  It’s great that you recognized that suspicious call—Medicare scams are unfortunately common. To protect your father, advise him never to share personal information over the phone unless he initiated the call. Teach him to verify calls by contacting Medicare directly using official numbers. You can also report suspicious calls to the Federal Trade Commission.

  I also recommend setting up a trusted contact with his bank or credit union. This person can help monitor his accounts for unusual activity and provide an extra layer of protection against financial exploitation.
