I do not know if these scams are new, but when researching health insurance fraud, there were multiple reports of Medicare Part D fraud. Medicare Part D is an optional prescription drug insurance program for people on Medicare. Enrollment in Medicare Part D is not mandatory and is open from October 15 to December 17 every year, so there should not be pressure to purchase the plan.
