The North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult services says that they have received several reports and inquiries in recent days about an “official-looking,” end-of-year mailing directed to seniors that appears to concern Medicare benefits. The postcard-size mailing is actually from a private firm that appears to be building lead lists for sellers of insurance products.

Filling out the mailing and returning it very likely will result in telemarketing calls, visits from sales agents or invitations to estate planning presentations where annuities and other insurance products will be pushed.
