Officials in Northern Michigan are warning seniors of a new scam that is targeting seniors via the telephone. The scam artist will tell the senior that they represent a pharmaceutical company and that they are offering free prescription cards. In return, all they need is the senior's bank account information.

Compassionate Care reminds everyone to never disclose personal information over the telephone. Please be sure your loved ones are aware of this scam and remind them to keep their personal information protected. Financial scams/abuse sometimes happen no matter how well you know the person.
