Scamming Grannies Is A Low Blow 
Health & Body, Liars/Scammers | Healthy Legal | April 27, 2022 
My grandmother got taken in by a scam commercial. They claimed something like: 
 
Commercial: “If you have Medicaid or Medicare, you may be eligible for this brace free of charge!” 
 
The problem is that they charge the insurance for a medical visit to get prescriptions for multiple braces, even though you never even speak to the doctor or whoever. 
 
By the time my mom and I stepped in, they had sent enough braces to immobilize Granny from head to toe — neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, back, knee, ankle, etc. 
 
We contacted the Medicare/Medicaid folks, and they said they were investigating the commercials. We still notice their ads on TV, and it’s been four years already.
